Summary

- The teenager balanced school studies with his new music career.
A 17-year-old student from Rochester, Kent, has transitioned from his school choir to a prominent role in a new boy band curated by pop mogul Simon Cowell. John Fadare was selected for the group, named December 10, through a rigorous audition process featured on a Netflix series. The band, comprising seven teenagers, launched their first single, "Run My Way," on Friday.
Fadare, who has been part of his school choir for five years, described his new status as "weird" with peers unsure how to interact. He pursued his passion for pop music, a decision that led him to audition for Cowell's project after initial hesitation, spurred by his father's encouragement.
The audition process led him to Miami for the final stages. Despite the whirlwind of international travel for recording and appearances, Fadare is determined to complete his A-levels in music, drama, and English. He embraces the contrast between his academic life and his burgeoning music career, which involves travel to cities like New York and Los Angeles.
