About

A simple ad on Craigslist brought Telenovela Star (T*) together in Spring 2004. Their complex backgrounds and musical interests instantly clicked, creating a sound that immediately appealed to all three. They share a deep passion for merging genres: loud indie rock, hip/hop, r&b, and syncopated jazz rhythms, under catchy, smart, angry and at times sad melodies.

In December 2005 Telenovela Star released their first record, a self-titled EP. Within a few weeks the intense, upbeat track Car Song was selected as theme music for Beyond the Break, a drama on The N! channel about competitive female surfers. The show aired June 2006 and continued into a 2nd season. The song was also included on The N Soundtrack in 2006, and was a Finalist in 7th Annual Independent Music Awards.

In July 2007, they released their first full-length album - the wildly diverse Love, Lust, Sci-fi & Monsters.

FUN FACTOIDS:
Hanna and Maggie guest-starred as members of the fictitious band The Crew on As The World Turns on CBS in May 2006, and again in February 2008.

Nikkie acted in the independent short film, "Esme Seeking", as the main character Esme. The film was featured in a number of national (U.S.) and international film festivals.

Members of T* have lived in Transylvania, Greece, Boston, Baton Rouge, Tokyo, Trinidad & Tobago, Washington DC, Stockholm, Hell's Kitchen, The Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens.
