[edit] Biography

All three of the group’s members are from Southern California and attend classes at Hollywood Pop Academy, a fee-based talent agency and training academy for aspiring pop stars. The group members, Brianna Cara, Cristina Ballestero, and Jamie Spradley, first met at the Academy in Los Angeles. There they started working with song writer, record producer and talent coach Alex Cantrall, who has also worked with JoJo, Fantasia Barrino, and Vanessa Hudgens. Cantrell put the girls through a musical style boot camp in hopes of improving their natural talents and marketability. The girls have said it was one of the hardest things they've ever done, undergoing this intense regimen of running, dancing, and singing. They signed to Blackground Records in 2006 and released their first single, "Forget You," in 2007. Their debut album was set for release in the summer of 2007. The album release date is not known yet. The original name of the group was Willow.

The group's album title is rumored to be 15, 16, 15. Which are the ages of the three girls. Cristina and Jamie are 15, while Brianna is 16.

[edit] Albums

Their debut album is scheduled for a Summer release. The first single from the album is "Forget You". The video premiered on February 13, and the album will be released on Blackground Records. On March 7 was leaked another track from the album "Stop Drop Roll"

[edit] Trivia
