After heavy east coast touring Jolin began receiving regional country radio airplay which lead to his popular self-penned live songs “Girl Like That” and “Bedroom Eyes” getting picked up by nationally-syndicated Conman Radio.[11] "Girl Like That" and "Bedroom Eyes" were co-written with Cal Phillips.[12]

On April 9th, 2011 he released his LWM Records debut single “Thank God” to radio.[16] The single climbed the Christian Country Top 100 for 6-months before peaking at #6 in November, 2011.[17][18] "Thank God" was written by Nashville songwriter Andrew Scott Wills.
