Founded in 2008, Sandoval -- whose namesake is a former member of the short-lived yet highly successful duo Lu -- is comprised of Mario Sandoval (guitar, vocals), Susy Ortiz (vocals), Alejandro Vazquez (drums), and Enrique López (bass). Mario Sandoval (born on October 29, 1977, in Guadalajara, Mexico) originally rose to fame as half of Lu, whose better-known half, pop superstar Paty Cantú, embarked on a solo career in 2009. In the aftermath of their breakup, Mario, who had written the bulk of Lu's material, got together with some of his friends and formed the band Sandoval. They signed on with Warner Music, and made their full-length debut with Lo Que Siempre Soñamos Ser. ~ Jason Birchmeier
