The 17-Year-Old, mega/gamma.-Signed R&B Triple-Threat Keeps His Run Going, Sharing a Brooklyn-Set Video After Being Crowned Billboard’s R&B Rookie of the Month for June 2025
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 Video:
Singing, dancing, and acting at a high level, 17-year-old JayDon is ready to take over the world of R&B. The L.A. native crosses the country to connect with NYC’s Zeddy Will in the video for “Boujee Baby,” his breezy recent single. Produced by Blaq Tuxedo, “Boujee Baby” is a featherlight ode to a high-class love, as JayDon floats atop ethereal vocal samples and Zeddy Will adds a fast-paced verse of his own. In the video, directed by maxotg, JayDon and Zeddy Will dance through Brooklyn, from Williamsburg to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, as they comedically battle for the affections of one of the borough’s many baddies. The video culminates in a dance-off, as JayDon shows off his moves in sight of the Manhattan skyline.
“Boujee Baby” and its music video continues JayDon’s hot streak as he looks to make his name known in pop and R&B circles. The mega/gamma.-signed artist’s run 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 was interviewed by Billboard, who named the young prodigy Billboard’s R&B Rookie of the Month for June 2025.
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, JayDon’s debut EP, coming later in 2025 via mega/gamma.
