The story is simple, really. Three ordinary girls audition for the world's biggest talent show on reality television, Idols. One originating from Centurion, one from Randburg and the other from the Free State. All three girls are fortunate enough to make it to the Top 100 throughout the entire country and beyond. As the competition heats up, the public gets the opportunity to vote via phone lines for their favourite contestant, whom would ultimately make it into the coveted Top 10. Both Deidre and Kesha had the public's support. Unfortunately Nicky did not gain enough votes from the public and therefore did not make the Top 10 ... yet. The Idols format is ruled by endless twists and the Top 10 is converted into a Top 12. Hereby giving the judges the opportunity to give a few of the unlucky contestants the privilege of being an Idols Top 12 competitor. Nicky got a second chance to perform for the judges in the wildcard round, in which contestants with the most potential were called back. She impressed the judges and narrowly made it into the Top 12. Now Deidre, Kesha and Nicky had to compete against one another for the ultimate prize, the Idols crown. One by one they each fell out of the competition, failing to make it to the final. However, Nicky proved to be most popular among the judges and the public, being the last girl voted off from the competition. Fans of all three girls couldn't wait for the girls to release their CD's once the competition ended. Everyone was expecting each girl to record a solo album and launch a career as a solo artist, but instead the three girls decided to release a CD together with the help and management of Sony BMG. Today Nicky, Kesha and Deidre are known as NKD, the first band formed by former Idols finalists in South Africa. Finding a name for the band wasn't an easy task, and initially they came up with DKN, but changed it around because of it being too close to DKNY. The girls recorded the theme song 'I Want Your Love' for Supersport, which has been on supersport ads on all our local sport channels. Their hit single 'What I Believe' have also been played on several radio stations country wide. Their debut album was due for release on 05 October 2006 and judging by the media speculation, their CD is sure to become one of the biggest selling albums in the history of South African music .
