Moorhouse were a four-member New Zealand male R&B vocal group consisting of members Rory McKenna, Brock Ashby, Jason Aileone and Marley Sola Wilcox-Nanai. They auditioned for Series 1 of The X Factor New Zealand and made it all the way to the semi final as part of the Groups category mentored by Melanie Blatt.
Due to the eliminations of L.O.V.E and Gap5, Moorhouse were the only act left in their category. They were eliminated in the semi final, finishing in 4th place after receiving the fewest public votes.
