Singer Oritsé Williams has opened up about making the transition from JLS member to solo artist and admitted that it's very different, but he is embracing the freedom. 

Speaking to MarkMeets, the star explained that it's strange to be stepping out on his own, but really exciting at the same time: "It’s total different process to the group, we were doing lots of dance routines and were really selling the sound and image as such."

"I’m just being myself, just being really chilled and relaxed about it, just going into the studio and making music that I’m passionate about, and like you know making records that are just very personal, a lot of true life stories, you’ll be able to hear through the music and the fans will be about to get to know who I am as a person, they will be able to get close to me through my music".

He went onto add that being on stage now without the other members of JLS is something he'll have to get used to: "Being on stage is also a very different thing, like I have my live instrumentalist on stage with me, when I did my first debut show which was sold out."

"I was performing songs which nobody has ever heard before, and that’s different because normally people would come to our shows and already know the songs and heard the songs and singing them back to us, but they hadn’t ever heard these songs so it was nice just to perform them and watch them just be there and listening and really enjoying themselves and listening to the songs and the lyrics and hopefully learning a lot of me, and feel like they are closer to me through my music."
