LEGEND HELPED JARMON GROW

Jarmon, who is deaf in one ear, calls the disability her “superpower.” She shared that working with Legend had also helped her grow as a person.

The young singer explained: “Working with John, the main thing is that he really trusts my instincts and it makes me trust my instincts more.” She added: “I questioned myself a lot before I got here.
