After the Justice Crew guys were signed to a major label as recording artists, they tasted some serious success. As their website pointed out, their single "Boom Boom" soared to No. 1 on the Australian charts, eventually certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association six times. Justice Crew, however, was not a one-hit wonder. Their next singles were also hits, with "Best Night" and "Everybody" going double and triple platinum, respectively. Subsequently, another single released by John Pearce and his bandmates, "Que Sera," also shot to No. 1 — and stayed there for nine weeks, making the performers the first Australian artists to spend that many weeks on the charts since 1983.

The group faced a bit of turmoil in 2014 when Justice Crew member Emmanuel Rodriguez, aka E-Man, was asked to leave. Pearce addressed Rodriguez being fired, hinting that there was a personality conflict. "It's a long story, but in a nutshell, in a group not everyone gets along," Pearce told the Herald Sun. "... You've got to be a team player because we're a team."

Justice Crew also proved to be a popular live act, and toured with such top-tier names as One Direction, Chris Brown, Kesha, Pitbull, and Janet Jackson. In fact, the group toured continually during the 2010s. In 2019, Justice Crew released the single "So Long," and that same year headed to America to compete on "America's Got Talent: The Champions." Unfortunately, Justice Crew wound up being eliminated in the first episode.
