To JD, “Keep In Touch” means being able to stay connected to his loved ones. “It was a fun and easy song to write because I was able to just sing about all the important people in my life, like all of my grandparents, aunts and uncles, the really cool stars that I have met, and especially my fans!”

At just 11, he has already made history by becoming the youngest male solo artist ever signed to Hollywood Records.
