The solo career of JAY B
JAY B is best known as the leader of the boy group GOT7. Prior to that, he acted in Dream High 2 and made his debut as a member of the duo JJ Project.
While under GOT7, he and member Yugyeom formed the sub-unit Jus2. He’s also known to write songs as Defsoul or Def., both for GOT7 and the Offshore Crew.
When GOT7 left JYP Entertainment in January 2021, the leader was the last of the members to sign with another label. Despite being part of different labels, GOT7 members assured their fans that they’ll still release music as a group.
In May 2021, he signed with H1GHR MUSIC. There, he made his debut as a solo artist with the hit single “Switch It Up.”
In July 2022, he departed from the R&B and hip-hop label before moving to CDNZA Records. After a year, in July 2023, the singer also left CDNZA Records.
Currently, JAY B is fulfilling his mandatory military service as he enlisted in February. To note, he hinted his enlistment through his latest album Seasonal Hiatus. He’s expected to be discharged in November 2024.
