Biography
The duo of Leondre 'Bars' Devries and singer Charlie 'Melody' Lenehan initially teamed up on Facebook in 2013 before meeting early in 2014 when they formed the band under its current name. They went on to successfully audition for 'Britain's Got Talent' in the same year. They performed with such success in the heats that the lead judge, Simon Cowell, pressed the 'Gold Buzzer' and sent them straight through to the semi-finals. The pair went on to reach third place with their first single 'Hopeful', which also carried a strong anti-bullying message. However, not winning the competition didn't stop them signing a deal with Cowell's 'Syco' record label. The duo released their first album, '143', on that label in 2015 and it went onto reach number four in the UK album chart. This was followed in 2017 with the 'Generation Z' album that reached number three in Poland, going Platinum. In 2016 the duo's management team were threatened with a lawsuit from Leondre's father Antonio over the songwriting credits on their hit single 'Hopeful'.
