Nu Flavor

Nu Flavor is a R&B quartet from Long Beach, California consisting of Jacob Ceinceros (baritone), Anthony Dacosta (tenor), Rico Luna (alto), and Frank Pangelinan (tenor/lead). Soon after forming the band, they found "Latin Urban Idolmaking Guru" Bruce Johnson, and enlisted him as Manager and under his direction, they created a cover of Journey's hit song, Open Arms, and eventually the recording found it's way to Reprise president Howie Klien. After singing a capella in his office, he signed the group on the spot. Their first album debuted in 1997, launching two "gold" singles (500,000 units) "Heaven" and "Sweet Sexy Thing". Their second album It's On appeared two years later, which yielded the hit singles "Sprung", "3 Little Words" and "Beautiful Girl".
