As a member of boyband JLS, singer-songwriter Aston Merrygold was one of the most recognisable faces in pops.
The group achieved huge success after the group finished as runners-up in the fifth series of the X-Factor. Singles Beat Again and Everybody in Love topped the charts while their self-titled debut album sold over one million copies.
Since the break-up of the group, Aston has been working on solo material, refining his music and crafting his own sound.
