Emblem3.

Emblem3 consists of 3 members Drew Chadwick, Keaton Stromberg, and Wesley Stromberg. Also two friends play the drums, keyboard and saxophone, Kyle and Kenny. Keaton and Wesley are brothers and Drew is basically the 'red headed stepchild' that they keep under the stairs. Drew and Wesley actually used to not like each other because they would always have the same taste in girls and would compete at everything. One night at a party Wesley heard Drew playing a song and said that they should jam sometime. So even though they didn't like each other in the beginning music basically started their friendship. When they were trying to figure out a name for the band they wanted it to mean something. Like emblem could stand for anything important and 3 could stand for the members or again anything important. It just really depends on who you are, the band name could mean many different things to different people. 


Emblem3 auditioned for the X-factor's second season and made it all the way to fourth place. When they auditioned they sang an original song which was amazing! LA Reid said that it was pretty risky but in the end it paid off. Everyone fell in love with them from the start but they also started comparing them to boy bands like One Direction. Emblem3 said "We are not a boy band we write our own music and have our own sound."  Which they do, they have their own original sound that sounds like no other band I've listened too. During the Semi-finale on the X-factor Emblem3 got sent home but soon after they tweeted "I can't wait to start making music again." Just a few weeks ago X-factor judge and record label owner Simon Cowell signed Emblem3 to his record label. 

This is the song they auditioned with for The X-Factor.
