The Wanted, a boys band from the UK, is considered to be one of the biggest new discoveries in the music industry. The teenage girls love One Direction (especially Harry Styles), and the lads have been breaking all kinds of records, but The Wanted are appealing to the whole another audience – grown up gals (and fellas) who appreciate top-quality pop music with a little bit of electro and a little bit of rock. If you’re a fan of those high-tempo, feel-good tunes with the kick and snare banging, this band will most definitely become one of your favorites. Oh, you already love it? Great, then let’s check out some interesting facts about Tom Parker, one of the brightest members of the group.
– Alright, so, Mr. Parker was born on August 4, 1988. His hometown is Tonge Moor, Bolton (the United Kingdom). Tom Parker is his real name, not a stage “nickname”.
– Interesting facts about Tom Parker. His hair color is brown (that’s a really important piece of information for the ladies), his star sign is Leo, he likes his tea with 2 sugars, he has hazel eyes, and he has one sibling – a brother (his name is Lewis).
– When the future superstar first took his bro’s guitar in his hands, he instantly fell in love with it and decided he had to master it no matter what it took. He was 16 years old back then. So, yeah – he’s your regular, normal British kid who had a dream, tons of motivation, and, of course, talent.
