If you ever needed proof the “invisible string” theory is real, look no further than the Full Circle Boys. Growing up in the world of competitive dance across the West Coast, members Jagger Moon, James Herron, Sean Garrity, Dossan Bell and Oliver Hincy were connected long before they realized it. In late 2024, they began a new chapter together with their eyes set on renewing the image of a classic American boy group.
Fusing their expertise in striking choreography with impactful pop R&B vocals, the group went on to release their first two EPs, Jeté and Plié, last year. Of course, they’ve never walked through it alone without their devoted fans, or Infinities, by their side. From high school performances to dance competition tours, the boys have gone on to grow a global fanbase by doing what they love most.
Now based in L.A., the quintet bring a refreshing presence to the music industry by showing what modern-day artists can look like on their own terms. Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of catching up with the Full Circle Boys via Zoom on the making of their latest single, “BLEACHERS” and all the exciting projects they have in store for the rest of 2026. Read our exclusive interview with the group below.
Sweety High: If you could describe yourself with one song right now, what would it be and why?
Sean Garrity: The one song that describes me right now is “FREE99,” because I’m balling on a budget.
Oliver Hincy: I don’t know why this came to mind, but as soon as you said what song would you be right now, I thought of “High Grace” by Donna Fike.
Dossan Bell: I might have to say “what’s wrong with me” by Olivia Rodrigo. Not that I’m like, “something’s wrong with me,” but sometimes I be feeling that. Like, is there something wrong with me? It’s just so good, that’s my favorite song on the album.
James Herron: I think a song that best describes me right now, I think it’s called “Pocketful of Sunshine.” It’s just good vibes, you know.
Jagger Moon: The song describing me is probably the, “Bow, chicka, bow-wow. That’s what my baby says, mow, mow, mow, and my heart starts pumping.” Because it’s summer, so I’m feeling Phineas and Ferb.

SH: How did you use fashion and styling in “BLEACHERS” to help tell the group’s story/identity?
OH: I know for me, I didn’t want to use jerseys. That was one thing that I was like, “Oh, that’s so on the nose.” I don’t want to do that exactly, I just wanted to kind of be fun. I also love taking inspiration from K-pop because I feel like this song was very much like a K-pop song.
DB: We actually filmed it at the place where Sean’s dad was a principal of. The kids were actually just getting right out of school and we were setting up in the gym. So, very much like the vibes did give High School Musical. I think the way [creative director] Keone shot the music video too, he kept it very playful and moving so it just feels like lots of energy.

SH: What was it like reuniting with the Choreo Cookies Dance Team for the “BLEACHERS” music video?
OH: We’re pretty much like, we’re friends with them, you know? Going into it, we were just all like, “Hey, what’s up!” We picked that connection up right away.
JH: I kind of feel like we’re honorary members. I want to say that, but they’re cool. They’re too cool for us.
JM: When we filmed “BLEACHERS” with them, it was pretty much on the one-year anniversary of when we met them. So it was really cool.
SH: What was the funniest moment behind the scenes while filming “BLEACHERS”?
JM: We were filming the last chorus and the choreographers were out in the field. And then Dossan just disappeared for a little bit and we’re like, “Where’s Dossan?” We’re still filming, and then Dossan had just bought… do you remember those hoverboards back in 2015 that were really popular and blowing up? Literally blowing up, like catching on fire.
JH: Oh my god. [Entire group laughs.]
JM: His hoverboard lights up. So we just see these rainbow lights coming down and towards the field. Everyone’s like, “Bro, where were you?” That was probably the best moment just because he was so dumbstruck.
DB: Yeah, I don’t know what I was thinking. I was like, “Oh, we’re done.” Then I just got the hoverboard out of my trunk and came down the little island. I was like, big old smiley.
SH: Y’all should have put that in the video though, like…
JM: Dude, we should have. If you pause the video, I think it’s somewhere in the background.
DB: Yeah, you’ll probably find it. Just like under one of the little seats, little benches. But if you want to hoverboard, you just go on Facebook and get them for 20 bucks. Or just come down and we can hoverboard together.
SH: Your last two EPs, Jeté and Plié, are both named after dance terms. Can fans expect that theme to continue?
Full Circle Boys: Nope, we’re done.
SG: Conceptually, we thought we were gonna do three pieces but we ended up going a different route. So it was gonna be Jeté, Plié. And I remember another name that we liked was Degagé.
JM: I was gonna say Battement was the main one though, Keone really liked Battement. I remember we were like, it kind of looks weird. Not that Jeté and Plié aren’t, but Battement is spelled very differently than how it’s pronounced. And Keone’s like, “Doesn’t matter.” We’re like, “Okay.” But then it ended up not being that, and now it’s become something else.

