He is best known for being the frontman of the pop rock group The 1975 – first formed in 2002.
The band consists of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Healy, lead guitarist Adam Hahn, bassist Ross McDonald, and drummer George Daniel.
The band members first met in middle school, where they performed together as teenagers.
In 2013, the band released their self-titled debut album, The 1975, which reached number one in the UK charts and included the popular singles Sex, Chocolate and Robbers.
