The return of the boybands gave us Big Time Rush, One Direction and Heart2Heart but just recently, another new boyband has hit the spotlight, meet IM5!
IM5 is a boyband that was put together by Simon Fuller, Jamie King and Perez Hilton and it's members are Cole Pendry, Dalton Rapattoni, Dana Vaughns, Gabe Morales & Will Jay. The band debuted at the Youth Rock Awards last December 7, 2011 performing their original song When Your Heart Beats, Feel It. Here's a video of their performance:
- Gabriel Morales is the eldest among the five members (he will turn 17 on June 22 this year) while Dana is the youngest among them. (Dana just turned 14 last January 2)
- Will's first experience with musical instruments was at the age of 4 when he first learned to play the piano.
- Dalton got his first hand experience with playing guitars at the age of 11 when his Grandma signed him up for guitar lessons and he also used to be in a band called Fly Away Hero before he joined IM5.
- Dana started in the entertainment business at the age of 10 but he has been interested in performing since the age of 7.
- Gabe is a Cuban and a Venezuelan who was born and raised in Miami, Florida. He states in his profile in the official IM5 website that he is a fan of How I Met Your Mother.
- Cole had his first hand experience with musical instruments at the age of 4 but he didn't show interest in performing until he was in 6th grade when he joined his school's choir.