SH: Storytelling is a big part of Full Circle Boys. What’s a music video concept you’d love to try next?
SG: Ooh, I want to do one where we’re skydiving. Then as we’re skydiving, there’s a skydive choreo where we connect with each other. That would be dope.
JM: I love this idea of having us at a lemonade stand or something. Across the street is a bunch of girl scouts, and we’re competing trying to sell things. The girl scouts are really mean for no reason, and then we’re getting into beef. We’re trying to walk across the street but every time we try, cars are flying past so we can’t get to the other side and we’re doing choreo dodging them. In my brain for some weird reason, the inflatable blowup guys are in it.
OH: Honestly Malcolm Todd’s videos, like his older videos where they were just super bad green screens. I love that vibe, it’s so fun. I would love to get into that.
SH: How did it feel performing at the Ovation Dance Tour and returning to your competitive dance roots as a group?
SG: I feel like we never leave the dance company. Every time we think we’re about to say goodbye, we always hop on another day. This last stop that we just did in June was super fun. It was a connection of three massive competitions, so it was crazy big. It was cool to meet all the Dancing with the Stars people and some of the other dance celebrities that were there. Big shout out to Derek Hough for bringing us on and really embracing us.
OH: This would’ve been my last year of competitive dancing, so I saw a lot of people I used to grow up dancing with. It was really cool to get those connections back and talk to them, kind of live out your season.
JM: Sometimes when we go to a show that’s just for us, I feel a little off put just because I’m not used to something like that. But then on an Ovation stage, it just feels insanely natural and comfortable. I’m like, oh yeah, I’m competing for platinum right now.
JH: I feel like it was kind of the opposite for me. Because we were performing in front of all these big choreographers, especially growing up and watching them on social media. It just felt a bit more nerve-wracking, but I cared about it. Overall, I think it was a lot more fun than it would have been if I was competing because I was just there to have fun and perform.
SH: How has your relationship with live performing changed since your first gig?
OH: Our first gig was a vivid memory for me. I just remember I was trying to sing “Snooze” by SZA. I mean, just so bad. The frequencies were just going crazy, so there was a ton of feedback. It was just so embarrassing. But no, it’s gotten so much better.
JM: What’s funny about our first time performing all together, it was at an all-girls Catholic school. We’re not doing any original songs, they’re all covers. So now, it’s been great to transition from doing just covers to now every time we perform just original music.
DB: One thing that I think I’ve learned mentally is that no matter how many performances I do, I’ll always be nervous. So I just learn to embrace that and be like, I’m nervous. Let’s go, let’s have fun.
OH: What did Keone say about nerves? It turns into excitement as soon as you get on stage. Nerves are good, because it means you care. Boom.
SH: You’ve mentioned other boy groups like NSYNC and BTS as sources of inspiration, but are there any female artists you also look up to?
OH: Me and Dossan saw a show, her name’s Naomi Scott. She was incredible, like me and Dossan were starstruck after that.
DB: She just played the part. I was like, “Is this what it felt for someone to be at a Michael Jackson show?” That’s just what I kept thinking, because obviously Michael was so captivating and I was so captivated.
JM: I’ve been saying this for years, and I think the new album really solidifies it. Olivia Rodrigo is the best writer of this generation. She said something the other day where she was like, “All my love songs on the album are kind of melancholic and have a little touch of sadness in it.” I thought, “I’m gonna try and do that,” so her writing definitely influences me in that way.
JH: I grew up listening to Adele, so that’s one of them. And then Lady Gaga, I feel like she’s a star. I just love the way she puts herself out there and she’s not afraid of anything.
SG: We have a board in here with all the people we want to work with in the music community. Jesse Thomas, Sarah Aarons, Amy Allen, and there’s an artist. She goes by Becky and the Birds, but her real name’s Thea. Put Emory in there, too.
JM: Obviously, the women are destroying it. All the main pop stars in the world right now are female, so it’s hard not to take inspiration from them. Plus, they’re also insanely talented.
OH: And they’re so beautiful. So beautiful.

SH: What’s the biggest thing Infinities can look forward to from Full Circle Boys this year?
JM: Just music, because you need to hear this. You gotta hear what we’re working on. The visuals are gonna be crazy too.
OH: I’m really excited about what we’re about to feed the Infinities, I can’t lie. Because like…
SG: They’re gonna be full.

SH: If you could place one Full Circle Boys song in a movie or TV show, which would you choose and why?
OH: I would say, I feel like “FREE99” would go hard in a Disney show or something.
DB: Maybe there’s like a Mission Impossible or James Bond scene. “M80” comes on and it’s like, “I’m ready for that tick-tick boom.”
JM: I think “GAVE MY ALL” could be towards the end of a season of Off Campus when they break up, or The Bachelor.
SG: “Call My Name” could be in Finding Dory, because she always forgets the names.
SH: Lastly, is there anything else you want the fans to know that we didn’t ask about?
JM: For July 21, if anybody’s in California that wants to come watch us perform, we’ll be performing two songs and the national anthem. We got the O.C. Fair in August. Then, we have another show on August 21 and 22 in Utah called Dancing Under the Stars.
SG: We do have another performance this Friday at another baseball game at the 66ers in San Bernardino.
JM: We are about to be really busy for the next couple… oh wait, no, World of Dance! Yeah, we’re performing at the World of Dance Finals on July 9. Then it’s Oliver’s birthday, July 10. Last but not least, we have a lot coming up the next two weeks that we’re finishing up for all the fans. So just be on the lookout, because stuff’s about to get real.
