Your big difference is the Latin touch of his music, which makes them feel safe in the midst of a wave of international pop groups.
"We want to be known for ourselves, not like One Direction Latinos. Want to know us as CD9," Villalpando its integral Alonso said in a recent interview.
"(We have) a more latino Mexican touch, we want our music to stay with our label.'s Pop as it stalled, is father to come to prove that is not dead," said Alan Navarro.
The quintet, completed by Freddy Leyva, Jos Bryan Mouque and Canela, aged between 18 and 20, is not afraid to acknowledge that are gestated in social networks band.
"They are part of us, hence we come. Were the stairs that brought us here," said Alonso.
independent project
Its name is an acronym for Code 9, a key that teens use in their online chats in which to use number 9 know they should change the subject because someone outside the conversation is about, as published by The Associated Press.
"We put so much because we used when we talked about the plans of the group," said Jos of times they used that key when they talked of the band, initially conceived as a simple game.
The project reached another dimension two years ago, when they sought to producer Mike Zanetti, who has worked with Mexican Vazquez Sounds a trio gained popularity with their videos on social networks.
Led by Zanetti, CD9 recorded the song "The Party" and then the video of the song, which went to YouTube, drew the attention of adolescent accumulating about 10,000 views on the first day, according to the group.
Until then, the quintet pop wished to develop an independent project. Nor had Bryan, who then added that a member left the band for personal reasons.
The 'coders'
Following the broadcast of the video, they were contacted by a social media executive at Sony Music, who expressed their interest in the group.
"It was the strangest thing: it was a DM in Twitter, the vice president of Sony," recalled Alan. "This (Josh) started to run like crazy through the house of Alonso and could not stop smiling. Everything I was shocked. Embonamos well with the label and managers."
With just two singles, the quintet has an entourage of followers (coders called themselves) who pack their signings.

Although they are about to embark on a tour throughout Mexico, which, if successful would extend to Central and South America, the boys said they were not chasing to be the center of the spotlight.
"More than fame are eager to share our music. We are ready for whatever comes," Alonso said.
