In case you need a little refresh, the boys got their start as a band in the Spanish language singing competition reality show La Banda. The series was created by Ricky Martin who’s a judge on the show and Simon Cowell and the boys won a five-year recording contract with Sony Music Latin. Moreover, the band won Latin Pop Artist of the Year at the 2019 Billboard Latin Music Awards.
