Maelyn

Maelyn Jarmon, born on December 8, 1992, in Frisco, Texas, developed an early connection with music despite experiencing hearing loss in her right ear as a child. She considers this a unique aspect of her connection to sound, focusing on vibrations when necessary. Jarmon lived in New York City for nine years before gaining national recognition. In 2019, she competed in Season 16 of the American television singing competition, ‘The Voice.’ During her Blind Audition, she performed Sting’s ‘Fields of Gold,’ which resulted in all four coaches—Adam Levine, John Legend, Kelly Clarkson, and Blake Shelton—turning their chairs. She chose to join Team Legend, marking John Legend’s first win as a coach on the show. Her performances throughout the season included renditions of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ and Coldplay’s ‘The Scientist,’ which garnered significant public and critical acclaim, eventually leading to her victory on May 21, 2019.

Following her win, Maelyn Jarmon signed with Republic Records. Her career continued with notable performances, including opening for OneRepublic and The Fray in 2019. In the same year, she sang ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ at ‘A Capitol Fourth,’ an annual televised Independence Day concert held in Washington, D.C. Jarmon has maintained an active presence on social media, using her YouTube channel to share vocal covers, such as her 2025 performance of Sting’s ‘Fields of Gold.’ She also expanded her artistic endeavors into theater, starring as Cathy in Jason Robert Brown’s musical, ‘The Last Five Years.’ In a 2024 interview, Jarmon confirmed she is recording new music with Moon Records. She returned to ‘The Voice’ stage during Season 27’s Live Finale on May 19, 2025, to perform her original song ‘Dreamboat,’ sharing a reunion with John Legend.
