Prior to creation of City High, bandmates Claudette Ortiz and Robbie Pardlo dated throughout their high school years.[3] After meeting and performing for Wyclef Jean, they were signed to his Booga Basement recording label. As Wooga Booga already had a duo, they invited Ryan Toby and became the City High trio instead.[3] Following her breakup with Pardlo, Ortiz went on to date Toby. Ortiz and Toby married in 2004, but later divorced in 2007.[4][5]
