About Five
Emerging onto the scene in the late 1990s, Five quickly carved out a niche with their edgy, energetic blend of pop and R&B, setting them apart from their boy band contemporaries. Formed in 1997, the original quintet – Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, Sean Conlon, J Brown, and Abz Love – quickly became a global phenomenon, selling over 20 million records worldwide. Their distinctive sound, combining catchy melodies with a more rugged, streetwise image, resonated with millions, leading to a string of chart-topping singles and platinum albums.
Their discography is a treasure trove of pop anthems, including the infectious “Keep on Movin’”, the high-energy “Everybody Get Up”, the iconic “When the Lights Go Out”, and the unforgettable “Slam Dunk (Da Funk)”. These tracks, characterised by their powerful vocals, dynamic harmonies, and memorable hooks, remain staples on pop radio and nostalgic playlists today. While the lineup has seen changes over the years, the current iteration of Five – comprising Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, and Sean Conlon – continues to deliver the same passion and stage presence that made them household names. They carry the legacy of Five forward, ensuring their classic hits are performed with all the vigour and enthusiasm fans remember and love.
