About Me
Before a1 became the BIGGEST band act in the universe, an audition attracted Mark, Chrsitian and Paul, who was then busy working in dance clubs in Spain
Ben, who was awaiting the same opportunity to show his stuff (and his face, haha!), was pulled by Mark to join them.
1999 was the year a1 first conquered the world - and our hearts - with the anthemic debut single, Be the First Believe, entering the U.K. charts at number 6.
Swiftly following it up with Top 5 hit, Summertime Of Our Lives, it pretty much brightened up everyone's overcast August.
The stunning double A-side that was Everytime/Ready Or Not came next and scored them a Number 3 smash.
They have had a Valentine's single called Like A Rose which was written by Ben - which secured their fourth top six hit and the No. 1 smash Take On me, a cover version of A-Ha's classic.
With their ambition and determination to be popstars, they've faithfully done their obligations to their fans around the world.
In 2001 they toured Asia, where they were well-received. The music video for their single "No More" was filmed in Singapore.
Their third album, Make It Good, featured a sound closer to traditional rock music, but was to be their last studio project.On October 8, 2002 Paul Marazzi left the band citing personal reasons, and the guys decided to pursue their carrers with solo projects.
They released a Best Of album in January 2004 which featured previously unreleased concert recordings, their singles, and two unreleased studio recordings.
Ben Adams released the solo single, "Sorry", which reached ..18 in the UK Singles Chart in April 2005.
Christian has since made it big back in his home country of Norway and Mark is still writing but for many different artists...
Oh, and Paul?! Actually, we just heard that he's now in New York forming a band.. We do not know yet the exact details but I guess he's happy with what is happening to him now, ayt?
Let's just wish 'em all the best, besides they deserve it!
