Singing to win the title were three talented finalists, Maxine Brooks from Birmingham, Patrice Campbell from London, Kieron Bygraves from Huddersfield. Making the all-important decision on who the winner would be were the judges: TV presenter and celebrity vocal coach Carrie Grant, MOBO award-winning gospel performer and Step FWD Awards 2021 Male Artist of the Year CalledOut Music and UK Christian Charts-topping, soul-singing star Mica Paris.
