Band History

Xy Latu and Jesse Tolo paepae first appeared as a solo singer in the night clubs of their hometown of Brisbane on and competed in vocal competitions. When she in 2002 on such an occasion for the second time met, they decided together under the name of Rough Diamonds to make music. Latu started as a teenager with the singing, Tolo paepae is the son of a pastor and sang in the youth in the church. The musical roots of the brothers TJ and Wayne Tauvao and her cousin Donald are in the Sunday church singing. They later formed the R & B trio 315 Both groups have in common is that they were allowed to occur at a performance by K- Ci & JoJo in Brisbane in the opening act of 2004.

When in 2005 the British talent show The X Factor format should also start with Network Ten in Australia, who applied the Rough Diamonds and TJ Tauvao who originally wanted to compete alone. Even while queuing for participation, they decided to come together as a five -piece band under the name Random. You have been accepted as one of the five candidates in the category Music Group for the competition and were sure all rounds to the finals. There they ultimately prevailed against Russell Gooley as the winner by.

In the final, she sang the song Put Your Hands Up, which was subsequently released by Sony BMG and reached the top ten of the Australian charts. Then they were allowed to go as support act with Boyz II Men on a tour of Australia and New Zealand. They recorded their debut album with the band name as the title, which was released on 10 October 2005. While the first single Are You Ready still came in at number 36, the album failed to make the leap into the top 50 of the charts. For random, there was then no more and The X Factor was discontinued at least for the following years of success, because the rate expectations had not been met.
