Could Just Your Type Be the Next Big Boy Band?
Hitmaker Freddy Wexler is behind the new group, which he says will only work "if it’s real.”
Just Your Type, a new boy band made up of five teenagers with diverse musical influences, is set to embark on a big year ahead. The members of JYT, including Recker Eans, Toby Green, Caden Adamonis, Bryan Chan, and Tyler George, were scouted by veteran songwriter-producer Freddy Wexler, who has worked with artists such as Billy Joel, Justin Bieber, and Ariana Grande.
Wexler auditioned over 1,300 young performers, ultimately selecting the five for JYT. The band took a year of intense training in Los Angeles, honing their individual talents into a cohesive live act. This hard work paid off when they performed together for the first time at the SIX Compound yearly dance showcase in Los Angeles, feeling like a true family.
JYT's approach to building their fanbase is old-school, with the band touring summer camps across New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts in the summer. They performed for over 15,000 campers, an experience that was challenging since the teenagers were asked to put their phones away during the concerts. Despite the difficulty, the band's efforts paid off, as their performances left a lasting impression on the campers.
One camper, who initially gave JYT a thumbs-down, eventually approached the members to express how "awesome" they were after the performance. This genuine connection with the audience helped the band create a strong sense of fandom.
