The 17-Year-Old R&B Prodigy, Who Got His Big Break as the Voice of Simba in 2019’s The Lion King, Shows Off His Vocal Chops in His Lush New Love Song
“Lullaby” Was Written by Felisha King (Formerly of Cherish) and Produced by Harv (Justin Bieber, Summer Walker, Normani)
The Song:
A rising star in the game with golden pipes and the resume to match, 17-year-old JayDon was born to sing. Blessing us with a new love song on Valentine’s Day, the young artist shares “Lullaby,” his new single, available everywhere via Zoo / mega / gamma. Produced by Harv, a GRAMMY-nominated producer known for hits like Justin Bieber’s “Peaches,” and written by Felisha King, formerly of the R&B group Cherish (“Do It To It”), “Lullaby” is a lush ballad in stately 6/8 time. As he pledges his devotion to his one true love, JayDon demonstrates his vocal talent, flexing his acrobatic vocal runs and showing off a swoon-worthy falsetto: “And I sleep at night, cause you’re by my side/You’re my lullaby,” he sings. The song features a guest appearance from rising artist Paradise, who provides a smooth-talking middle eight.
“Lullaby” is JayDon’s second single, following “Ah! Ah!,” an energetic anthem released in Fall 2024. A collaboration with fellow talented L.A. teen 310babii, “Ah! Ah!” is an energetic West Coast party anthem, representing a new phase in JayDon’s career. The song has over 500,000 streams across platforms, including 300k on its YouTube video. “Lullaby” and “Ah! Ah!” will appear on JayDon’s debut EP, coming later this year.
Formerly known as JD McCrary, JayDon might be young, but he has a remarkable resume–he’s been captivating audiences as an actor, dancer, and singer for over a decade. Influenced by R&B icons like Usher, Chris Brown, and Bobby Brown, JayDon honors his R&B roots, while cementing himself as an artist for any era. JayDon broke onto the scene with performances on NBC’s Little Big Shots and collaborated with Childish Gambino on the iconic album Awaken, My Love!, which they performed together at the 2018 Grammys at the tender age of 9. With viral covers like his rendition of The Jackson 5’s “Who’s Loving You,” JayDon has quickly earned fans worldwide. At 10-years-old, he was the youngest male solo artist to sign with Disney/Hollywood Records, leading to his role voicing Simba in the 2019 live-action The Lion King. Later on, JayDon starred as Kenny Payne in the hit TV series The Paynes.
Though he had a skill for acting, music remained his passion. In the new chapter of his career, JayDon is determined to become a defining male pop/R&B star of his generation. Stay tuned for JayDon’s upcoming EP, coming Spring 2025.
