Simon Cowell is embarking on a new phase in his career, focusing on the future rather than dwelling on the past, as shared by his latest music proteges. The English-Irish boy band, December 10, formed on Cowell’s Netflix show, The Next Act, discussed the guidance they have received from the music mogul and how it differs from his approach with launching One Direction.

Consisting of Cruz Lee-Ojo, Danny Bretherton, Hendrik Christoffersen, John Fadare, Josh Olliver, Nicolas Alves, and Sean Hayden, the band released their debut single, “Run My Way,” in late January, which reached number 72 on the UK singles chart. When asked about working with Cowell outside the Co-op Arena, the group expressed admiration for his legendary status and the valuable wisdom and experience he has shared with them.

The band members acknowledged Cowell’s continuous support and advice, emphasizing his counsel on humility and respect in all interactions. Reflecting on their aspirations, December 10 expressed admiration for Harry Styles’ successful career and the opportunity to follow in his footsteps.

Regarding Cowell’s management style, the group mentioned that he has not drawn parallels between managing One Direction and their band. December 10 remarked that Cowell is focused on this new chapter in his career, preferring to move forward rather than dwell on past successes.

In a previous interview, Cowell revealed that he formed December 10 due to his longing for the excitement of managing a boy band, following his successful ventures with artists like Leona Lewis, Little Mix, Susan Boyle, and One Direction. He described his decision as a desire for new challenges and exhilarating experiences.
