People have already shortened it to D10 because of course they have.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1479\" data-end=\"1788\">He\u2019s considered one of the older lads in the band at 19, and that little bit of extra life experience, plus his performance background gives him a quietly confident vibe onscreen, think calm, slightly sensible older brother energy, but still very much a chaos-with-the-boys merchant when they\u2019re together.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1479\" data-end=\"1788\">Speaking in episode four, Sean said: &#8220;You have to have a bit of self-confidence. The competition is so high, if you&#8217;re not believing in yourself, who are you believing in? If you&#8217;re thinking &#8216;I might go home today&#8217;, you might go home!&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1790\" data-end=\"1827\">How Sean\u2019s singing dream started<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF;

And, with their encouragement, he ended up in serious musical circles surprisingly young.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2235\" data-end=\"2629\">He joined a choir and went on to sing soprano for the Irish National Opera in Dublin. Yes, that boy you\u2019re watching on Netflix used to hit the very high notes in full classical mode!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2235\" data-end=\"2629\">That training meant learning discipline, blending with other voices and performing in big venues.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2631\" data-end=\"3013\">The big plot twist? Sean only auditioned for <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2025\/12\/17\/lauren-silverman-has-another-kid-who-didnt-appear-on-the-next-act-so-who-are-they\/\">The Next Act<\/a> because his mum put his name down when she saw the casting call.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2631\" data-end=\"3013\">He\u2019s talked about going along mostly to make her proud, not really expecting anything. Then suddenly, he\u2019s one of seven boys Simon chooses out of more than a thousand hopefuls. On the show, Sean comes across as genuinely grateful but quietly ambitious.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2631\" data-end=\"3013\">He credits <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2025\/12\/17\/debunked-does-simon-cowells-son-eric-have-a-chronic-illness\/\">Simon Cowell<\/a> with teaching them little pro tricks, like always shaking everyone\u2019s hand and making eye contact when you walk into a room. He says he trusts Simon\u2019s big vision for the band even if the boys can\u2019t fully see it yet.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3400\" data-end=\"3668\">What does he want next? Not just fame and bangers. Sean&#8217;s reportedly said he hopes the band stay close, &#8220;become best mates,&#8221; and end up being best men at each other\u2019s weddings, which is very wholesome.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3670\" data-end=\"3891\">So if you\u2019re picking a fave December 10 member, Sean is the one for you if you like golden-retriever energy, serious pipes, and a backstory that started in a Dublin choir loft and somehow landed on a Netflix global stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates \u2013 like\u00a0<\/i><a
