Early Life
Maelyn Jarmon was born on 8th December 1992, in Frisco, Texas, into a musically influenced family of Steve and Rebecca Jarmon, who assisted her in developing a passion for singing at a tender age. She began performing along with her father as a child, and that helped her to feel confident and on stage at a tender age.
But also, her early life was characterized by a huge challenge. She underwent a number of surgeries as she was having recurrent ear infections at the age of two, and her hearing was permanently compromised. The result was that she was totally deaf in her right ear and had only about 80% hearing in her left ear. Nonetheless, she never used her condition to curtail her musical dreams. Instead, she has often mentioned her hearing loss as a superpower, which enables her to listen to and feel music in an exceedingly unique and most emotional way.
She liked acting because she was a part of musical theater at a young age. She has performed and trained with such groups as the North Texas Performing Arts as well as performed in such musicals as Les Misérables and Thoroughly Modern Millie.
When she was 17, she went to New York City and began her career in Broadway and musical theatre. She took up different jobs to sustain herself during this time as she auditioned and acted. This was a very critical time in her life, both in her strength and self-reliance and in her artistry.
