JTR is a Swedish boy band made up of three brothers - John Andreasson (aged 25), Tom Lundbäck (aged 22) and Robin Lundbäck (aged 21). The band’s name is made up of the first letters of their given names John, Tom and Robin. The brothers’ stepdad and mentor, Hayden Bell, is a renowned Sony Music for the Asian region, and was also instrumental to the success of “You Ruin Me” hitmaker duo, The Veronicas.
Even with the mentoring of a music label biggie, JTR made it quite huge all on their own. Flying from Sweden to Australia, the trio auditioned in the 5th season of The X Factor Australia in 2013, impressing the judges and the audience with their cover of Justin Bieber’s “As Long As You Love Me”, adding rap lines in between. Finishing seventh in the competition, JTR started working on original material for their very own record.
