It\u2019s official! Bailey May, known for his fondness for music after becoming one of Pinoy Big Brother\u2019s (PBB) housemates is now flying to new heights as he joins the global pop group, Now United.<\/p>\n

Bailey has been filling his Instagram account with photos and clips of his experiences with the group, but it was only this November 16 that Now United made it official on its social media accounts to have \u201cBae Bailey\u201d \u2013 the only member from the Philippines. Star Magic also shared Now United\u2019s video.<\/p>\n

The 15-year-old also posted about it, dubbing it as a \u201cdream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now United is a group formed by Simon Fuller \u2013 the mastermind behind \u201cAmerican Idol\u201d and the legendary Spice Girls.<\/p>\n

While the group is very cryptic in its approach of unveiling more about its nature, it claims to \u2018unite\u2019 different talents from 11 countries that include Brazil, Canada, Finland, India, Japan, Russia, Senegal, South Korea, United Kingdom (UK), United States of America (USA), and of course the Philippines.<\/p>\n

In its teaser, it presents itself as a crew that wishes to connect its stars to the fans \u2013 aiming for an immersive relationship especially with this generation\u2019s plethoric use of social media.<\/p>\n

Along with Bailey, his on-screen partner and co-PBB housemate Ylona Garcia, Dance Kids winner AC Bonifacio, and another Star Magic artist Jane De Leon represented the Philippines as finalists in Now United\u2019s bootcamp last August.<\/p>\n

In September, Bailey was very particular in his experience in the bootcamp. \u201cThere was a part of a dance where I really struggled on but I practiced for the whole day and when it came to the performance\/showcase, I got it right and that such a fun, motivational experience for me,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

Ylona was thankful for the opportunity to meet new people. \u201cThe bootcamp was a great avenue for me to hone my talent through the help of renowned choreographers and singing coaches in Hollywood.\u201d<\/p>\n

AC, on the other hand, said, \u201cThe best thing about Now United is that all of us from around the world get to connect and relate through dance and singing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Star Magic will still co-manage Bailey even though he is now joining another group.<\/p>\n

Bailey is the 11th member to be bared, three more names will be announced to complete the 14-member group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
