JLS a.k.a Jack the Lad Swing are a four-piece boyband. This group were formed around 2007 under the name of UFO (Unique Famous Outrageous). The four members of the band had their own story when it came to what they did before joining the JLS.

Oritse Williams started competing in various talent contests since he was 14. In order to get his first break in the industry, he worked for free at a P. Diddy- inspired internship at Deal Real Records. By a chance, he ran into DJ Trevor Nelson and his talent was recognized as he was asked by Trevor to perform his own original song at the end of MTV's show "The Lick".

Marvin Humes was no stranger to the spotlight. He had appeared in several events taking place in such venues as Holby City and Grange Hill while he was still at junior high school. Years later, he was signed to Innocent Records as part of Simon Webbe-formed band VS. After the group broke up, he moved on to property business before being asked to join JLS.

Aston Merrygold, the youngest of the JLS, left school at the age of 16 and worked as a presenter for CITV's TV show "Fun Song Factory" for 3 years. He moved to London shortly afterwards in the hope of pursuing a singing career. While auditioning from one talent show to another, he became friends with Marvin.

The last member of JLS is Jonathan Gill who was known as JB. He spent the first 5 years of his life living in Antigua, discovering his musical talent at a very early age. After completing his exams at university, he decided to audition for "The X Factor" in 2007. It was at this point that JB came into contact with the other members of JLS.

JLS auditioned for the fifth season of the U.K. singing competition in 2008. Throughout the contest, their performance received mixed comments from the judges. Jls got through and they got Louis Walsh as their mentor. He was a good mentor obviously he put JLS through!! They were loved by everyone and also got through Louis also picked the right song for them but one night Simon Cowell didn't agree that it was the best song choice when they sung Britney Spears song 'Baby, One more time,' but they won him back when they sung Lonestars 'I'm already there' Simon loved it!! Jls got the highest amount of votes in the semi-finals. But in the finals when they sadly lost to Alexandra Burke. Although they lost to Alex they were gracious and congratulated Alex and are still REALLY GOOD friends with Alex.

Now Jls have more than 15 songs and it as only been two years!!!!!! There latest song at the moment is TAKE CHANCE ON ME!!!!
