Bruno Mars nephews set America’s Got Talent Season 21 audition
bruno mars’ nephews Nyjah Music and Zyah Rhythm are set to audition on Season 21 of America’s Got Talent in a televised episode on Tuesday, June 9. The North Shore brothers enter a show that reaches more than 20 countries and puts $1 million on the table, giving them a national platform before a new callbacks round even begins.
June 9 at 2 p.m. HST
The second episode of Season 21 airs at 2 p.m. HST on NBC, and that timing is the immediate business here: one appearance can move a duo from regional attention to a broadcast audience with millions of followers on social media. The show’s judges this season are Howie Mandel, Melanie Brown, Simon Cowell and Sofía Vergara.
Nyjah Music and Zyah Rhythm already have traction outside the talent-show lane. Their Spotify audience tops more than 250,000 monthly listeners, and their cover of Elvis Presley’s “Burning Love” was featured in Disney’s live action “Lilo & Stitch” in 2025. That gives the audition a different kind of pressure than a first-time amateur slot; they are walking onto a network stage with some existing streaming proof behind them.
Bruno Mars family connection
Nyjah Music and Zyah Rhythm are Bruno Mars’ nephews, a detail that will travel fast once the episode airs. They wrote on Instagram, “Every stage is an opportunity to share our passion, learn and grow,” which sounds less like a publicity line than a working artist’s note to self. The family name may draw a wider first look, but the stream counts suggest they are also trying to be measured by the performance itself.
Their timing lines up with a season that adds a new callbacks round, giving selected acts a second chance to perform before judges decide who advances to the live shows. That raises the stakes for the audition beyond a single night: a strong first set can still have to survive an extra round before the competition turns live.
June 12 release date
Nyjah Music and Zyah Rhythm also said their new song, “Waste No Time,” will be released on June 12, just three days after the televised audition. For a duo already carrying more than 12 million streams on “Burning Love,” the sequence makes the AGT slot more than a novelty booking; it becomes a release-week amplifier that can send viewers straight to the new track.
If the audition lands, the payoff is straightforward: a shot at the $1 million prize, plus a wider audience that may already know the brothers’ voices before the judges do.
