From Olympus to London: Maldivian Band ‘2 of Us’ Gets Britain’s Got Talent Invite

Rising stars from the Maldives gear up for a global spotlight

Maldivian music group ‘2 of Us’ is preparing to take the international stage after securing a coveted opportunity to audition for the upcoming 19th season of Britain’s Got Talent, one of the United Kingdom’s most prominent reality competitions.

From Online Success to the Big Stage

In a recent statement, the band confirmed they had successfully cleared the initial online audition phase, marking a major milestone in their journey. Now, the group is officially invited to travel to London for the second round of auditions, where they’ll perform live in front of the show's judges and audience.

The next round is scheduled for September 6, with high anticipation from fans both in the Maldives and abroad.

Building Momentum Through Regional Fame

The band's growing popularity isn’t by chance. Earlier this year, 2 of Us made waves by clinching third place at India’s Battle of Bands International—a regional talent show that featured musical acts from across the globe. The performance helped boost the band's visibility, opening doors to larger audiences and more prominent platforms.

Riding that momentum, the band hosted two back-to-back sold-out shows at Olympus Theatre, a rare feat for local musicians. Since then, they’ve performed at various venues around the Maldives, steadily building a loyal fanbase.

Meet the Musicians Behind the Music

The band consists of five talented members:

  • Ahmed Adhham

  • Mohamed Nasooh Bin Nasrudeen

  • Abdulla Shamrooh

  • Ahmed Jasheem

  • And the renowned guitarist Ahmed Shaheed, popularly known as Shaheed Legacy

Together, they bring a powerful blend of vocal strength, musical harmony, and stage charisma that has quickly made them one of the most talked-about bands in the Maldivian music scene.

A Proud Moment for Maldives

As 2 of Us prepares for their London audition, fans across the Maldives are cheering them on. Their journey reflects a growing confidence among local artists to take their talents to global stages. If selected, the band would not only represent their personal dreams—but also a new chapter for Maldivian music on the world stage.

So, what’s next for 2 of Us? All eyes are now on their September performance in London, as they aim to impress a new audience—and maybe, just maybe—win over the hearts of millions.
