About
Javier Colon is a singer-songwriter whose warm, soaring voice and self-described “acoustic soul” have won over audiences around the world. A Connecticut native, he trained at the University of Hartford’s Hartt School and first made his mark as lead vocalist of the Derek Trucks Band before starting his solo career with two albums on Capitol Records.
In 2011, Javier became the first-ever winner of NBC’s The Voice, coached by Adam Levine. Millions of viewers came to know him through his performances of “Fix You” and “Angel” and through his duet of “Landslide” with Stevie Nicks. His album Come Through For You followed later that year.
Since then, he has shared stages with Joss Stone, Darius Rucker, Anthony Hamilton and the Indigo Girls, and he co-wrote and sang on a track for Vanessa Williams. He has performed everywhere from intimate listening rooms to Carnegie Hall. Whether he’s alone with an acoustic guitar or backed by a full band, Javier blends soul, folk and R&B, with heartfelt storytelling at the center of it all.
We’re thrilled to welcome Javier Colon to Somma.
