Deeply inspired by iconic and forward-thinking entertainers Justin Timberlake and Michael Jackson, UK pop star Olly Murs takes his craft very seriously. After years of hard work and tremendous success across the pond, Murs comes to the United States to finally tell his story on the highly anticipated Right Place Right Time, his third album and first North American release. How, exactly, did the entertainer and avid beatboxer discover his singing abilities? Through connecting with small audiences during nights of karaoke glory, that's how.

Hailing from tiny Withan, Essex, the former semi-pro soccer player has made quite a name for himself; his UK debut, which went double platinum on the strength of the smash "Please Don't Let Me Go" was followed up by sophomore LP, the coyly titled In Case You Didn't Know. Preceded by two chart-topping singles, it became Murs' first #1 album in the UK and would go on to double platinum sales. ĞLess
