Do we need another hot British X-Factor alum on the music scene? No. No we do not. But we think you’ll be pretty thrilled that we’re introducing you to Olly Murs as this week’s Nice to Meet You. Yes, because he’s a Brit X-Factor alum, but also because he’s currently touring the US with One Direction and also because his new single, “Heart Skips a Beat” is ridiculously catchy. So get to know cutie Olly (including his correlation to Justin….Timberlake) with the Q&A below!

Tell us about your new single, “Heart Skips a Beat,” featuring Chiddy Bang.
Olly Murs: It is a feel good track with a great ska beat and is out on iTunes right now! The video is also live on Vevo and sees me playing football against five girls in the Rosebowl.

Describe the song in 3 words.
O: Upbeat, fun and feel-good.

What’s the most defining moment from your childhood?
O: Probably our family parties. New Year’s Eve was always a big occasion at home with the family. Every year we would get the karaoke machine out and I’d entertain everyone, even as a young kid.

What was the first concert you ever went to?
O: Justin Timberlake’s Justified tour in London.

O: Good one! What would you do if you weren’t making music?
O: Probably singing down the pub doing karaoke!

Got any hidden talents?
O: I can beat box!

Favorite movie and TV Show? Ready, go!
O: Movie is The Goonies — it’s just a classic movie that you never get bored of. And favorite TV show was LOST.

Do you have a celebrity crush?
O: Megan Fox is gorgeous, and Cheryl Cole is hot too!

Do you have any pets?
O: I [personally] don’t, but we have a family dog called Molly!

Cute! Are you on Twitter? We wanna follow you!
O: Yes I am! @ollyofficial. I tweet a lot on there so get following ;)

Now for the music! Check out Olly kickin’ it in the Rosebowl in the official vid for “Heart Skips a Beat” below!

And make sure to buy the single on iTunes, k? Do you like Olly? Are you gonna catch him on tour with 1D?

    I love this guy! I’ve been a fan of his for a while now and I can’t get enough of him! All I have to say really is that heart skips a beat ft. Rizzle kicks is better than the one ft. Chiddy bang.

    I know he’s only a newbie in the US but over here in the UK that song was out like… a while ago he has loads of songs now. He’s my fave male musician because he is really cool & the X Factor that year was very intense. I REALLY wanted him to win, it’s a shame he didn’t, but I’m so glad he’s come so far & is now hitting the US to dazzle them with his voice! ~Chantelle. :)
