The Collective, an Australian boy band consisting of Trent Bell, Julian De Vizio, Zach Russell, Jayden Sierra and Will Singe, was formed during the fourth season of The X Factor Australia in 2012. The group initially auditioned as soloists but were later combined into a boy band by judges Ronan Keating, Guy Sebastian, Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Mel B for the home visits stage. After being named The Collective, they performed "Domino" by Jessie J during their first live show, receiving positive feedback from the judges. Following their elimination in the final of The X Factor Australia, The Collective signed with Sony Music Australia and released their debut single "Surrender", which debuted at Number 6 on the ARIA Singles Chart. Their self-titled album, The Collective, was released in December 2012 and peaked at Number 11 on the ARIA Albums Chart. In January 2013, they embarked on The X Factor Live Tour across Australia. Subsequent singles included "Another Life" (released June 28, 2013) and "Burn The Bright Lights" (released June 2, 2014). The Collective disbanded in 2015 to pursue solo careers.
