Biography
Javier Colon has had a long, successful career in music. Born and raised in Stratford, Connecticut, he began singing at the age of 8 and teaching himself guitar. As an adult, he signed with Universal Records and quickly gained recognition for his soulful voice. He was named the winner of Season 1 of NBC’s The Voice in 2011 and released three albums on Universal thereafter.
Despite this success, however, Javier felt that it wasn’t quite enough. In 2019, after eight years with Universal Records, he announced that he was leaving to start his own label—JB Music Group—where he could be more independent and creative as an artist. “I wanted to explore new musical directions which I did not feel like I could do while being part of a major label,” said Javier about his decision.
Now free from restrictions imposed by record labels, Javier is moving forward with plans for a tour later this year where fans will get the chance to hear some of their favorite songs performed live along with new original material from his upcoming album. He’s also looking forward to collaborating with other artists through JB Music Group who may have previously been overlooked or unable to find support elsewhere in the industry.
Career Highlights
Having already achieved a great deal in the music industry, Javier’s career continues to thrive. He has released seven albums throughout his career and had several hit singles such as “Stitch By Stitch” from The Voice and “Letting Go” from his album Gravity. His songwriting credits include some of Blake Shelton’s hits like ‘My Eyes’ and Pitbull & Ne-Yo’s ‘Time Of Our Lives’.
In addition to this, he has performed at renowned events such as the Super Bowl pre-game show and President Obama’s inauguration celebration. He also made history when he became the first artist ever to perform live on Good Morning America with a full band. As if that weren’t enough, he is an active philanthropist who works with organizations such as Keep A Child Alive and VH1 Save The Music Foundation which support music education in schools.
Throughout all of these accomplishments, Javier remains humble yet ambitious—pursuing new creative projects while striving for even greater success. With the launch of JB Music Group and a tour planned for later this year, fans can expect big things ahead from him.
Conclusion
