The X Factor Arabia

In 2015, Kazem Chamas, Ahmed Hassan and Adil Echbiy auditioned as solo candidates for the fourth series of the Arabic televised singing competition The X Factor Arabia, whereas Said Karmouz and Mohamed Bouhezza (aka BMd) auditioned together. They were put together to form a five-piece boy band in Beirut, Lebanon, thus qualifying for the "Groups" category. Elissa and Donia Samir Ghanem, their future mentor, have both come up with the idea of forming the band. They reached the finals and ended up as third (Groups catgeory) losing to Hamza Hawsawi (International Solo category) and Hind Ziadi (Arab Solo category) on June 13, 2015.

After break-up

The band broke up in 2019. The Egyptian Ahmed Hasan even while with the band played the odd solo acoustic gig in a few Cairo venues. His official debut solo single was "Garah Eh" (meaning What Happened?) followed by "Hayaty Ahla" (meaning My Life is Better).

The Algerian BmD

Echbiy went solo releasing his debut single "Sem3i".
