2Be3 was a French boyband that was active in 1996 - 2001.

History

2Be3 was formed in 1996 and comprised three childhood friends from Longjumeau (a suburb of Paris): Filip Nikolic, Adel Kachermi and Frank Delay. Inspired by English bands like Take That and Worlds Apart, the group produced 3 studio albums and various compilations before disbanding in 2001.

The name 2Be3 was a pun on the English language phrases "to be free" (in French, "être libre") and "to be three" ("être trois"). Hence the band's name was pronounced in English ("Two Be Three") rather than French ("Deux Be Trois")

Hugely popular in France, despite attempts to break the American and British markets (via an English-language single, "Excuse My French", produced in Miami by Desmond Child), their only significant chart success occurred in their home nation. In 1997 they appeared in their own television series (called "Pour être libre") which ran for 40 episodes on TF1, and several videos were released including a live concert from the Bercy arena in Paris.

After disbanding, Filip Nikolic had a role in the film "Simon Sez" with Dennis Rodman and appeared in the French version of "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!" in 2006.
