BARS AND MELODY

Bars and Melody (B.A.M.) are a British singing/rapping duo consisting of rapper Leondre "Bars" Devries and singer Charlie "Melody" Lenehan. They took part in the eighth series of Britain's Got Talent in 2014. During their audition, they were automatically sent into the semifinals of the competition after the head judge, Simon Cowell, pressed the "golden buzzer." They ultimately finished in third place in the series.

After the show, Bars and Melody signed a record deal with Syco Music. Their debut single, "Hopeful", was released on 25 July 2014 and peaked at number five on the UK Singles Chart. They brought out a new song, "Shining Star", on 30 July 2014; this was an extra to their acoustic version of the song "Hopeful". Bars and Melody released their debut studio album 143 on 21 August 2015. It debuted at number four in the UK. One year later, their EP Team Spirit was released. They refer to their fans as "Bambinos."

They have appeared in the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, mainland Europe, and Australia.
