Twenty-one-year-old maryjo is a double-threat: She already boasts a massive social presence, with more than 1.1 million followers of her TikTok account. And the mainstream is already familiar with the singer-songwriter too, as she competed on American Idol in 2021 and delivered an unforgettable duet performance of “Foolish Games” with Jewel.

And yet, despite all those early accomplishments, maryjo—who hails from Cleveland—almost didn’t sign to Atlantic Records… for the second time.

Originally, [Atlantic contacted maryjo] a year ago. I met with them, but they asked for more music. So then, a year ago, [and I was in sessions]. So I sent them my song “Traffic”—which is actually the next single we’re releasing. [Atlantic executives] immediately jumped on it. That song is what made it happen!”
