After this performance, however, the group began searching for a new manager and managers came pouring in for a chance. In July 1991, NRG performed to a sold out crowd at a BMI showcase and the audience embraced the group instantly. Micki Duran became the newest member of NRG and she had to endure many late nights of learning new lyrics and dance moves since they were set to perform at a large venue in a couple of months. It was at this time that Heather Holyoak decided that she wanted to return to college, in which case, the three remaining girls began holding auditions to recruit a fourth member. In February 1991, the then NRG performed at a local LA nightclub for the first time. Without waiting around for a record company to call, the girls began performing and singing at nightclubs, charity functions, and began hanging out and singing live at local radio stations.

Knowing full well that beauty and talent would go a long way, Holyoak, Sandstrom, Ridel and Ferguson sent a portfolio of photographs out along with their demo tapes.

Heather Holyoak and Stacy Ann Ferguson (Fergie) soon joined the group and began searching for a record contract.
