Collabro 是 2014 年“英国达人”的冠军,并将于同年 6 月发布唱片、2015 年全英国巡演。
Collabro 的五名成员是在网络上认识的,借着对音乐剧的共同兴趣,他们在预赛前几周才组团,在伦敦的酒吧中排练曲目。五人中有三人分别是工人、整体厨房推销员和日本餐馆服务生,另两位分别在加油站和医院工作。评委在初赛中曾问,他们会怎么会有信心组图参加达人秀大赛,乐团组建者——20岁的马特(Matt)答说:「自然化学反应吧。」
5月26日的半决赛后,Collabro 以62.3%的支持率遥遥领先。在接受 ITN 电视台采访时,他们透露团名 Collabro 来自单词「Collaborate」(配合协作);而他们还有一个梦想,就是成为青少年美剧《欢乐合唱团》(Glee)的演唱嘉宾。
从初赛到决赛,Collabro 的三次演唱都赢得了四位评委和全场观众的起立鼓掌。据悉,他们即将与评委之一西蒙科威尔(Simon Cowell)的唱片公司签下生平第一个唱片合约,金额达六位数。
