With a strong following and well-established career, singers Jordan Anthony and Mackenzie Sol have joined forces to create J+M, a new pop duo making its debut with the single “Don’t Ya.”

This fresh release from 19 Entertainment and BMG brings a soulful pop sound to the digital stage, blending the harmonious voices of these two rising stars, both of whom gained major recognition on Season 22 of American Idol for their charisma and standout stage presence.

“Don’t Ya” features simple, catchy lyrics reminiscent of the classic pop songs from the 90s and early 2000s. Jordan and Mackenzie aim to break onto the music scene with more than just great voices. They bring their engaging personalities and strong social media presence as content creators, making this duo one to watch.

Initially, each artist was focused on a solo career. However, joining forces turned out to be a musically sound decision, with each artist’s unique energy and style complementing the other’s vocals perfectly.

“As a solo artist, I never imagined working with someone else, but when the opportunity came, I couldn’t resist. When we heard the song, we knew it had the potential to be a hit,” said Mackenzie Sol. 

Jordan Anthony expressed his excitement about collaborating, especially since “Don’t Ya” marks his first-ever duet release. He adds, “It’s always cool to be able to release alongside other artists, especially as this will actually be the first collaboration project I’ve dropped. So, I hope everyone loves it,” said Jordan Anthony.

A Long Road to Success

At just four years old, Mackenzie Sol took to the stage in front of Simon Cowell on X-Factor UK. Though his time on the show was short, it paved the way for his future in the spotlight. 

Meanwhile, Jordan Anthony made a viral splash on The Voice Australia at the age of 14, becoming the youngest finalist in the show’s history. His powerful performance quickly gained attention on social media, opening doors to further opportunities.

Their paths converged on American Idol’s 22nd season, and now, with Mackenzie’s charisma and Jordan’s heartfelt lyrics, J+M brings a unique energy to the pop world.

“Don’t Ya” is now available on all streaming platforms. This release marks the beginning of a partnership that might just revive the spirit of classic “boy bands” like Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and One Direction—and even tap into the phenomenon of K-pop groups like BTS and Blackpink.
