Bailon was born to a Puerto Rican mother and an Ecuadorian father in Lower Eastside Manhattan, New York on October 24, 1983,. She attended High School for Health Professions and Human Services. But when her girl group 3LW took off in 2001, she pursued her new profession as a singer than towards careers in health and human services.
Career
3LW (1999–2007)
In 1999, Bailon was singing in a church choir which caught the attention of popstar Ricky Martin. Martin asked for the best four singers, and Bailon was among those chosen. After this success, Bailon auditioned to join a girl group, which became 3LW.
Along with Kiely Williams and Naturi Naughton, the group signed to Epic Records and released their debut album of the same name in late 2000, which had moderate success in the U.S. Their debut single "No More (Baby I'ma Do Right)", peaked at #23 on the Billboard Hot 100, along with Playas Gon' Play which was favorable among fans but didn't share the same success of No More (Baby I'ma Do Right). The album peaked at #29 on the charts was certified platinum by the RIAA for shipping 1.3 million copies in the U.S.
The group soon began work on a second album, "Same Game, Different Rules", and the lead single, "Never Let Go" was sent to radios, however the entire album soon leaked to the internet, and Epic Records considered dropping them. Fans however led a protest, "Never Let Go of 3LW", and the act was retained. After many arguments, Naturi Naughton left the group, right before their official second album, "A Girl Can Mack" was released. The album was considered "racier" than their previous effort and dealt with negative publicity due to the departure of Naturi.
As a duo, which the tabloids nicknamed, "2LW", Adrienne and Kiely released a holiday album, "Naughty or Nice". The duo also scored a film together in Disney's "The Cheetah Girls". They shot the film the winter of 2002. After filming, Jessica Benson replaced Naturi in early 2003 and they began work on a third album, "Phoenix Rising". In 2004, they were dropped from Epic and signed to Sony and So So Def Records. Adrienne & Kiely went on to shoot two more Cheetah Girl films, as well as sign a record deal as a musical group with Sabrina Bryan.
In 2005, Sony released a compilation album, "Neva Get Enuf", before dropping them, and in 2006 "Phoenix Rising" was renamed "Point of No Return" with its lead single, "Feelin' You" ft. Jermaine Dupri being released. The album however was delayed and later scrapped, and the group was dropped from So So Def Records in 2007. They disbanded that same year.
