Linkup was a French boy band, created by the third season of the popular French reality show Popstars, called "Popstars - the Duel" aired on RTL Group TV channel M6 (also known as Métropole 6) in fall 2003. It consisted of Matthieu, Lionel and Otis. Matthieu later became known as singer M. Pokora.
Career
The band released their debut and only album Notre étoile (meaning Our star in French). The debut single from the album, "Mon étoile" (meaning My star in French)[1] was a success, reaching #1 in the French charts.
The following single, Une seconde d'éternité (One second of eternity)[2] and the album didn't find much success. After a collaboration with the English boy band Blue in recording the single "You & Me Bubblin", which also failed to attract enough sales, Linkup disbanded in 2004.
