Aimee Castillo (no relation to Monica) was with the group for their first album, "Just the Beginning" and left before releasing their second, "Sincerely Yours."
The five girls all began singing in church. But they got their start as a vocal group in a high school talent show, and decided to take it to the next level. They were signed by Bay Area indie label, Kamikaze Entertainment soon after.
Their debut single, "When U Think About Me", was snapped up by MCA Records. The track can be found on the MTV Films soundtrack for the movie "Jailbait." During this time with MCA, they were briefly known as Voice V.
After a short hiatus, they released their third album in 2004, "Luvin' You", on Straight Hits Entertainment, with the lead single "Poison."

Bah bah bah hah hah
*Verse 1*
Must of been an angel
Sweet spirits raining from above
Shower me with lirance of love
Blessing me over and over
*Chorus*
So I serenade my song
My love, for you
And I'll give you my heart
And I'll serenade for

Ohh, you said you was my destiny
My calling to find the way to you
Something like out of dream
Angels came to me and sang this heavenly song
*Chorus*
*Verse 3*
Ohh, my love is true for you
Never have to worry baby, coz I got what you need
You'll never be alone
My heart will be your shelter and keep you warm
Need me, feel me, hold me forever and ever
Need me, feel me, hold me forever and ever
*Chorus*
I serenade for you, I serenade
I serenade for you, I serenade
Serenade for you (to fade)
The lyrics to One Vo1ce's song "Serenade" seem to be about the singer's overwhelming love for someone. The opening lines of the song are ambiguous, but they could be interpreted as indicating some sort of spiritual or divine intervention in the formation of the singer's relationship, as if an angel brought them together. The chorus appears to be the singer expressing their love and their willingness to commit to the person being addressed. The verses reiterate this theme of a spiritual connection and a love that is true and will never let the other person down. The repetition of the phrase "serenade for you" throughout the song reinforces the message that the singer is deeply devoted to the person they are singing to and wants to show them through their music.
