Meet the Voice 2025 coaches
Mel C
Mel C, full name Melanie Chisholm (who knew?), is joining The Voice Australia for the first time ever. However, while it’s her first time on the Australian iteration, Mel has some experience with the franchise. She was a coach on the British version of The Voice Kids back in 2021.
Mel said she’s “incredibly excited” about the new gig.
“I have always cherished my trips down under over the years, so to be there with such a super lineup of coaches in one of my favourite countries is a real honour,” she said in a press release.
“Also, very happy to be missing some of the British winter! Very much looking forward to unearthing some brilliant talent to join Team Melanie.”
Kate Miller-Heidke
Kate Miller-Heidke made her debut on The Voice Australia in 2024, and she’s be returning again this year.
“I’m absolutely stoked to be coming back to The Singing Olympics, aka The Voice, this year,” the multi-platinum singer said.
“I can’t wait to hear all the new voices. Singing is an endlessly fascinating art form with the mystical power of connecting people. I’m excited to meet the new coaches, all of whom are incredible artists, and to uncover some brand-new artists to join Team Kate. Let’s go!”
Ronan Keating
While Ronan Keating hasn’t been a The Voice judge in recent years, he’s somewhat of a veteran.
The When You Say Nothing At All singer coached aspiring singers on the series in 2016 alongside the iconic lineup of Jessie J, Delta Goodrem and The Madden Brothers. He coached Tash Lockart, who came in third place. You can see the full list of The Voice Australia winners here.
“I’ve had a love affair with Australia since I first set foot on Aussie shores nearly three decades ago, so I can’t wait to get back to the country where I also met and fell in love with my wife,” the British singer said of his return.
“A country that I now have family and feel right at home in. To be back in the big red chair on The Voice Australia in 2025 is going to be really special, especially alongside Melanie C, Kate and Richard.”
Richard Marx
American singer-songwriter Richard Marx is a brand spanking new addition the the panel, and he’s best known for his 1984 chart topper What About Me?
“I’m really looking forward to being a coach on this new season of The Voice for a number of reasons. Primarily, I’m excited to have the opportunity to meet and nurture some truly talented singers,” Richard said of the gig.
“But I’m also just very happy to be coming to stay in Australia for an extended time. My love affair with Oz began in 1977 when I was 13 and my parents brought me with them for a month-long trip. After many more visits on tour playing to thousands and thousands of Aussie fans, it’s become a home away from home.”
The Voice Australia will air on Channel 7 and 7Plus in 2025.
