The singer, Tim Akkerman was just 19, the guitar player and the drummer were only 15 years old at that time.
Within a few months Di-rect had completed a five track demo which included the song "Just the Way I Do". 3FM radio DJ Rob Stenders saw them play live and was impressed by them. He played a song from their demo on national radio. This generated considerable interest by record companies. Two months later Di-rect signed with Dino Music/EMI. In the year 2002, they played on every big festival in Holland and their debut album "Discover" came out.
Over the next few years, Di-rect released various albums. In 2003, they released "Over The Moon", containing the singles "Adrenaline", "She" and "Rollercoaster". Two years later, they released a new album called "All Systems Go!". After releasing this album, Di-rect joined the MTV-program "RoadRally". After this show, the band almost broke up, but in 2007 they released their 4th album (nameless). The latest album is a live-album, recored in Diligentia in The Hague.
