History

Background and training

Igor Von Adamovich had worked as an actor in the miniseries A Lonely Heart (2004). The influence of his mother lead him to learn the piano and later also started on the guitar.

Michael Band, of English, Belgian and German origin, began playing guitar at age 8, and in his youth had an indie rock band called Ob the Edge. He was born in Rio de Janeiro, and has lived in Mato Grosso do Sul and in Singapore, and stopped to business school to devote himself to music.

Jonathan Couto began learning to play the tambourine, then learned guitar and formed a samba band in fifth grade together with his classmates.

Guilherme dos Santos made a theater workshop hidden from their parents and acted in musicals.

The British producer Jason Herbert, currently living in Brazil and also a former member of the boy band Big Fun, decided in 2010 to develop a project to create a boy band internationally. A year after, he, with the help of American producer Venus Brown, got into contact with Igor and Michael, who were already known to them. With the help of Jason, Jonathan and William joined the band. Posto 9 was chosen by the band due to being considered one of the spot's most frequented by locals and tourists to Ipanema beach, where Igor and Michael often frequented.
