జీవిత చరిత్ర
Emblem3 is an all-male group from Huntington Beach, California, consisting of Drew Chadwick on lead guitar and vocals, Wesley Stromberg on rhythm guitar and vocals, and Keaton Stromberg on bass and vocals. They joined The X Factor (2011) season 2, where they performed their original song, "Sunset Boulevard", during the audition. The group made it to the live show, as part of the top 16, under judge Simon Cowell's team. They were in the top 6 on "The X Factor" and placed in third place. After "The X Factor," they signed with SYCO Records and Columbia Records, Simon Cowell's record label. In April, 2013, Emblem3 released their first single, "Chloe (You're the One I Want)," which sold 35,000 digital downloads in its first two weeks and reached the Billboard Hot 100 at 93. The single became the fourth track on their debut album - released in July, 2013 - "Nothing To Lose," which sold 46,000 in its first week. Getting mixed reviews, the album placed #7 on the US Billboard 200. A month after the album's release, Emblem3 became Selena Gomez's opening act on her Stars Dance Tour. In December, 2013, the group announced their first national tour after having a homecoming performance on "The X Factor USA" by performing their song "Just For One Day." In May, 2014, Emblem3's label, SYCO Records, dropped them, turning the tables for the group. In June, 2014, the band released their first independent EP that was titled "Songs From the Couch Vol. 1." A few weeks after the EP's release, Emblem3's member Drew Chadwick announced that he would be leaving the band to pursue a solo career. In October, 2014, Emblem3 released a self-titled EP called "Forever Together." The duo toured again and then went silent on social media for several months until both Wesley and Keaton announced solo projects that were in the works, leaving Emblem3 on hiatus. Emblem3 isn't officially over, but within the same month, Keaton Stromberg formed a new band that released a single, "Never Getting Older" and Wesley Stromberg collaborated with friend Kenny Holland and released a single, "Fire."
