Karim, Myan and Usman are three guys on a mission. They recently won the award for 鈥淏est Unsigned Act鈥� at this year鈥檚 UK Asian Music Awards and since then have grabbed the attention of the ambassadors of the Asian music scene. The three met up for the first time at a mutual friend鈥檚 house where they practised singing and before long they came to the conclusion that they were a successful group in the making. The name 3Mix was chosen because they believe it signifies three strong individuals who have their own characters and personalities but go together to form a strong and united bond as a group.
