From the San Jose Bay Area, sisters Alisha and Gigi Floresca, along with soul sister Leslye Maninang-Salfen bring in a unique sound of R&B, Hip-Hop, with a touch of soul.
When asked what makes Honey Luv different from any other girl group the ladies collectively answer at the same time "well, first of all we're Filipino and we're family…two strengths." Alisha and Gigi's older brother is married to Leslye's older sister and that has made these three inseparable since Gigi was in diapers.
As Premiere, they earned worldwide recognition with their single "Somethin' About You" (produced by the multi-platinum producing team Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy) by touring nationally with groups such as Immature, Dru Hill, Destiny's Child, and Soul 4 Real. The girls were personally invited by Don Cornelius to perform on his famous TV show "Soul Train." They have also been
featured on BET's Video shows as well as Teen Summit. Internationally, the girls have been recognized in Japan, Germany, and even held the ..1 chart position in Guam for seven weeks. Although the group had found much success with Premiere they felt they had reached their peak and in 1998 the girls decided to slow down their musical careers to pursue their educations. In 2002, they decided to return to the studio and re-establish themselves as Honey Luv.
In the spring of 2003, Honey Luv was signed by Cudda Love (founder of Nelly and the St. Lunatics as well as former manager of Mase) and Jarrod Bible. The trio has been working very hard at making their next album. "We have grown so much since the last album and want our album to reflect the changes," says Leslye. Working with talented producers such as Alonzo & Taura Jackson from Heeba Jeeba, The Movement, Black Keys, Scott Storch, and Dr. Dre, the ladies of Honey Luv are very excited to be out on the music scene again.
The infectious urban sounds of Honey Luv are undeniable. With their tight, smooth harmonies as well as their hot music tracks, Honey Luv is bound to be the most unique R & B act in the world.
