Recently Named Billboard’s R&B Rookie of the Month for June 2025, The 17-Year-Old Artist Continues His Rise to Stardom With an Uptempo R&B Jam, Showing Off His Immaculate Vocals and Nimble Delivery
Critical Praise:
“JayDon — who voiced young Simba in the 2019 photorealistic remake of The Lion King — delivers a terrific vocal performance, intimately capturing the process of taking accountability while asking for forgiveness.” – Billboard
“…this multi-talented artist is proving he’s a force across both film and music… No studio, no autotune—just raw talent.” – ThisIsRNB
The Song:
A rising triple-threat in the world of R&B, 17-year-old JayDon is the genre’s next big thing. Shortly after being named Billboard’s R&B Rookie of the Month for June 2025, the multi-talented prodigy bumps up the tempo for his latest love song, sharing “Boujee Baby,” available everywhere via mega/gamma. Produced by Blaq Tuxedo, “Boujee Baby” layers helium-pitched vocal samples and spritely piano over the skittering hi-hats and thunderous 808 kicks of drill music, giving JayDon’s odes to his high class new love interest a pleasing forward propulsion. The song features an appearance from NY rapper Zeddy Will, who complements JayDon’s vocal theatrics with a charming, fast-paced verse of his own.
JayDon’s hot streak started last fall with “Ah! Ah!“ ft. 310babii, continuing in 2025 with the romantic ballad “Lullaby“ ft. Paradise and the USHER-sampling “I’ll Be Good.” “Lullaby” especially connected in South Korea, where it reached the top of South Korea’s Spotify Viral 50, remaining at the top of the chart for multiple weeks (it currently sits at #8), and has made in impact in other Asian markets, including China and Taiwan. “I’ll Be Good” earned praise from Billboard, BET, Rated R&B, and more, and inspired a choreography-heavy music video (750k views). Most recently, JayDon shared an artful video for “Lullaby,” with direction from Maseo Refuerzo. All four singles will appear on Me, My Songs, and I, JayDon’s debut EP, coming later this year.
Born 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 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 has a skill for acting, which he demonstrates in many of his music videos, music has remained his passion. In the new chapter of his career, JayDon is determined to blow up and become one of his generation’s most vital artists. Stay tuned for Me, My Songs, and I, coming later in 2025.
