Named after the rebellious heroine of 1976s sci-fi classic Logans Run, Jessica 6 feature singer Nomi Ruiz, bassist Andrew Raposo, and keyboardist Morgan Wiley. The trio met in late 2007 while working with Hercules and Love Affair on that groups debut album, and after performing over 100 dates together, they decided to continue working together. Before joining forces, Brooklyn-born Ruiz released a solo album, 2005s Lost in Lust, which married her husky alto to hip-hop beats; meanwhile, Wiley and Raposo had worked together before in the band Automato, whose 2004 album was produced by the DFA's James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy. This mix of R&B, disco, and hip-hop -- along with healthy doses of freestyle, funk, punk, and pop -- shaped Jessica 6's sound. Ruiz brought a song called Fun Girl to Wiley and Raposo in 2008, which they fleshed out into 2009s Fun Girl EP; in mid-2011, their full-length album See the Light arrived.
