The five members of PRETTYMUCH were trying to break into the biz as solo performers when Simon Cowell helped put them together as a group. The act took the “cover songs on social media” route (devised by its big industry backing) to fame early on, with videos of them singing and dancing going viral last year. 2017 also found the group performing on the Teen Choice Awards, the U.K.’s X Factor and the Total Request Live reboot.
This spring, PRETTYMUCH ensured its place in music history by releasing its single “Hello” as a fully-edible, fully-playable chocolate “vinyl” record, made in conjunction with Kellogg’s and infused with Chocolate Frosted Flakes. The band’s official video for the track — surely by coincidence — featured a dope guest appearance from their very dear friend, Tony the Tiger.
In June, PRETTYMUCH released its latest single, “Summer on You,” which was written by Ed Sheeran.
