Emblem3
Jul 22, 2013
Emblem 3 are an American hip-hop/alternative rock/reggae group from Huntington Beach, California who finished in 4th place on season 2 of The X Factor USA. They are signed with Columbia Records.
Emblem3 is originally from Washington, but moved to Huntington Beach, California. They consist of brothers Wesley and Keaton Stromberg and their friend Drew Chadwick. Unlike what people may think, they are not and don´t want to be considered a boyband. Their musical style is unique-- a mix of hip-hop, alternative rock and reggae, and they are also known for writing, arranging, composing and singing their own songs. Wesley, Keaton, and Drew also play their own instruments.
Emblem3 will release their highly anticipated debut album Nothing To Lose on July 30th. The album, executive produced by award-winning songwriter and producer Savan Kotecha (Maroon 5, Usher, One Direction) is available in deluxe and standard editions. Emblem3 co-wrote much of the album, which includes hit single "Chloe (You're The One I Want)" and features songwriting by Jack Antonoff of fun., Benji and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte and Max Martin (Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, Katy Perry). The deluxe version features four bonus tracks, including two live songs ("Jaiden" and "Reason") written exclusively by Emblem3 and recorded during the band's sold out winter headline tour earlier this year. The album will be the first release on Savan Kotecha's label imprint "Mr Kanani," through Syco Music / Columbia Records.
