LMNT

As it turns out, the successful ABC-TV show Making the Band has wound up resulting in more than one up and coming pop group. Two of the contestants on the show who didn't make the final cut, Bryan Chan and Mike Miller, and one who did, Ikaika Kahoano, but decided to go a different way, have formed their own group. Together with Matt Morrison, a veteran of Broadway musicals, the foursome goes by the name LMNT.

"Mike and I didn't make that group and for awhile we were just king of going through some different offers, then Mike and A.J. (manager) had found each other when they were in Los Angeles and A.J. had approached Mike with the idea of possibly putting together another band," Bryan explains. "The original idea was to have the three of us, Ikaika, Mike and myself, to be in this group and then we found Matt through our publicist." With songwriting talent and model good looks to go along with their smooth harmonies, LMNT is poised to make a name for themselves in 2001.
