Biography
Maelyn Jarmon, an American vocalist trained in musical theater who possesses a precise and emotionally resonant style, achieved prominence after claiming victory on The Voice during the summer of 2019. The collection from her sixteenth season became her first entry on the Billboard 200.
Born in Frisco, Texas, Jarmon lost hearing in one ear and suffered partial loss in the other after undergoing an operation in early childhood to address repeated infections. Motivated primarily by the encouraging responses her vocal performances elicited from listeners, especially those facing auditory challenges, she initiated consistent vocal training upon turning thirteen and participated extensively in theatrical productions during her adolescent years. Relocating with her family to New York City at seventeen allowed her to seek opportunities in Broadway productions, yet she ultimately chose to concentrate on establishing herself as an independent recording artist.
Jarmon, then twenty-six years old, took part in the sixteenth season of The Voice, broadcast during the initial months of 2019. Among her renditions for the panel consisting of Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton were tracks originally popularized by Adele, Coldplay, and Maggie Rogers. During the concluding live show, she delivered her original composition "Wait for You," joined Legend for a duet of Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable," and performed Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," securing the top position. Following the May 2019 broadcast of the finale, Jarmon's The Voice: The Complete Season 16 Collection on Republic Records entered the Billboard 200 at position 176 while leading the Emerging Artists chart.
