Rough Copy were a British boy band from Croydon, London. The group consists of Kazeem “Bazza” Ajobo, Sterling Ramsey and Joseph “Wazza” James Thomas. They finished fourth on the tenth series of The X Factor in 2013. They originally auditioned for the ninth series in 2012 and got to the “judges' houses” stage, but were forced to back out as Nigerian-born Ajobe was unable to obtain a visa in time, which would have made it almost impossible for him to re-enter the UK.

In 2014, Rough Copy signed a record deal with Epic Records. They released their debut single “Street Love” on 29 June 2014, but were later dropped after the single failed to chart. The group later signed with EMC Records. Now signed to DeeVu Records the bands new single was due for release on the 5th October 2016. The band had failed to have a single make the UK music charts and consequently broke up in 2017.
