About pureNRG

pureNRG was a christian teen-trio formed in 2006 in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. The trio consisted of Caroline Grace Elizabeth Williams (born 3 January, 1995), Laura Carolyne Joyce Myers (born 21 July, 1995) and Jordan Ryan Yates (born 3 December, 1992). They were similar to Jump5 and other Radio Disney stars, but had a very obvious Christian message on their recordings, and in their live performances. Their road manager was Brandon Hargest, formerly of the teen pop group Jump5. pureNRG got to be the opening act on Jump5's farewell tour, and was on the Winter Jam tour with MercyMe, BarlowGirl and Skillet. Caroline and Carolyne met when they were 3 and attended the same dance class. Jordan became a friend later through him being in their older siblings' dance classes. The band was formed after they went to auditions being held by their management company. After winning, they signed with Fervent Records and started writing songs. PureNRG released a Christmas album A pureNRG Christmas around Labor Day 2008. The album was delayed at first due to both personal issues and busy-work with their previously released albums, but, after some consideration, was finally released. It marked the band's first Christmas album. In late 2008, they also released a remix album with the name "ReNRGized". The band described it as "very eccentric but still having the same kinda music style." In mid-2009, after previous promotion of their new album, their last studio album The Real Thing was released. They released their final album Graduation: The Best of pureNRG on July 20, 2010. The band decided to disband sometime in late 2010. According to an interview with TVoneLife, reasons included "wanting to be kids again" and "get back into school and education". Also according to the same interview, Carolyne went into 9th grade, Caroline went into 10th grade, and Jordan went into 12th grade in the fall of 2010. Their mission was to "entertain educate and promote Christian values to young people. Using wholesome and uplifting lyrics in our music and with music and dance in order to provide positive role-models and we just really hope that we can showcase that being a child of God is just really so awesome and nobody can ever take that away from you no matter what happens and that's just the whole reason that we get up on stage and perform for everybody and they really hope that we can get that message across through our music." They went on a farewell tour in the fall of 2010, celebrating the 5 years of their lives they'd spent as pureNRG. All of the members said they were very sad to be disbanding, but they felt that God was calling them out. Their last performance was at Fellowship Bible Church in Brentwood, Tennessee on March 4, 2011. PureNRG officially disbanded on Friday, March 4, 2011.
