History

The group's co-founder was Kandie. The group were formerly named Blush 3, but later renamed themselves UNEEK. However, the name was changed again because other artists had already used the name. The group were finally named 'N'Versity. The name is a take on the words unity and diversity because of the girls' different ethnic backgrounds. As well as appearing on America's Got Talent, N'Versity also appeared in JoJo's music video for her single, "Not That Kinda Girl".
