In the whirlwind search for the next global pop sensation, one unassuming teenager from Lancashire has captured the hearts of music fans. Josh, a key member of Simon Cowell's freshly minted boyband December 10, has rapidly emerged as a standout talent following the group's debut.
From Chorley to Cowell: Josh's Meteoric Rise
The journey began on the Netflix docuseries Simon Cowell: The Next Act, where the music mogul scoured the UK for male vocalists capable of forming a group with world-beating potential. Josh, aged 17, auditioned alongside his close friend and now-bandmate Danny, delivering a performance that immediately signalled his star quality to Cowell.
Hailing from Chorley in Lancashire, Josh delivered a surprising revelation during his audition: he had only been singing seriously for the past two years. This raw, developing talent evidently impressed, securing his place as one of the seven members in December 10, a band whose ages range from 16 to 19.
Instant Fan Adoration and Vocal Praise
The public's first major glimpse of the band's dynamic came with the release of their debut music video, a cover of NSYNC's classic hit 'Bye Bye Bye'. The response was swift and overwhelmingly positive, with a significant portion of the praise directed at Josh's vocal abilities.
Fans flooded the comments section, with one admirer stating, "I really love Josh’s voice." Another drew a flattering comparison to a global superstar, commenting, "Josh voice makes me feel like I hear JB's [Justin Bieber's] voice." This immediate connection with the audience has solidified his status as an early fan-favourite within the group.
Life Off-Stage and Staying Connected
While his professional life is thrust into the spotlight, Josh has chosen to keep his personal life, including details on his dating status, private as he focuses on his burgeoning music career. Fans eager to follow his journey with December 10 can stay updated via his dedicated Instagram handle, @joshdecember10.
The formation of December 10 marks Simon Cowell's ambitious attempt to recapture the phenomenal success of One Direction. With the group's debut now underway and members like Josh generating significant early buzz, the music industry is watching closely to see if this new act can reach the dizzying heights of their predecessors.
