He met Chad Grier, father of Nash and Hayes Grier, in 2014 at a ‘Meet and Greet Convention’ for selected social media celebrities. The stars must have aligned that day for Jonah and Grier signed him to ‘26’, a management company. The very next year he became a part of ‘DigiTour’ alongside Hayes, and five other social media sensations. They travelled across America, singing, performing, and meeting fans from cities, such as Los Angeles, Memphis, and Dallas. This was the first time he had been away from his family for more than a week.He spoke candidly to ‘Buzzfeed’s Ellen Cushing about the entire experience: “When you do a meet and greet, every single girl wants something special from you — an extra little hug or something. And that takes something out of you, almost — like, emotionally, you know? You have to be so willing — to hug and say ‘I love you’ so much. And you have to talk to every single person individually — which I love doing, but it’s actually, like, really emotionally tiring.” Fast forward to present; he is now much more comfortable with his popularity. He released his first single ‘I Meant It’ in 2015 which has a 4.9 star rating on iTunes. He followed it up with ‘Night Changes’ (2015), and ‘Next Ex-Girlfriend’ (2016). His first EP, ‘When the Daylight’s Gone’ came out in 2016, and has a full 5 star rating on iTunes. He has 132.3K fans on YouNow, and 321K and 155K followers on Instagram and Twitter respectively.

Acting on his mother’s suggestion, he began tweeting out a suicide hotline number on a regular basis. Several of his fans have reached out informing him how his influence has helped them to stay clean or stop cutting themselves. One such fan spoke to Cushing, “There was some stuff with my family, and my parents were going through some stuff, and — I’m living with my grandmother right now. And I was feeling like my family would never be back together again. And, um, I kind of just didn’t want to live anymore. So I sent him this note, and he actually responded, saying to stay strong and stuff. He saved my life.”A post shared by Jonah Marais • WHY DONT WE (@jonahmarais) on
