about
Oritsé Williams, also professionally known as Oritsé, is the founder and former member of British boyband JLS. Oritsé created the band in 2006 under the then name UFO (Unique Famous Outrageous) very much with his heroes in mind: The Jacksons, Boyz ll Men, N'Sync, N.E.R.D, but in the years that followed, found it an uphill battle to gain recognition in a predominantly pop-driven UK music industry. In 2008, two years after the band’s creation, the opportunity came to take the project onto the national stage as contestants on the hit UK TV talent show The X Factor. This would mark the beginning of the band’s seemingly meteoric rise to fame, from where they would go on to become one of the most popular boy bands in UK music history under the name JLS (Jack-theLad Swing; a tribute to the harmonydriven 90’s swing that originally influenced Oritsé to create the band and its homegrown UK roots), selling over 10 million records worldwide, achieving four UK top three albums and five UK numberone singles, in addition to winning five MOBO Awards and two BRIT Awards. The band’s unbeaten reign at the top of the UK music charts and as trendsetters at the forefront of UK pop culture came to an end in 2013 when the band split. Oritsé was born on 27th November 1986 to parents of West Indian origin. Since the age of 12, he has cared for his mother Sonia, who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and has also looked after his sister and two brothers. Oritsé attended Larmenier & Sacred
