Simon Cowell's latest venture into the world of pop music has introduced the world to December 10, a fresh-faced boy band formed through the Netflix docuseries Simon Cowell: The Next Act. Among its seven members is Danny, a talented 16-year-old whose journey from a Lancashire town to the spotlight is capturing hearts.
From Chorley to Cowell: Danny's Audition Success
The path to stardom for Danny began with encouragement from his family. His mother was the driving force behind his decision to audition for Cowell's search for a new global group. He didn't go alone; his close friend Josh, who is now his fellow bandmate, stood by his side during the tryouts in Liverpool.
The audition proved to be a turning point. Danny performed a cover of Teddy Swims' 'Lose Control', a rendition that instantly won over the judges and music mogul Simon Cowell. His performance secured him a coveted place in the newly formed band, which Cowell hopes will emulate the success of One Direction.
Getting to Know Danny: Age, Hometown and Family
So, who is the boy behind the voice? Danny is 16 years old, sharing the same age as bandmate Nicolas. He hails from Chorley, a town in Lancashire. While no one else in his immediate family is musical, his talent was first spotted by his aunt when he was just eight years old. She believed he had a great voice and encouraged him to pursue singing.
On the docuseries, Danny opened up about facing challenges in traditional education, having been expelled from school. He expressed that music was the path he truly wanted to follow, stating: “I really struggle at school and feel like [music is] something I really want to do.”
Life in the Spotlight and Social Media
As December 10 releases their debut music video and prepares for a follow-up documentary, interest in the band members is soaring. Like his bandmates, Danny appears to keep his personal and dating life private, with no details currently available to the public.
Fans eager to follow his journey with the band can find him on Instagram. His handle is @dannydecember10, where his bio simply sends love to his supporters, reading: "love all of you guys ❤️." The band is poised for a busy 2025 as they build on the platform created by the Netflix series.
