JOHN AND EDWARD

Mentored by: LOUIS WALSH

JOHN GRIMES, 18
LOCATION: Dublin
OCCUPATION: Student

John is still at school with his brother and they live with their parents in Dublin. The earliest memory he has of singing is joining the school choir when he was 11 years old. When he was 14 years old he entered a school talent competition and competed against Edward, he came 3rd and Edward came 1st.

John likes to sing everywhere, bus, shops, streets. The boys once bumped into the Pussycat Dolls in a Dublin hotel bar and they sang to them – the girls invited them to a show after party but sadly they were too young to go. Their ultimate dream is to entertain and keep audiences happy.
