Our hero participated in this Australian group, so you should talk about it in more detail. It's about a pop rock duo. The project gained worldwide popularity in 1997-2000. Our hero became his vocalist. The second member, Daniel Jones, played keyboards and guitar. Future colleagues met for the first time in 1992. At that time, Daniel Jones played with friends and brothers in the Red Edge team. It was in this project that our hero came as a soloist. At the audition, he performed a song called Skid Row. From that moment, the musicians began to work together. For two years, the team played compositions of other artists in pubs and clubs. In 1994, after leaving Oliver Jones, Daniel and Darren decided to join together to create their own musical project. The partners had a little experience, but they managed to create melodies based on the style of their idols of the eighties. After spending a year, this duet of unknown young people created 150 demo tapes, which included five tracks. They were sent to record companies and managers. They received a response from John Woodruff. This man, after listening to the recordings, discerned the talent and flew to Brisbane in order to invite the duet to his company under the name JWM, as well as to Rough Cut, a publishing company. In 1995, Wooddraff turned to major record companies and demanded to sign a contract with performers for New Zealand and Australia, allowing his wards to receive the title of international collective.
