From being singer-songwriters to forging their own paths in the industry, both James and Jay B get what it means to be real with their craft.
Each artist has their own story of outgrowing—be it an image, a relationship, or sometimes even their whole career. It is a journey of discovery that proves to us that life keeps and moving and growing, and so should we.
In the past few years, we have seen groups focus on their individualities, and artists jump to greater heights. Some reunite, while others choose to leave the memories behind for good.

When the maturity of our idols hit, it’s inevitable that they will choose to carve a name that’s truly theirs. Find their own image, make their own thing. That’s the similarity that may have brought Careless Co-Founder James Reid and K-Pop singer-songwriter and GOT7 leader Jay B together; and their fans truly await the next chapter of their lives.
What started out as a collaboration between the two on Reid’s track, “Hello”, now became an actual live performance at Jay B’s first solo concert in the country as James made a special appearance on-stage.

Besides “Hello,” the latter also sang his newest single, “u & i,” for the audience. K-Pop fans would know that fan chants are a big way of showing support to their beloved artists, and Jay B’s fans even came up with an on-the-spot one for James’s new track.
Two J is here! 💚
