Former Nickelodeon child actor-turned accomplished musician James Maslow has released “On My Mind,” a collaboration with Israeli artists Shahar Saul and Maya Dadon, timed for the second anniversary of the October 7 massacre by Hamas.
The video for the song was filmed on location in Israel. The single merges Maslow’s pop sound with the distinctive voices of rapper Saul and the vocals of Dadon, creating a blend of international pop with Middle Eastern influences.
Bringing people together
“I wrote ‘On My Mind’ with the intention of showcasing the beauty, diversity, and joyful sides of Israel that I have experienced so many times myself,” said Maslow. “In a world that continues to grow divided, and often misled when it comes to Jews and Israel, I hope to use this song to bring people back together.”
Maslow, known globally for his career in music and television, has long used his platform to spotlight issues that matter. Rising to fame as a star of Nickelodeon’s hit series and platinum-selling band Big Time Rush, Maslow has since built a solo career that blends artistry with advocacy.
With “On My Mind,” he combines his music with a mission: ensuring that remembrance of October 7 is not just a date in the past but a call to action for unity and support.
