The Wanted
U.K.’s new boy band sensation, The Wanted, is made up of Jay McGuinness, Max George, Nathan Sykes, Siva Kaneswaran and Tom Parker. The Wanted are already rivaling some of the biggest music acts around today. “Most boy bands have very similar sounds,” explains Nathan. “We wanted to make ours different – not just from other groups, but each song unique too.” And combine that great music style with humble backgrounds and a down-to-earth approach and you can immediately see why people adore them.
