He then had live performances on Little Big Shots singing The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back", The Ellen Show singing "Who's Lovin' You", and the 60th Annual Grammy Awards to support Childish Gambino's "Terrified". In December 2017, he sang the national anthem before a Los Angeles Clippers game after a viral singing display a few weeks prior.

In 2019, McCrary co-starred in the Universal comedy film Little, and provided the voice of young Simba in the live action remake of the Disney film The Lion King. McCrary said that "Donald Glover (who voices adult Simba) is so talented that actually did have to take it into consideration, because if Simba is going to grow up to be some sort of figure and you know of it, you have to keep that motive." Also that year, McCrary also portrays a young Michael Jackson in the BET series American Soul, which premiered in February. On April 19, McCrary released his debut EP, Shine, which includes production from Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox.

JJ Batteast is a humble kid with a huge personality! He is the only boy leaving no choice to be a ladies' man in the near future! JJ has always wanted to pursue acting since age 3 when his mom began taking him to several auditions that ended up leading nowhere except for asking for several thousands of dollars just to get him on popular TV shows until one day when his mom woke him up one morning after hearing about auditions for Disney The Lion King! Needless to say God blessed this Chicago kid with the star role of young Simba where he toured with the cast from January 2015 until August of 2015! He then went to Broadway after that for as an understudy for a short while. Shortly after returning home he auditioned for Mr. Berry Gordy himself where he then landed a role in Motown the Musical as young Michael Jackson, Berry Gordy and Stevie Wonder. He toured with the cast from January 2015 and also received his Broadway credit with this outstanding cast when he made his Broadway debut in July of 2015! JJ is destined for greatness! He has recently worked with Katheryn Bigelow in The Untitled Detroit Project and now has two film credits! He is praying and looking forward to being on Disney and Nickelodeon television shows as well as starring in movie roles with some of the best actors and directors in the industry! Grateful to God for blessing him with such incredible opportunities! Thanks mom and dad (DaShana and DeJon) for always being by my side and supporting my dreams!
