[edit] Career

3T released their debut album in 1995, titled Brotherhood produced by MJJ Music. Their album sold approximately three million copies worldwide. They achieved an international hit with their debut single, titled "Anything" and released several hit singles including "24/7", "Why" (a duet with Michael Jackson), "I Need You" (with Michael Jackson on backing vocals), "Tease Me" and "Gotta Be You". In 1996, they were ranked second, behind the Spice Girls, as the biggest selling group in Europe.

3T later wrote and produced songs for the soundtracks to such films as Men in Black, Free Willy and Free Willy 2, The Jacksons: An American Dream, and Trippin'. Today the group continues to perform in the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain. Their last album, titled Identity was released independently on March 23, 2004, alongside their single "Stuck On You" (a cover of the Lionel Richie song) and "Sex Appeal".

In December 2005, it was announced that 3T would star in a Television reality show, which would feature the band trying to resurrect their career in United States. This has not yet taken place.

In April 2006, they performed at the Hotel Schouwsehof in Aalsmeer, Netherlands, as part of the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the birth of soul music in the provincial farming village near Schiphol Airport.
