- James Elliot Bourne (Born 13 September 1983, Rochford Essex in the UK) first found fame with the English Pop Rock band Busted alongside Matt Willis and future Fightstar front man Charlie Simpson. From 2001 to 2005 the band managed to achieve 4 chart-topping singles, 2 successful albums and uncountable sell-out tours. The success was cut short however, as the band decided to call it quits when Simpson left the band in favor of his own band Fightstar. Whilst Willis embarked on a sole career, Bourne attempted to re-achieve what he did with Busted and founded a new similar band, Son of Dork. However, after the band's debut album 'Welcome to Loserville' was released the group began to disappear from the limelight. Mid-way through writing a second album, Son of Dork disbanded due to lack of interest of band members and possibly the general public itself. Bourne spent most of 2008 to 2010 writing for upcoming American artists such as All-Star and Miranda Cosgrove until finally beginning a solo project. Under the name Future Boy, Bourne dropped his Pop Rock image to pursue a more mature electronic sound and has released his first volume of songs via his website.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Anonymous
