What started out as three friends coming together for their love for music has turned into a global success. 

From chart-topping hits to putting up insane performances globally, they are taking the world by storm.

Did you know their hit song ‘Piece of Your Heart’ almost didn’t get released?

They felt discouraged after everything they played for a record label in London was rejected. 

‘Piece of Your Heart’ was the last demo on the list.

“We didn’t even want to play the demo… Luca (groupmate) didn’t want to play it because it was just a 10-minute rough demo. But who cares, one more ‘no’ doesn’t change our lives… Then the manager just started jumping on the sofa. They said this was going to change our lives.”
