2 Be 3

French boy band formed by Frank Delhaye, Filip Nikolic & Adel Kachermi, which started off using the name "To Be Free". They were contracted by EMI Records France after being noticed at a model contest on the French TV-channel TF1. The band consisted of three friends who initially met during secondary school. In 1999 they left the United States with the idea of releasing an album in English. In 2000 they released their unsuccessful ''Made In America'' album. The three childhood friends decide to separate in 2001. Frank Delay is now an actor, a hit for several months in a theater play called "Hello Drunkenness". Filip Nikolic died of heart failure on September 16, 2009 at the age of 35. Adel Kachermi is now a representative for Skyjet, an airline group's subsidiary company Bombardier, and created his own company in the event-driven hyper luxury Akcess.
