Discovered by Taiwanese artist and producer David Tao during a performance in Los Angeles, they were signed by EMI Taiwan and became one of the first Asian-American groups to break into the Taiwanese music scene. Their debut album, "Smart" (2001), was a major success, selling over 200,000 copies quickly and setting a record for highest first-week album sales at the time. Following their debut, they released the albums "Gotta Be Your Man" in 2003 and "Planet Love," earning accolades such as Best Album and Best Hit Single at Singapore awards and a nomination for Best Group at the Golden Melody Awards. The group also participated in charitable events and had endorsements with brands like Doritos and PH Land.
