From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hope 7 was pop rock band that performed together from 2003-2005. The band members consisted of Kristy McClave (lead singer), Dave Noble (guitarist), Chevy Martinez (bassist) and Ricky Rodriguez (drummer).
[edit] Early years
Performing since the age of six, McClave was discovered by famed record producer Rodney Jerkins. McClave was chosen by Jerkins to be a featured vocalist for the pop group 3Gs, but finding the right mix of singers for the group proved difficult, 3Gs eventually disbanded. However, McClave continued to work with some of the same producers involved with the 3Gs, leading to a more rock-oriented sound. In 2003, McClave provided the track entitled "Breakthrough" for the Legally Blonde 2 soundtrack. The artist for that particular track were credited as "Hope 7" eventhough the band's lineup, was not final at the time.
