James Bourne, Charlie Simpson, and Matt Willis shot to fame in the early 2000s with their band 'Busted'. Matt Willis said his mother asked him to participate in a talent competition, and he sang "Don't Look Back in Anger" at the Haven Holidays camp. He added that someone working for Sylvia Young was in the crowd and asked him if he wanted to come for auditions. Willis said yes as a 14-year-old.

He said he loved singing, which he enjoyed and was good at. He wanted to stay and be better instead of leaving.

He fell in love with acting while in school and never thought he'd become a musician. He just sang as a hobby in his spare time and met James (Busted). The two began writing songs together. He is the "Year 3000" star and has acted in "Waitress" and "Flashdance" productions. We will see him star alongside Laura Whitmore, 'Love Island's host, in "2:22 A Ghost Story."
