Together, they formed the girl group T' De Tila.

Their first song, "Dejarte ir" (also their only official music video), only gave them brief success. They followed it up with a studio album T' De Tila released on October 13, 2002 that included hits like "Tomate" and "Aqui estoy" in addition to "Dejarte ir". the songs of the album were written by Áureo Baqueiro, Aleks Syntek, Mario Domm and others. Faced with mediocre reception, the group disbanded within a few months without much success.

After break-up, Christian continued with a singing career in the States, María León became a vocalist of Playa Limbo, Ana Brenda Contreras branched into acting on television notably in the TV series Teresa, whereas Lorena Fajardo immigrated to Sweden marrying there and continuing her very successful career there.
