SX was an indie pop ensemble originating from Kortrijk, Belgium, active between 2009 and 2022.
History
The band SX was established in early 2009 by Benjamin Desmet, who played keyboard and guitar, alongside Stefanie Callebaut, who provided vocals and keyboard. Initial achievements included winning the Road2Fame competition broadcast on TMF Vlaanderen in June 2009 and securing the audience award at the Westtalent finale three months afterward. With backing from Studio Brussel radio, SX garnered significant recognition in January 2011 through their single Black Video, which was met with favorable critiques. On 26 May 2011, they recorded three songs—Black Video, Stop, and Graffiti—at Toots-Studio in Brussels, featured on Studio Brussel’s Select show. Throughout 2011, the group toured across Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Their first album, Arche, debuted in 2012, followed by the release of Alphabet in 2016.
In February 2022, SX declared their disbandment after completing a concluding acoustic tour.
