The band's act consisted of singing operatic versions of contemporary songs, including "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Creep" and "Everybody Hurts", and arrangements of popular operatic pieces, such as "Nessun Dorma", and "La donna è mobile".
Naturally gifted performers who were formally trained at the Guildhall School of Music, G4 originally met as a busking group who sang live across London to earn money and experience. Jon saw an advert for the X-Factor auditions and applied on a whim. They delivered great performances and wowed a captivated audience week after week, and the rest is history.
Following a spectacular rise to fame, their hugely successful debut album " G4" entered the UK album charts at Number 1, selling an amazing 245,000 in its first week alone. It has since been certified double platinum and has now sold in excess of 700,000 copies.

G4 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And in the hustle and bustle, no sunshine appears
But you and I have our love always there to remind us
There is a way we can leave all the shadows behind us
Volare, oh, oh! Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Let's fly way up to the clouds, away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Just like birds of a feather a rainbow together we'll find
Volare, oh, oh! Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Your love has given me wings
In G4's song Volare, the lyrics delve into the struggles and sorrows that often come with living, referring to the world as a "valley of heartaches and tears" filled with shadows and confusion. Despite this, the song emphasizes the strength of the love shared between two individuals, acknowledging how it serves as a reminder that there is always a way out of the darkness. Volare, which translates to "to fly" in Italian, encourages the listeners to transcend above the madness and chaos of society and find solace in each other's company, "flying way up to the clouds, away from the maddening crowds."
