His second and third singles, "Enfant Terrible" and "Handsfree (If You Hold My Hand)" respectively, were released on 9 June 2008, followed by his debut album "Disastro" the week after, on 16 June.

Sonny J was propelled into the mainstream music scene when a fan published a viral video, featuring the The Jackson 5, on several well-known websites, before a demo version of "Can't Stop Moving" was played on BBC Radio 1. [cite web |url=http://music.guardian.co.uk/newbands/story/0,,2161706,00.html
