Platnum are a British three-piece bassline vocal group from Manchester, UK, consisting of male vocalist Aaron Evers and female vocalists Mina Poli and Michelle McKenna. The trio are best known for providing the vocals on H "Two" O's 2008 single, "What's It Gonna Be?", which reached number two in the UK Singles Chart in February 2008. Platnum, who formed around 2004, have worked with DJs Jamie Duggan and Q as well as producers Virgo, H "two" O and Nastee Boi.

The groups highly anticipated second single, "Love Shy (Thinking About You)" was released on 29 September 2008 and they have also started work on their debut album. They are touring, supporting N-Dubz, in the UK in Autumn 2009.

Formation and early success

The group formed for a local talent show. The selected name for the new band was Urban Superstars, in around 2004. They did not win the competition, they then used their entry track Over the Heartache to showcase their talents to established members of the UK Bassline scene. The track proved popular, and a remix, by DJ Jamie Duggan, was awarded Bassline Heaven's Tune of the Year Award in 2006, In fact, Damien Thompson (A.K.A. D-Tox) engineered and co-produced the track, but was not credited as he was signed to the 'Reflective' label. Nocturnal records released the track, on vinyl, in the same year. The group have met many other singers and producers such as Sacha and S.U.D.
