D'Nash

D'Nash, Spain's answer to the Backstreet Boys, was rocketed to international success thanks to their appearance on Eurovisión's 2007 Festival de la Canción. Though the program introduced to band to a world of soon-to-be fans, D'Nash were well known to dance music fans throughout Spain. Comprised of members Mikel, Basty, Javi and Ony, the group formed in 2005 under the name NASH. Thanks to producers Carlos Quintero and Mar de Pablos, the group quickly signed a five album deal with Jamm Records. The group looked to influences such as Justin Timberlake, Madonna and Luis Fonsi in forming their sound. NASH's debut single "Capaz de Todo" was released in January of 2006. The single sold more than 20,000 units, hitting #23 on Spanish pop charts. That same year a full length disc by the same name was released, still not achieving the widespread success the group hoped for. In an effort to bring their music to a worldwide audience, the band (taking the name D'Nash) entered the 52nd edition of The Eurovisión Song Festival, in hopes of representing Spain. Singing the song "I love you mi vida," D'Nash advanced to the finals. Though D'Nash ultimately took 20th place, numerous radio stations and fan sites named them the one of the competition favorites. Having won great public notoriety, D'Nash set to recording their sophomore effort, Todo va a Cambiar. Album single "Amanda" climbed Spanish pop charts persistently, earning a spot in the nation's Top 40. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez, All Music Guide
