However, Linda’s childhood was not without its problems - on the receiving end of bullying at school, Linda withdrew into herself and developed bulimia. A move to an arts college helped her change all this though. She spent 3 years studying music where she blossomed as a musician and with the support of true friends gained enough self-confidence to battle the disorder. Stints in Mallorca and Hamburg followed before Linda met producer Ali Lehtonen back in Sweden who introduced her to Andrea.</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">22-year-old Andrea was born in Chile but aged 7 immigrated to Sweden with her mother. Like Linda, Andrea’s early years were not simple and she sadly never got the chance to know her father who died in 1999. Dance and music were an important focus for her as a youngster and she kept herself busy with ballet classes, and singing in the school choir before starting her own radio show aged 12. At 17 she joined radio station P3 which broadcasts over all Scandinavia, entertaining listeners with her honey-textured voice.</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">20-year-old Malin whose mother is Portuguese and father is Swedish is the 3rd member of the group. Growing up in rural Sweden she sang in the local choir and learned to play the flute and violin. Aged 16 Malin headed to the city to study French, Spanish, English and Business Studies, but music remained close to her heart and she composed a song for a cartoon film. On a whim she took part in the Miss Sweden pageant and walked away with the victory crown. In 2001 she represented her country at the Miss Universe contest in Puerto Rico, before meeting Ali and being introduced to the other 2 girls.</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
