Biography

Wham! was a British pop duo formed by childhood friends George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley. Embracing colorful hooks and vibrant beats, the duo rose to fame in the early 1980s with hits like "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" and "Careless Whisper." Their energetic, dance-infused sound set them apart from the synth-pop trend of the time, propelling them to international stardom.

Meeting at Bushey Meads School in Hertfordshire, England, Michael and Ridgeley formed Wham! inspired by American dance and R&B music. With a string of chart-topping singles like "Young Guns (Go for It)" and "Everything She Wants," Wham! became known for their upbeat, youthful positivity. The duo's success peaked with the release of their second album, Make It Big, before disbanding in 1986 as Michael pursued a solo career.
