Hope 7 was a pop rock band that performed together from 2002 to 2005. The band members consisted of Kristi McClave (lead singer), Dave Noble (guitarist), Chevy Martinez (bassist), and Chase Duddy (drummer).
Performing since the age of six, McClave was discovered by record producer Rodney Jerkins. McClave was then chosen by Antonina Armato and Tim James to be a featured vocalist for the pop group 3Gs. They later recorded the song "Crush" for The Princess Diaries soundtrack. However, finding the right mix of singers for the group proved difficult, and 3Gs eventually disbanded. McClave continued to work with some of the same producers, leading to a more rock-oriented sound. McClave provided the track, "Breakthrough", for the Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde soundtrack. The artist for that particular track was Hope 7, even though the band's lineup was not final at the time.[ citation needed ] McClave was signed to Hollywood Records and toured with the MTV TRL tour.
