They debuted in the late 2000s under the stage name Sliimy (pronounced "Slimmy") through social networking websites where they released their songs.

"I participated in choir at school. Otherwise, I would sing by myself! In 2005, I won a contest and then suddenly I recorded my first song. What's funny is that I put the video on my blog, but people wouldn't believe it was me." – Yanis
In 2005, Yanis won a singing contest at Pax in Saint-Etienne, and won a record in a studio where Yanis met Etienne Feed, who became their partner and guitarist.
