In 1991, a girl group called NRG was formed. They were a quartet made up of herself, Heather Holyoak, and Stacy Ferguson, and Renee Sands of Kids Incorporated. They were signed to Sony Records that year, and changed their name to Wild Orchid. Soon Heather left the group for college and was replaced by Micki Duran, also a Kids Incorporated alumni. They recorded a debut album, but Micki soon left the group to pursue acting, and they were dropped from Sony. They signed to RCA Records, and recorded their self-titled debut album, which was released in 1996. Their second album, Oxygen, was released in 1998, and they recorded Fire in 2000.
