Every artist has their own way of getting into the music industry, and for Olly Murs it was a rather odd series of events that lead him to audition for The X-Factor in the UK. Olly had originally planned to be a soccer player (or a footballer to non-Americans) before a knee injury broke his dreams and he traveled to Australia. But it was when he got back from that trip that things started falling in place for him.
"There were so many superstitious things that actually should have never happened," Olly admitted to AOL In House.
Upon returning from his trip to Australia, Olly met a girl.
"She told me her mom had a premonition that this guy that she knew would be on The X-Factor," Olly continued. "She gave me these beads to wear and said I've got to wear them."
"I wore them through all my audition, got through, everything she said came true. And then when I came off the show and got signed, these beads completely snapped off my arm!"
Well we're certainly glad Olly decided to go for it on The X-Factor !
