I'm always on the lookout for the next big thing so you're the first to know What's Hot in tv/film, fashion and music. Here at Young Hollywood, I'm keeping you ahead of the curve. Read on to find out about the emerging stars of tomorrow, today!

Who's rocking my block this week? London performing artists Varren Wade, Jermaine Riley and Kyle Lettman - better known as FDM.

Creating An Identity: The boys first met at a dance rehearsal studio in London and formed a group, going on to win the UK Unsigned Talent Competition in 2004, under the name Fun*dmental. They now go by FDM, which stands for the same in shorthand form.

Triple Threat: Their music is smooth and gets you grooving, but it wasn't until I saw them perform that I was like, whoa! They've got the kind of moves you'd expect from a dance crew in one of those Step Up movies. Yah, they're serving it like that! Hit up their YouTube channel to see the guys in action.

Billed as the UK's premiere R&B boy band, they're united as a group of singers, dancer-choreographers and songwriters, making FDM a truly multi-talented import.

Paying Their Dues: They've opened for artists such as Nelly, Bobby Valentino, Pretty Ricky, Kanye West, Fabolous, Ray J, Montell Jordan, Horace Brown, Lemar, Javine, Girls Aloud, Missy Elliott and the UK's multi-platinum Sugababes.

Last year, the boys hit it home with a big time record contract at Geffen. They're currently recording their debut album, Backstage Pass.

They're ones to watch and you heard about em first right here at Young Hollywood - bringing you a daily dose of fresh entertainment goodness!

Word.
