Boy Band's In Real Life Talk One Direction: 'They Were the Biggest'

In Real Life is opening up about how much One Direction inspires them!

The five winners of ABC’s Boy BandSergio Calderon, Michael Conor, Chance Perez, Andrew Ramos, and Brady Tutton – got candid in a new interview with People.

“I think for this generation, obviously the band that we all look up to is One Direction,” Michael said. “They were the biggest. They were known globally and they sold so many records and I think that their impact on this generation is something that we admire and we want to emulate with our music.”

“Not to mention the fact that they also came from reality TV,” Chance chimed in. “So we have a lot in common.”

“I feel like we are trying to be ourselves,” Brady clarified. “We’re not really trying to be like One Direction per se. But they are a very successful boy band. They make great music and they’re all really just nice guys in general. So I think that just them as people would be something to model after.”

In Real Life‘s first single “Eyes Closed” is out now. See how they recently took over New York City’s Times Square with their music video!
