Career
2014–16: The Voice UK
Jolan had previously performed a blind audition in the third series of The Voice UK, singing Labrinth and Emeli Sandé's "Beneath Your Beautiful", but failed to make any of the coaches turn for him and he was therefore eliminated straight away. In 2016, he auditioned again, performing Terence Trent D'Arby's "Wishing Well". Three out of the four coaches – Boy George, Paloma Faith and Ricky Wilson – turned for him and he elected to join Team Ricky. He went on to reach the final where he was defeated by Kevin Simm, who was also on Wilson's team.
