Emblem3

Emblem3 is an American hip-hop/alternative rock/reggae group from Huntington Beach, California who finished in 4th place on season 2 of The X-Factor, mentored by Simon Cowell.

The group consists of brothers Wesley and Keaton Stromberg and Drew Chadwick.

The X-Factor
The group auditioned in San Francisco where they sang a song that Drew wrote called "Sunset Blvd.", which got them 4 yeses from the judges. They continued to impress at bootcamp amd made it to judges' homes with Simon Cowell as their mentor. Despite a minor flub by Drew on their version of The Police song "Everything She Does is Magic", they made it to the live shows where they have continued to impress with their top notch performances, which has earned the guys a very strong fanbase especially among the ladies. However, their laid-back attitudes have earned them criticism from various critics who have accused them of coming across as jerks. Simon Cowell, on the other hand, has called the guys "a joy to work with".

Emblem 3 was eliminated on December 13, 2012, finishing in 4th place.

Post The X-Factor
Simon Cowell talked about his intention to sign the group regardless of where they finished in the competition. Drew Chadwick later confirmed in an interview that he and his groupmates signed a deal with Columbia Records on January 8, 2013.
