CD9 is a Mexican boy band formed in 2013.[2] The original line-up consisted of William Valdés, Freddy Leyva, Alan Navarro, Jos Canela, and Alonso Villalpando. William Valdés left the group in October 2013 and was replaced by Bryan Mouque,[3] whereas Jos Canela worked as the group's leader until his departure in May 2019.[4][5]

Their training was given in 2013, in Mexico City. The members came up with the name because they claim that the term—which is an acronym for "Code 9"—is used to change the topic of conversation and that reflects who they are.[6][7]
