1. Vincent Tomas: Vincent is best know as 1/5 of the boyband US5. After the band split up, he had a short stint on The X Factor US. Vincent has started recording solo material and releasing it on Itunes worldwide. His song 'Livin' Life' showcases Vincent's more soulful voice and the emotion that he brings across in this song is going to bring the audience to tears!
His latest release on Itunes is called 'You Know You Like Me' and it features Brynn Samms). This song takes a more in the club sound which leads back to his days in US5. The song will definitely get the party started or would be a great song to listen to whilst getting ready for a fun night out.
With a hugh fanbase in Europe, you should be seeing a lot more of this american boy!
2. Parade: The 5 piece girlband has already experienced chart success with their debut single 'Louder' storming the UK chart at number 10 and their second single 'Perfume' at number 38. Although the girls have supported The Wanted, Shakira, Alexandra Burke and Shayne Ward on tour, their debut album 'Parade' (featuring songs 'Ticking On It, 'Just A Girl and 'Yes You Are') only entered the chart at number 171.
Fans started to become worried as less and less information was given about the band's future until they released a free download of their song 'Light Me Up'. The song has a more upbeat tempo compared to their first two singles and it shows that Parade are still around to entertain.
It has now been confirmed that Parade will be releasing their second album in 2013 and they have been working with new songwriters/producers such as Tim Powell (Girls Aloud, Sugababes, Dappy) and ED Drewett (The Wanted).
There are exciting times ahead for the band and all we can say is: TURN IT UP LOUDER!
3. District3: District 3 is a boyband best know for there appearance on The X Factor UK Series 9. Dan, Micky and Greg met each other at school and decided they wanted to form a band and they started filming Youtube videos under the name GMD3 (This was changed to District3 whilst they were on The X Factor). Videos such as their cover of Carly Rae Jepsen's hit 'Call Me Maybe' and Maroon 5's 'Payphone' became hugh with thousands of Youtube views. With a growing fanbase and vocals of angels, 2013 should be a great year for the lads.
Although always being compared to Union J, District3 never let it get to them and they worked hard to show there is a place in the market for both groups.
Now the question is, when can we buy a song from the lads to put on our ipods?
4. Eric Saade: Ask anyone in Sweden if they know Eric Saade and they will think you are crazy. One of the biggest Swedish male singers of all time but where do we know that name from?
Eric represented Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2011 with his catchy pop song 'Popular'. Popular gained Eric a number 76 on the UK chart and since then, the music channels 'The Chart Show' and 'Scandipop' always show his music videos.
Eric's last song to be heard in the UK was 'Hotter Than Fire (LMX Remix)' which was featured on the 'Clubland 21' compilation album.
His latest songs in Sweden 'Marching (In The Name of Love)' and 'Miss Unknown' have been released as promotional songs ready for Eric's new album.
5. The Risk: The Risk were first seen on The X Factor UK Series 8 and were mentored by Tulisa. The 4 piece group made it through to the 5th week. After The X Factor it went quiet and rumours soon spread that the band had split up until the group finally announced that their debut single 'Missiles' was going to be released in January 2013. The Risk released the single themselves (with no help from a record label) and achieved a respectable number 60 on the UK chart.
This is just the beginning for the group and with a fanbase that just keeps growing, big things should be coming their way!
