Bro'Sis, a pop/R&B group from Germany, were the result of the 2001 season of the international television sensation Popstars in a precursor to the Idol shows. In early 2006 the band announced they would no longer perform together, instead pursuing individual careers in music, theater and television.

[edit] Musical career
The original cast included Hila Bronstein, Shaham Joyce, Ross Antony, Giovanni Zarrella, Faiz Magnat and Verena "Indira" Weis.
Unlike the first season's winner, the No Angels, Bro'sis never saw constant success with their R&B and Soul inspired Pop music. Nevertheless they achieved big fame with their debut single "I Believe", which sold more than over 1,5 million copies in its first week and remained #1 in Germany for almost two months. Their debut album "Never Forget", produced by known german producers including Alex Christensen, Tony Cottura, Thorsten Brötzmann, Syndicate Music and Marc Mozart was a bestseller and sprouted the follow up singles "Do You" and "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel". One year later the group re-released their first CD with new tracks including the fourth single "Hot Temptation" and "The Gift", a cover of the 98 Degrees christmas single.
With Indira's left in May 2003, the hype around the band left, too. Although the first single release of the second album, "Oh No / Never Stop", charted on position #7 in Germany, the album "Days Of Our Lives" was not a commercial success.
After a long absence from the charts Bro'Sis returned one year later in (June 2004) with "U Build Me Up". The group's eighth single didn't sell that good, too, but like the associated album "Showtime" (#24 on the charts), it was highly praised for its less-mainstream, more edgier arranged music. Unfortunately no another single was picked after separating from their first record company.
Afterwards the group announced an official break and members focused on different projects: Giovanni married actress and model Jana Ina, Ross returned to musicals with a role in "Elisabeth", Hila's recording her first solo effort and Faiz released his first solo single "Dance Little Sister", a minor succeeded cover of the former Terence D'Arby-hit. Two years later the band announced their official split in early 2006 - due to increasing musical differences.
