Their music seamlessly blended elements of Latin, pop, and electronic dance, creating a unique sound that resonated with listeners worldwide.

Early Years and Rise to Fame

The group’s origins can be traced back to 1984 when Jeanette Jurado, an aspiring singer, met producer Lewis A. Martinee at a local nightclub. Recognizing her talent, Martinee enlisted the help of keyboardist/producer Juanito “Johnny” Vasquez to form a trio. They soon found the perfect complement in Alejandra Lorenzo, a gifted dancer and vocalist.

Under the name Exposé, the group began performing at local clubs and events, quickly gaining recognition for their energetic stage presence and catchy tunes. Their debut single, “Point of No Return,” garnered significant airplay on Miami radio stations, establishing them as emerging stars in the freestyle scene.
