No Secrets was an American-British girl group with five members: Angel Faith (Angel Marie Faith), Carly Lewis (Carly Sarah Lewis), Erin Tanner (Erin Elizabeth Kaulani Tanner), Jessica Fried (Jessica Allison Megan Fried) and Jade Ryusaki (Jade Alexis Kapololu Ryusaki-Gasper). The group debuted in the United States in 2002 with their single, "Kids in America".
No Secrets was formed by Carly's father, Adrian Gurvitz, who was a music producer from London. She wrote a letter to him asking to put a group together, so they began with Carly. Soon after, Jade was invited to be the next member involved. Carly's mom and Jade's mom were family friends that's how they knew each other. The next member to join was Erin, who is Jade's cousin so they gave her a phone call. Later on, while the three girls did a search, they found Angel in an advertisement for a singing group, and then Angel joined and brought Jessica with her. Once the group line-up had been completed, No Secrets began recording songs for their first album. To make their debut album, the girls worked with a variety of producers and songwriters, including Adrian Gurvitz, Andy Goldmark and Riprock 'n' Alex G. The process took a number of months and wasn't finished yet. they took a break from recording and album prep to go touring and promoting their group. In June 2001, No Secrets joined Aaron Carter in Toronto, Canada, for the shooting of his video "Oh Aaron", and also collaborated in the taping of the song, providing background vocals. they were also featured in another track of off his album. the song was titled "Stride (Jump on the Fizzy"). In 2002, after touring with Aaron for 4 months, they filmed their first video, a home VHS and DVD video named No Secrets - Get to Know Us, and then continued working on the album which was released a few months after the video.
Later that year, the group released their self-titled debut album, with singles of "That's What Girls Do" and "Kids in America", the latter of the two was featured in the soundtrack for 2001 film Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and its music video was included as a bonus for the film's VHS release. Another single on the album was "That's What Girls Do" which has a music video featured. It was also a bonus feature on The Powerpuff Girls Movie's DVD and in the ending credits. The song then made it to a few soundtracks for future productions for The Powerpuff Girls. Also, they recorded "Little Angel Of Mine", for the soundtrack of Stuart Little 2.
