Javier Colon, the first-ever winner of “The Voice,” is returning to the NBC competition for a special All-Star Showdown as part of season 29’s Battle of Champions. The singer-songwriter, who made history in 2011, will once again take the stage alongside other past winners and finalists.
Colon originally won season 1 as a member of Team Adam Levine. His return comes as the show brings back fan-favorite artists for a one-night competition judged by former coach CeeLo Green. The episode airs April 6 on NBC and will be available to stream on Peacock the following day.

“I am really excited about it,” Colon said while speaking to Extra about the album. “I was able to put together a bunch of songs that I really feel reflect who I am as an artist, and I really had a lot of creative control… I really am proud of it, and I can’t wait to share it with everyone.”
In addition to albums, Colon has released singles including “The Moon and More” and “Clear the Air.” He also continues to share music through collaborations and covers posted online.
