Adrienne Eliza Bailon (born October 24, 1983) is an American actress, singer-songwriter, dancer, and television personality. She first rose to prominence as a member of the all female group 3LW, along with Kiely Williams and Naturi Naughton. The trio released two studio albums together; their 2000 self titled debut album and the 2002 album A Girl Can Mack. Following Naughton's departure from the group, Williams and Bailon released their third studio album, Naughty or Nice at the end of 2002. In 2005, their first greatest hits album, Neva Get Enuf was released, and the following year they released the lead single from their upcoming fourth album, Point of No Return, featuring new member Jessica Benson.

Bailon and Williams worked together in the Disney channel musical The Cheetah Girls, about four teenage girls who form a girl group. The film's soundtrack peaked at number 33 on the Billboard 200, and has been certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA. The original four girl lineup went on to star in the film's sequel, released in 2006. The film's soundtrack was their first to enter the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, and has since received a platinum certification from the RIAA. Following the departure of Raven Symone from the group, they released their first Christmas album, Cheetah-licious Christmas, and their official debut album, TCG. Bailon and the other remaining members of the group went on to star in the 2008 film The Cheetah Girls: One World, which was filmed in India. The film's soundtrack peaked inside the Top 20 of the Billboard 200, and has sold an estimated 300,000 copies in the US alone.
