They released a self-titled album in 2010, achieving limited success. Regardless, Matt’s net worth was established.

Later in 2010, Cardle auditioned for “The X Factor’s” seventh season, and advanced to the boot-camp stage of the popular British reality television music competition after performing Amy Winehouse’s “You Know I’m No Good”, and then “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”.
