JB Gill is renowned as a former member of the boy band JLS, who showcased his all singing, and all dancing talents to the world, as a semi-finalist of the X Factor. After reaching international acclaim, the award-winning artist took a break from the quartet and has since carved out an equally successful career as a presenter and small-holding farmer. With such a diverse history in the spotlight, spanning platforms and decades, JB offers a unique opportunity for event organisers. Able to host proceedings, and entertain with his number 1 singles, or act as a celebrity guest, JB is guaranteed to build the buzz at your occasion.
Making their debut on the X Factor in 2008, the boys may have come second place but came first in the eyes of the nation. Winning Best UK Newcomer and Best Song at the 2009 MOBO Awards, JB had firmly arrived on the music scene, along with his bandmates. Five UK Number 1 Singles, 10 million worldwide record sales and 1.4 million live event tickets later, JLS have earned their place in pop culture history. Known for their iconic colours, JB sported yellow for the group, which saw him stand out on all four of their UK exclusive tours. In 2013, the group disbanded for a break, until their 2020 announcement of the Beat Again Tour, a globally anticipated comeback scheduled for 2021.
A success in his own right, after securing international fame with the likes of Everybody in Love, JB embarked on his own ventures, namely in farming. Developing his own smallholding, JB has utilised his industry status to promote British bred meat, and sustainable methods, even hosting his own series aimed at educating children ‘On the Farm’. Evidently passionate about his work, JB’s presentation of the series saw it nominated for a BAFTA, and he appeared on further programmes including ‘Springwatch’ and ‘Countryfile’. In 2024, JB will be competing on Strictly Come Dancing, putting his talents as a performer to the test in the battle to claim the coveted glitterball trophy.
Having such a formidable reputation, across industries, has led JB to become highly sought after for media appearances. From presenting Songs of Praise, to starring in the reality show The Jump JB’s versatility, status and down-to-earth character lends itself to public occasions. Proving his talents can stand the test of time, in 2017 he secured the National Television Award for Best Performance for his appearance on Dance, Dance, Dance. An award-winning celebrity, who not only has an established platform, but the talents and star status to boot, JB Gill is the ideal addition to your event, no matter the occasion.
