Parva released one studio album, 22, in 2003, before they renamed themselves as the Kaiser Chiefs. With Wilson as lead vocalist, the indie rock band's original line-up also comprised guitarist Andrew 'Whitey' White, bassist Simon Rix, keyboardist Nick 'Peanut' and drummer Nick Hodgson. Vijay Mistry replaced Hodgson in 2013. The Kaiser Chiefs released their first album, Employment, in 2005, and it went on to sell more than three million copies. The band continues to release albums and tour around the world. In January 2014, Wilson became a coach on the third series of The Voice UK, joining will.i.am, Tom Jones and Kylie Minogue.
