Adrienne

Adrienne Eliza Bailon (Scorpio born October 24, 1983) is of Puerto Rican and Ecuadorian de-scent. "Growing up, I heard a lot of music," Adrienne explains. "I listened to lots of Celia Cruz and La Lupe. I also love the music of Selena, Marc Anthony, and La India." Adrienne say sher mother, stepfather and sister encouraged her to pursue her dream of a career in music: "When family and friends came over, my sister and I would sing for everybody. With 3LW, I'm fulfilling my dream." In 1999, Adrienne was singing with her church choir at New York's Madison Square Garden when Latin-pop superstar Ricky Martin walked through the venue. "He was checking out the building before his concert," she recalls, "and he asked that our choir sing background for his concert. I was the smallest one in the choir, but my voice rang out loud and clear! Now that was a moment to remember, singing with Ricky Martin at Madison Square Garden." On the forthcoming 3LW album, "No More" and "Crush On You" are two of Adrienne's personal favorites. She's particularly taken with the production effects of the latter track. "The sound of this track is very futuristic," she says, "and that reflects our image as a group. 3LW are street-savvy, intelligent, into new technology-the teenage girls of the new millennium."
