J-14 is scouting out the hottest music around... and this week's pick is Olly Murs!
Here are the five things you need to know about One Direction opener Olly Murs, whose single "Heart Skips a Beat" (featuring Chiddy Bang) is out now! Check out his single here!
1. English singer-songwriter Olly Murs first broke on to the music scene when he became the runner-up on the sixth series of 'The X Factor' in the UK. It didn't take him long to take over the UK and now, he's set for his US debut release this fall! "I think to come to America is a massive thing for any artist, so I think if I got a number one album in America, that would be a crazy moment," Olly tells J-14.
2. Not only does he have the pipes, but he's also working on improving his instrument playing. "I can play a bit of guitar, and I've just bought a grand piano so definitely want to get some lessons this year," he says. "I have co-written the majority of all my songs on both my albums and love getting involved in the writing process."
