Junior Andre has admitted he is ‘overcoming challenges’ as he prepares to get his music career back on track.
Back in 2022, Junior, 20, had a promising music career as his debut single Slide hit No1 in the UK’s iTunes pop chart, with his follow-up track Only One also bagging the top spot a year later.
The son of Katie Price and Peter Andre, 20, signed his first record deal but in the months that followed, a number of delays appeared to stall the release of any further tracks.
While he’s remained in the spotlight, things have been pretty quiet of late on the music front, however, that now looks set to change.
Junior has now revealed that he is not ‘putting pressure’ on himself but has ‘hot’ new projects in the pipeline following the ‘challenges’.
He told The Sun: ‘I haven’t been putting pressure on myself and I’ve been overcoming a couple of challenges.

‘It’s nothing that I can’t beat but it will be good in due time.
‘Don’t sleep on me – trust me, it’s coming hot!’
Junior also told the publication that he is busy focusing on ‘music and acting’ as well as teasing plans for his own business as well as a fragrance line.
He took to Instagram earlier this week to share a black and white snap of himself alongside the caption: ‘Sometimes the most quiet seasons are the most powerful ones.
‘I’ve been moving in silence, learning, growing, making moves you haven’t seen yet. I think about you all more than you know….and when the times right, you’ll understand why I’ve been so lowkey.
‘My time is coming and when it does, we’re all going up together.’
Though he didn’t specify what he’s been working on, it is most likely to be music related as that is what he’s shown a strong passion for in the past.
Fans of Junior were quick to share their messages of support, with many also praising how he’s come across on his sister’s new documentary.

His family also showed their support with dad Peter, who recently teased his own new single, writing: ‘Love you son ❤️’, while Princess added: ‘You got this bro❤️.’
Junior’s words come after fans of The Princess Diaries rushed to social media to share their kind words about how much they love how close Princess and Junior are.
‘Yours and Juniors relationship is so beautiful to watch – loving the show, you should be extremely proud xxx.’
‘Lovely to see the relationship she has with her brother, they have both grown up to be lovely people.’
‘Loving the show – you and @officialjunior_andre bond is amazing. His face watching you smash the catwalk.’
‘A lovely couple of young siblings. Mum and dad must be proud.’
The siblings are children of Katie and Peter – who met in 2004 while appearing on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
The former couple tied the knot the following year and went on to split in 2009.
Earlier this month, Princess and Junior shrugged off being called ‘nepo babies‘ as they launched Princess’s brand new ITV2 reality series, insisting they’re working hard to make it on their own.

EXCLUSIVE
Truth about ‘horrible’ incident that triggered Peter Andre’s explosion with Katie Price: KATIE HIND
Speaking at the glitzy ITV launch of her show, Princess admitted that under the true definition of a ‘nepo baby’ the term applies, but said the focus should be on how she has built her own career over the past two years.
The rising star has already inked big-money deals with brands including Morphe and Superdrug, cementing her status as a celebrity in her own right.
She added that the new series will give fans an unfiltered look into her life, away from her famous parents.
Speaking to The News Movement she said: ‘Well obviously if you’re using the actual terms of a ‘nepo baby’ then yeah, but we are focusing on ourselves.
‘This is our own career and I feel like within the last two years I’ve built myself as a solo person, so this is a good time to for the show to come in as it actually shows what goes on in my life, without my parents.’
Big brother Junior added that it’s ‘natural’ for people to compare them to their superstar mum and dad but stressed that their success will come down to hard work and carving their own paths.
He said: ‘Yeah I mean, obviously we’re gonna be compared to our parents, they’ve done amazing things, that’s where we come from.
‘It’s inevitable – anyone would be compared to their parents, so you know that’s natural.
‘But what we’re doing is focusing on ourselves and really driving and pushing our own careers and working hard. For us to succeed we have to put in the work for it.’
When quizzed on what they would do differently – and what they’d do the same – as their famous parents, Junior said he was grateful for the way they’d been brought up, describing them both as polite, kind and ‘normal people’.
He added that some might assume otherwise, but the new show would prove they are just regular young adults navigating life like everyone else.
