[edit] Biography

In February 2006, the band launched their debut single "Capaz de Todo" (English: "Capable of Everything"). The album Capaz de Todo was released a month later on March 28. In June 2006 they released second single "¿Dónde Estás?" ("Where Are You?"), a ballad. Their album was reissued in November with two extra songs, "Qué Sabes del Amor" ("What Do You Know About Love?") and "Más Allá de las Estrellas" ("Beyond The Stars"), a Christmas song. The latter became a single promoting the Special Edition.

On February 24, 2007, (still known as NASH), NASH won Misión Eurovisión 2007, a Spanish TV program searching for the next representative of Spain in the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest, which were held on May 12 in Helsinki. Just before entering the competition, they announced a change of name from NASH to D'NASH, due to the existence of a rapper called NACH. They entered the competition with the song "I Love You Mi Vida" (literally "I Love You My Life" but in this case 'my life' refers to the love interest, making it 'sweetheart'), which ended the night in 20th position (out of 24 competitors) with a total of 43 points.

In April 2007, they re-released their album, with the Eurovision-entry song "I Love You Mi Vida" and the other finalist songs from the preselection ("Una Lágrima", "Tu Voz Se Apagará", "La Reina de la Noche" and "Busco una Chica"). Also, a cover of Ben E. King's hit Stand by Me was included on the album and was later released as a promo single. The album re-landed at number 23 in Spain, selling a total of 20,000 copies, not receiving any certification.

In November 2007, the band returned with a new single "Amanda", which preceded the new album Todo Va a Cambiar (English: Everything's Going to Change) on December 4 2007.
