Javier Colon became the first winner of The Voice on June 29, 2011. The Connecticut-born performer tried his hand at music before appearing on the show, releasing tracks both under labels and independently.

A member of Team Adam Levine, he impressed on The Voice and put out a studio album, Come Through for You, soon after. The record fell short on the charts and Colon ended his agreement with Univerdal Republic Records. The singer reached a new agreement with a different label and released Gravity in April 2016.

Gravity remains Colon's most recent studio album, though he continues to perform, including at the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular in 2022. —Madeline Boardman
