The adults in his previous label, Sony BMG Germany, say they liked to do and that was the best for them but they refused to be escorted. In contrast to other acts, they approached a record label with a full album, they would not to any stylist or songwriter. "We produced the record and did everything on our own feet so we signed the contract," says Tom. This angered his former boss. "They did not believe in us and thought we had the potential to be successful," recalls Bill. "They lost us." However, his firm belief in his talent was rewarded when they signed Universal Music Germany in 2005.
