Br'oZ

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Br'oZ is a short-lived Brazilian vocal group and boy band, formed in the second season of the reality show Popstars, broadcasted by SBT in 2003. They released two albums during their career as a band, and spawned two huge hits in Brazil, Prometida (2003) and Vem Pra Minha Vida (2004).

[edit] Biography

The television show Popstars, famous for previously forming the Brazilian girl band Rouge, was directed to male public in its second season (2003). Five out of 36,000 young adult men were selected, through several tests, to form the boy band Br'oZ. Then, in 2003, they released their debut album, simply called Br'oZ, which was a huge hit: it went Gold in its first week of release, and would later receive a Platinum certification, in honour of selling over 250,000 copies in Brazil. The lead single, "Prometida", was one of the biggest hits of the 2003. In 2004, Br'oZ recorded and released their sophomore album, Segundo Ato (Second Act). Although it spawned a huge hit, "Vem Pra Minha Vida", it was by far less successful than their first album, not going even Gold. The group formally broke up in 2005; one of the vocalists, Filipe, became the lead singer of the pagode group Os Travessos. Another member, André, is currently working as a television show host. Matheus is actually performing with his rock band KM79.
