"We're different, but we have a mutual balance between the three of us. That makes it work well in the studio and on stage."

| The single "Where My Girls At?" put Irish, LeMisha and Kameelah on the map, although they already had fans thanks to their debut album, No Doubt. After a three-year hiatus, these hip-pop sistas are back with a shining effort in Star. |

| This hot Las Vegas trio blew up thanks to the hit "Where My Girls At?" and have finally returned to delight fans worldwide with a whole new set of potential chart toppers. Had they been out of the spotlight any longer, we would have gone into serious withdrawal. |

In their hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada, sisters LeMisha and Irish Grinstead, and their friend Kameelah Williams, were living a normal teenage life. Between school, homework, boyfriends, and parties, one never would have known how spectacularly blessed these women were without having visited Caesars Palace on the night of a boxing match.
Whenever a big fight was in town, the Grinstead sisters would hang out in the lobby and show off their vocal skills for all who would listen in the hopes that someone in the music industry would pass by.
After many of these appearances, LeMisha, Irish, and her twin Orish, were losing hope, until one day, actor/comedian Sinbad, of all people, happened to walk by. Though not a music producer, he recognized how talented the Grinsteads were and visited their home in order to convince their parents to send the trio to Atlanta for a convention and music competition. Though the girls missed the deadline for entry, Sinbad used his name to get them in.
"Sweeta than Suga," as they were then called (Sinbad suggested the name), came in second in the competition. As the convention was nearing a close, the sisters happened to see Michael Bivins (formerly of New Edition and Bel Biv DeVoe) passing by. After some persuasion, he listened and was astounded by the sisters' mature voices. He later said that he thought he had found his own version of the Supremes. With the crowd that had gathered egging him on, Bivins agreed to work with the talented girls.
Orish Grinstead dropped out of the group and was replaced by LeMisha and Irish's good friend Kameelah Williams, while Bivins continued to work with different producers and songwriters to get the right feel for their first album. The new group was christened "702," which is Las Vegas' area code. |
