24. Nick Fradiani

  • How he finished: Season 14 Winner

Prior to Idol, Fradiani was part of a popular pop/rock band called Beach Avenue. Following his win, his song “Beautiful Life” became a hit and was used as the official anthem for the FIFA 2015 Women’s World Cup. He then released his album, Hurricane, in 2016, and dropped his first EP in 2017.

In 2022, the singer made his Broadway debut with A Beautiful Noise, where he played the legendary Neil Diamond.

He told Broadway World, “After American Idol I went solo, and it’s kind of cool to get back into a team, camaraderie-type feeling like a musical gives you. I’ve become such close friends with everybody in this cast, the ensemble especially, the Swings, just to see how hard they work. That bond, you win together, you lose together, it’s like when you’re in a band and you have each other, you created something, and it’s special.”
