Look Out For Elijah J’s New Release, “Meet Me on the Dance Floor!”

12-Year-Old Rising Star Elijah J Invites Us to “Meet Me on the Dance Floor!” with New Single and Video Release


Detroit,
MI – Willow Smith’s musical battle call has galvanized a new generation
of fresh, vibrant talent. Diggy Simmons, Mindless Behavior and Jacob
Latimore are just a of sampling of the recent explosion from a rising
tween market that is rocking young and old ears alike. Now wiz kid,
12-year-old Elijah J is tossing his hat in the ring with a sizzling
invitational video release “Meet Me on the Dance Floor” featuring Chaz
Marcus, on Motor City Hitz Records. With the new release, the Detroit
native unapologetically bangs our senses with dance moves that defy
gravity and a voice that bubbles with agile ability. Elijah J has come
out swinging, and his force will spin you dizzy.

With “Meet Me on
the Dance Floor” Elijah J embodies the excitement, exuberance and
exhilaration of the power of movement enjoyed by today’s youth. Directed
by Erica D. Hayes, who has also directed videos for Kem and Ledisi,
with editing by Andrew D. Tomlinson, from JWE Productions, the video
takes place in a lively club scene populated with tweens and teens
showing off their best dance moves.

“‘Meet Me on the
Dance Floor’ is a fun song for kids that adults can jam to as well, ”
offers Elijah J. “I had a great time filming it and I got a chance to
showcase some of my original dance skills. I’m hoping it is a song
everyone will want to party to!”

“Elijah J is no
newcomer to the game, ” notes his father and manager Carl Johnson, “as
many remember him as Simba in the Disney production of ‘The Lion King.'”
The talented thespian was selected out of 8000 kids in 2008 and starred
in the national tour for two years, covering 16 cities, including a
Broadway run in New York, and his current hometown, Las Vegas.
Indicative of his popularity, last year his debut single and video “Let
Me Do My Thang” received over 100, 000 views in the first few weeks on
YouTube without any marketing push.

In addition, as one of the
newly selected faces and lead singers of Kidz Bop’s national singing and
television group, Elijah J’s global brand continues to expand daily to
millions of kids around the world. Kidz Bop ( kidzbop.com/ ) is
the #1 leading social network in the United States for kids ages 5-12.

Elijah
J is on a continual path of progression, honing his talent with
national performances across the country. He has excited audiences at
the Las Vegas Michael Jackson Celebrity Tribute concert, where he
received a standing ovation; P-Diddy’s “2011 Joy To the World Festival”
in Philadelphia, PA; the Parti Program Charity event in Los Angeles, CA;
GM’s Black History Month Black Tie event and Fox News Leukemia &
Lymphoma telecast.

Not only a seasoned entertainer, he
is a conscientious speaker and leader in philanthropy work and serves as
the national spokesperson for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and
Reach Out & Read organization.
