The Voice has chosen its winner. Javier Colon, who was mentored by Maroon 5's Adam Levine took home the inaugural title Wednesday night, beating Dia Frampton, Beverly McClellan and Vicci Martinez.

The father of two - who is also apparently quite a golfer - shed a few tears, natch.

"My oldest, who's 3½, said, 'Daddy! Daddy! We saw you win on TV!'" Colon told reporters, according to PEOPLE.com. "They were in a holding area and she said, 'We saw you win on TV, Daddy!' 'Yeah, baby, Daddy won.' "

Colon landed a recording contract with Universal Republic Records, $100,000 and a starring spot on the first Voice tour.
 

He's been slogging his way through the music biz for a while and getting nowhere.

He told PEOPLE on the eve of the finale, "I've been at this a long time, and it wears on you when you keep getting doors shut in your face, and you keep getting told you are not good enough to get another record deal and they decide not to, quote-unquote, waste their time on you. So this [opportunity] is amazing."

So, let's watch him win, shall we? Did the right singer win?



And here he is with Adam Levine, performing Man in the Mirror.
