Bro'Sis were a multicultural R&B–pop group from Germany, which was created through the RTL II Popstars – Du bist mein Traum in 2001. The group comprised singers and rappers Ross Antony, Hila Bronstein, Shaham Joyce, Faiz-Kevin Mangat, Indira Weis, and Giovanni Zarrella. The sextet achieved major success with hit singles "I Believe", "Do You", "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel", "Hot Temptation" and their first album Never Forget (Where You Come From) (2002).
Weis's departure from the group preceded the release of their second studio album Days of Our Lives (2002), which contains singles "Oh No"/"Never Stop" and "V.I.P.". In 2004, the remaining members released their third and final album Showtime. Commercially less successful, it led to their departure from Cheyenne Records and internal conflicts within the group. In 2005, the band announced a minor hiatus that was later revealed to be an official break-up. Bro'Sis became one of the few reality television winners and Popstars acts to achieve continued success. The band has sold 4 million records, making them one of the biggest-selling German groups.
In summer 2001, the German version of Popstars returned with a second installment of the series on the RTL II network, this time searching for a mixed-gender musical group. More than 11,000 hopeful singers attended open television auditions in Frankfurt, Cologne, Berlin, Stuttgart, Hamburg and Munich, conducted by choreographer Detlef "D!" Soost, producer Alex Christensen, and singer and radio host Noah Sow. Over the course of several recalls and re-recalls, the three judges and vocal coach Artemis Gounaki reduced the contestants to a group of 32 who immediately travelled to Ibiza, Spain to get trained in singing, dancing, and fitness. In the end, three females and five males remained who again moved into a loft in Munich to start working on their performance and publicity skills.
