So what all has Huntley has been doing since he won the show?
Huntley thanked his fans
Following the life-changing win, Huntley took to Instagram to thank the viewers who helped him thrive.
"I love you guys. Thank you for believing in me. Going into this my only expectation was to go out there and create a moment." Huntley shared. "I’m trying to still wrap my head around all of this honestly and I’m just so grateful for not only this opportunity but the relationships and bonds I made along the way. Season 24 of The Voice was definitely one for the history books. God is good."
Huntley performed the National Anthem at two NFL games
Huntley first sang the national anthem at the December 2023 Buffalo Bills vs. Los Angeles Chargers game and then performed at the halftime show. He later shared a video of his performance on Instagram.
In January 2024, he was asked to perform the national anthem at the wildcard game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Before relocating to Fredericksburg, Virginia, Huntley had lived in Spring Hill, Florida — just outside of Tampa — and as a longtime fan of the local team, Huntley achieved a major dream with his performance.
"If you know me, you know my whole life I’ve been obsessed with two things, one being music and the other is my love for the Buccaneers," Huntley wrote on Instagram alongside a baby picture of him repping a Buccaneer uniform. "I found out this week that I’ll be singing the National Anthem for Prime Time Football on Monday night for the wildcard game between the Buccaneers and the Eagles. God is so good."
Huntley performed at two music festivals and toured the country
In January 2023, Huntley took his rousing vocals to Manteo, North Carolina, to perform two high-energy shows at the historic Pioneer Theater. Hewas elated to get the opportunity to reenact Andy Griffith's iconic stance while putting his name up on the marque, sharing the moment on Instagram.
"The Pioneer Theater was such an amazing venue and I'm glad I got to start this new journey right here!" Huntley captioned another Instagram post with pictures from the performance. "Here are some shots from both the shows this weekend. We'll be posting a lot of behind scenes from this all week long just to show you how special this little town is."
Along with Huntley other performances in Las Vegas and beyond, he also performed at his first festival in March 2023, joining the lineup of Arizona's Out of the Park Music Festival. "So excited for my first festival of the year!" Huntley shared with fans during his Instagram announcement. "Can’t wait to see you Arizona."
Huntley also joined a lineup of former Voice Artists for an exciting three-day concert series in Nashville at Blake Shelton's Ole Red Restaurant alongside fellow former competitors like Alexandra Kay, Jake Hoot, and Lana Scott.
He shared a video of the performance to Instagram, in which he tore down the house with a soulful cover of Alex Clare's "Too Close."
Huntley has been spending quality time with his family
While music is always on the mind for Huntley, he is also a proud father of two children: a daughter, Stella, who was 6 when her father first auditioned for The Voice; and his son, Michael, born in 2021. Stella made an adorable appearance during Huntley's Blind Audition, ultimately helping her father choose Niall Horan as his Coach.

"I think that my main concern is to take a step back and just breathe and just really take everything in," Huntley told Entertainment Tonight in December 2023 after he won. "This experience has taken half a year. I've spent six months away from my kids — my son is speaking in full sentences now. It's insane. But this has all been so worthwhile. I just want my career."

Huntley chatted with NBC Insider about his "insane ride" to victory, admitting the victory wasn't his primary mission. Huntley's focus has always been on creating music and performing, but the honor of claiming the Season 24 crown was a delightful surprise.
"I think for me, winning The Voice wasn't really my goal," Huntley told NBC Insider. "Every time I went out there, my goal — every single time — was to create a moment. Because I never genuinely thought that I was going to win The Voice. I just wanted to create a resume to show exactly who I was."
Huntley teased new music
Before making waves on The Voice, Huntley independently released his debut single, "Holdin' On," in 2022.
Huntley has since revealed that Horan made a significant impact on the way he approaches making music now.
"[Horan] definitely helped me find out what my brand is, and also, where my brand can branch off to," Huntley told NBC Insider. "I definitely want to stay true to my rock and roll roots. But I've shown that I can also jump into the mainstream with records like 'Way Down We Go,' 'Daylight,' and also 'Another Love.' This man knows how to pick songs, I'll tell you that."

"I honestly only sang one song on this show that I've ever performed live," Huntley revealed, shocking the proud Horan. "The fact that he's challenged me this whole time has just been insane. I feel very blessed to have him as a Coach. I think that it was definitely a Godsend."
As of April 2024, Huntley has yet to release new music officially, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have some masterpieces brewing. On March 27, the Season 24 winner shared a teaser of his new song — titled ''Tell Me When It's Over'' — via Instagram.
