Elijah Johnson (born June 24, 1998), also known as EJ and Elijah J, is an American singer and actor, and previous member of the boy band Mindless Behavior. Born in Detroit, Michigan, EJ began his career playing the character of Young Simba in the Disney Broadway Production of The Lion King. Later in his career, EJ became part of the Kidz Bop 22 crew. EJ is also known for performance on stage many times as a kid and for his singles "Meet Me on the Dance Floor".
On April 2014, EJ was announced to be a new member of Mindless Behavior. He remained a member of the group, among Princeton and Mike River, until its disbandment in 2017.
In June 2016, Mindless Behavior released their first album as the new "MB" titled #OfficialMBMusic. The album made number 100 in the Billboard Year End Chart. This album was released instead of their recorded album "Recharge" due to member Ray Ray leaving the group and having Mike River as a replacement. This left the group as a trio with members Princeton, EJ, and Mike River. Later that summer, the group was part of a film called Misguided Behavior, which will be released later in the summer of 2017. EJ is working on a much anticipated solo music EP project due to be released at the end of 2017, beginning of 2018!
