Stars of TV’s X Factor, The Reason 4 are on the brink of becoming the latest huge pop sensation. And thousands of music fans will get to see them perform their debut single, Take It All, live for the first time as the group support Peter Andre at Fontwell Park on July 2…..

The quartet appeared on The X Factor in 2010, progressing as far as the judge’s houses stage of the competition. Since then, Glenn, Marc, Nate and Scott have signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV and a record deal with Far West Music. Their first single is released on August 7 and is tipped to be a top 20 hit.

“Bridging the gap between JLS and Take That, the group put an unconventional spin on the ‘manband’ genre,” says the Fontwell concert’s promoter Michael Taylor. “Obviously, the big buzz for our event is Peter Andre’s appearance, but there’s a huge interest in The Reason 4 also. We’ve been deluged with requests from fans to meet them in person.”

A crowd of in excess of up to 10,000 has been anticipated for the open-air concert at Fontwell Park Racecourse, near Arundel.

The Reason 4 are currently writing and recording their debut album with Eliot Kennedy – a songwriter and producer for Take That, Bryan Adams, Celine Dion, Boyzone, Blue and many others – and Andrew Murray, who lists songs by Christina Aguilera, Natasha Bedingfield, Leona Lewis and Alicia Keys among his credits. Their support slot with Peter Andre will give their fans a first chance to hear songs from their debut album which follows hot on the heels of the single release.

The Daily Mail have called the guys X Factor’s “eye candy” with “original harmonies and no cheesy choreography”. OK! Magazine was “not quite prepared for the gorgeousness that is The Reason 4” while X Factor supremo Simon Cowell labelled them as “one of his favourite groups this year”.

“Everyone saw them storm their first audition on X Factor with an a cappella rendition of Cheryl Cole’s Fight for This Love,” says Michael.

“Their set is tipped to demonstrate that The Reason 4 are far more than just another manufactured boy band. And to do so in spectacular style. They provide a brand-new dimension to male harmony bands.”

The foursome are long-time friends. They met at school 13 years ago and list The Script, Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake and Stevie Wonder among their major influences.

“We believe that we came together for a reason,” says Glenn. “That’s why I came up with the name The Reason 4, because everything happens for a reason.”
