Soluna was a music group consisting of four members, all of Hispanic descent – Aurora Rodriguez, America Olivo, Jessica Castellanos, and Christina "T" López.
Both Lopez and Castellanos are pursuing primarily solo music careers, and Olivo is developing an acting resume, including a recent role on General Hospital.
Soluna began in 1998 when Jessica Castellanos met Aurora Rodriguez and America through a mutual producer they were working with individually.
The three began singing together, and after discovering the harmony and chemistry with their voices, they then sought a fourth member to complete the group.
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 members of Soluna produced one track (the a cappella "Te Vengo A Decir") and co-wrote five others ("Bring It To Me," "I'll Be Waiting," "So In Love," "Spanish Lullaby," and "Luna Mia").
The corresponding video, directed by Bille Woodruff, was shot in both English and Spanish in June 2002 and premiered on MTV's "Total Request Live" on July 24, 2002.
was also recorded, as well as a pseudo cover of Eddie Money's "Take Me Home Tonight", with Castellanos singing the chorus and J.Roman performing original verses in a rap style.

Olivo has appeared on House (twice as recurring role "Ingrid, the Masseuse"), Jake in Progress, Cuts and How I Met Your Mother.
Lopez has appeared on TV shows Charmed, South of Nowhere, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
