After the show, Bars and Melody signed a record deal with Syco Music. Their debut single "Hopeful" was released on 27 July 2014 .
Leondre ("Bars") Antonio Devries, (born 6 october 2000) is a rapper from Port Talbot, Wales and Charlie-Joe ("Melody") Lenehan-Green (born 27 October 1998) is a singer from Bristol, England. They met in September 2013 via Facebook, after Lenehan had seen many of Devries' covers as a solo rapper. Lenehan said to Devries, "Do you want to meet up?" in January 2014, so, accompanied by their parents, they met in late January and decided to form a music duo, naming themselves Bars and Melody.
