   soluna was a music group (1998â2004) consisting of four members, all of hispanic descent - aurora rodriguez, america olivo, jessica castellanos, and christina "t" lÃ³pez. 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 aurora rodriguez and america olivo, who had become friends while both attending california institute of the arts, met up after a few years apart. the two met with a record producer friend and found jessica castellanos, another aspiring singer. the three started singing together but 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. ==soluna's musical debut - for all time== soluna's debut album was finished by summer of 2001. it featured tracks with pop, rock, dance and latin sounds due to the influence of producers steve morales, tim & bob, josh & brian, thunderpuss 2000, ozomatli and tim miner. 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 uptempo song "bring it to me" was picked as the first single and rose to the top 20 of billboard's dance chart however, with the events of september 11, 2001, soluna decided to go in a different musical direction by focusing on promoting a power ballad, "for all time," as their new single. the single was rel
