Soluna
Soluna was a music group (1998–2004) consisting of four members, all of Hispanic descent - Aurora Rodriguez, America Olivo, Jessica Castellanos, and Christina "T" López. The group's name is the combination the Spanish words for sun ("sol") and moon ("luna"). Both Lopez and Castellanos are pursuing primarily solo music careers, and Olivo is developing an acting resume, including a recent role on General Hospital.
Formation
Soluna began in 1998 when Jessica Castellanos, met Aurora Rodriguez and America through a mutual producer they were working with individually. The three started singing together and realized there was amazing harmony and chemistry with there voices. They then sought a fourth member to complete the group. By chance, another producer named Nick Martinez recommended to them a young girl he'd met while driving in Ontario, California. He had stopped at a local auto-body shop due to car trouble and saw the owner's daughter's picture on the wall. The girl's father assured him his daughter was talented and could sing. Her name was Christina "T" Lopez, and after singing "Amazing Grace" over the phone, she became the final member of Soluna. Shortly after their line-up was complete, Soluna signed with DreamWorks Records.
