Michele Amabile Angermiller “American Idol” creator Simon Fuller has unveiled “the first group ever to be born on TikTok.”The Future X is made up of three singers and four dancers, each discovered on the social media platform.
All seven members — Angie Green, Luke Brown, and Maci Wood plus dancers Jayna Hughes, Sasha Marie, Tray Taylor and Drew Venegas — auditioned last fall by posting a video of themselves on TikTok using the hashtag #NextInMusic.
From the more than 300 million views generated from the hashtag, Fuller was able to cull an impressive shortlist from which the final seven group members were chosen.
The entire process can be viewed online at the group’s hub on TikTok here and following @thefuturexofficial. The group members are now living together in Malibu, where they are currently recording new music ahead of the Future X’s first live performances, beginning in March 2022.
