Lead singer Maria Christensen was a songwriter before the band, singing since the age of 5 and writing songs since she was 10. She has written songs for Nana Mouskouri, Eternal, 'N Sync and Céline Dion. She released a solo album prior to being in the group, which featured the original version of their track 'If My Heart Could Talk'.
Backup singers Karmine Alers and Elaine Borja filled out the racially-diverse group.
They formed in the wake of the mid-90s dance-pop movement, following such acts as the Spice Girls. They performed on the Today Show.
The band released their album Alive in 1997. The album was recorded on Long Island, New York, and produced by Rick Wake. Four of the songs were written by Christensen.
Two singles were released from it. "Can U Feel It" (#43) was their highest-charting song. "Love is Alive" (#61) was a remake of the song by Gary Wright from his album The Dreamweaver. The album also contained the single "Waiting for Tonight," which was remade by Jennifer Lopez for her first album, On the 6, and charted at #8.
