Where Is ’The Voice’s Maelyn Jarmon Now? Season 16 Champion’s Life Today

Season 29 of The Voice will feature the brand new in-season All-Star Competition, where coaches John Legend, Kelly Clarkson, and Adam Levine will bring back some of their past contestants to compete in sing-offs during the Knockout Round. For Team Legend, one of those returning artists is the “All of Me” singer’s only past winner, Maelyn Jarmon, who was 26 when she was a contestant on the show.

Jarmon, who is completely deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, won Season 16 of The Voice back in 2019. It was Legend’s very first season as a coach.

As she prepares for her return to The Voice stage in hopes of helping her coach win an advantage during Season 29, scroll down for updates on what Jarmon is up to now.

What is Maelyn Jarmon doing now?

Jarmon is continuing to pursue her music career after The Voice. In May 2025, she returned to The Voice stage to perform her single “Dreamboat,” which is now available on streaming platforms.

In addition to recording new music and performing live, Jarmon has also begun dabbling in theater. She starred in a production of The Last Five Years in Warwick, New York, in 2024, and recently wrapped up a run in Jesus Christ Superstar for Broadway at Music Circus in Sacramento, California.

Is Maelyn Jarmon in a relationship?

In 2019, just weeks after she won The Voice, Jarmon got engaged to fellow musician Johnny Murrell. In a now-deleted Instagram post, she wrote, “I said, ‘Yes!! Of course!’ I can’t wait to spend forever with you, @johnnymurrell.”

However, it’s unclear whether the two are still in a relationship. Their posts about their engagement have been deleted and they no longer follow each other on the social media site.

How did Maelyn Jarmon lose her hearing?

Jarmon lost her hearing after getting multiple ear infections as a child. “My eardrum just never healed,” she explained on The Voice.

However, rather than looking at her disability as a disadvantage, she embraced it. “I don’t hear music the way most people do,” Jarmon admitted. “But I found a kind of unique take on singing.”

She explained that the way she hears herself sing is “like when you plug one finger in your ear,” which she referred to as a “superpower” because “a lot of singers do that when they have to do harmonies and hear themselves.” Jarmon added, “It helped me find music in my own way. The music moves through the air, the vibrations.”
