“We grew up in studios, so performing’s in our DNA,” the band explains.
Created in partnership with Wexler, JYT was formed through an unconventional process in which the members chose each other, resulting in a group with natural chemistry, complementary personalities, and a shared commitment to performance at the highest level.
“From the moment these five kids stood in a room together, I knew we had something special. JYT isn’t a manufactured boyband, they chose each other,” says Wexler. “I’m thrilled to be partnering with Monte and the incredible team at Republic, with whom I’ve shared some of the most pivotal moments of my career. America hasn’t launched a global boy band in decades, and these kids are about to change that.”
On the partnership, Monte Lipman, Founder and Chairman, REPUBLIC, shares: “My first interaction with Freddy was nearly 20 years ago when I tried unsuccessfully two separate times to sign him to a record deal. Two decades later, I’m proud to call Freddy an extraordinary partner as producer, label head, and creative force; as we launch an explosive new band together via his label Wexler Records / Republic Records. In the spirit of never say never, we finally found a way to be in the Freddy Wexler business after all these years.”
The guys have spent the past year in intensive development in Los Angeles, training with world-class choreographers led by Nick DeMoura (Justin Bieber), who also choreographed the group’s first visual project.
“We went from five kids to brothers fast, and this bootcamp’s been insane, but we love it. We just want to put on a show no one forgets,” JYT shares.
“When I first saw JYT dance, I felt the same fire that made NSYNC a movement, not just a band,” DeMoura explains. “These kids train like athletes, perform like veterans, and have the potential to be this generation’s defining boy band…which is exactly why I wanted to be part of this.”
JYT’s debut single, “What U Want,” released today, introduces their signature style: future-leaning pop that nods to the 2000s without ever losing its modern edge. It’s the sound of a group that actually dances—so the production leaves room for bodies to move, accents to hit, and rhythms to lock in.
A multi-part docuseries chronicling their formation and rise is currently in production. JYT is the next wave: a new American boyband built for this generation.
