Moorhouse was formed in Christchurch in mid-2012, originally with the line-up of Rory McKenna, Brock Ashby, Jason Aileone and Rameka Uitime-Paraki and eventually made a quintet by the addition of Marley Sola Wilcox-Nanai. The group took their name from their rehearsal studio's location on Moorhouse Avenue, one of the "four avenues" surrounding Christchurch's city centre. The group became known online for their covers of songs uploaded to YouTube.[citation needed] In September 2012 the original quartet performed on TVNZ shows The Erin Simpson Show What Now and Good Morning.[citation needed] In October they won a Mai FM competition to perform as the opening act for Jay Sean's Auckland show.[citation needed] In 2012 Moorhouse met with an A&R representative from Sony Music New Zealand, but nothing eventuated.[5] The group performed at the Parachute music festival in January 2013.[6]
The X Factoredit
Moorhouse initially attended the Hamilton pre-audition on 29 January 2013, as they were in town for the Parachute music festival.[citation needed] From there were put through to the judges' auditions. At their judges' audition, they performed an a cappella version of Justin Bieber's "As Long as You Love Me". Moorhouse originally auditioned as a five-piece group, but before the bootcamp round, fifth member Rameka left to pursue an opportunity in rugby.[citation needed] Moorhouse competed in the Groups category and were mentored by former All Saints singer Melanie Blatt. Moorhouse were in the bottom two only once, winning the sing-off against hip hop duo L.O.V.E in week three. Moorhouse were eliminated in the semi-final, immediately voted off with the lowest public votes.[7]
Post-The X Factoredit
After The X Factor, Sony Music New Zealand signed Moorhouse in August 2013. Moorhouse's debut single "Mama Said", which had originally been recorded as their potential The X Factor winner's single, was released digitally on 23 August 2013.[8][9]
In 2014, Moorhouse released their second single "Take a Picture", which saw the return of Rameka Uitime-Paraki to the group.[citation needed] A music video accompanied the single soon after. Later in the year they released their third single, "Somebody Loves You", followed by their self-titled debut album Moorhouse.[11] Despite their debut single charting at # 8 in the New Zealand singles chart, neither of their subsequent singles nor their album charted. In February 2015, Moorhouse announced via social media that they had broken up.[citation needed]
