Background

Eme 15 was composed of the six main actors of the teen telenovela, Miss XV. Originally, the band was formed with five actors, but producers held a casting search in July 2011 to find a third female member. Argentine television hostess and model, Macarena Achaga, was confirmed as the band's sixth member in August 2011.[3][4]

Musical career

Eme 15 performed songs included in the television series, Miss XV. The band made their television debut at the Mexican Kids Choice Awards in Mexico City on September 3, 2011, with their debut single, Wonderland.[5] The single was recorded in Mexico City in August 2011 and produced by Pedro Damian.[6] The official music video for Wonderland was filmed in October 2011 in Las Pozas, a park in Xilitla, San Luis Potosí.[7] The music video premiered on April 4, 2012, on cafedecamilo.com[8] Wonderland was officially released as a digital download for iTunes in Mexico on April 24, 2012. In early October 2012, the band filmed a music video on the beach for their second single, "Solamente Tú" in Acapulco, Mexico. The video premiered exclusively on MTV Latin America's website on October 29, 2012.[9] The single was available for digital download on iTunes for Mexico on October 9, 2012.

Due to the band and Miss XV's success, Paulina Goto and Natasha Dupeyrón were revealed as co-protagonists for producer Pedro Damián's slated television series, tentatively titled, "Las Mejores Amigas: Best Friends Forever" on April 24, 2013. The program was expected to include songs performed by Eme 15 and between 80 and 100 episodes were expected to be filmed. However, production never began and the project was cancelled.[10]

The band received two nominations for the Premios Oye! awards for Revelación en Español and Canción en Español for their single, Wonderland. The awards ceremony was held on May 16, 2013, in Mazatlan, Mexico.[11]
