While working on the movie Sister Act 2 Toby Ryan has met Lauryn Hill who later becomes an international star with the Fugees. Toby Ryan and Lauryn Hill still remained friends and when Wyclef Jeanbegan from the Fugees sought for new talents Lauryn recommended City High. All worked well except for Claudette Ortiz. However guys refused to leave her. Despite such a risky move, the trio got the contract with Interscope and made a loud debut with a successful album. However the point why those three are so resonant today is more about their private lives than music achievements.

Claudette Ortiz and Robby Pardio made an appearance on the A&E show telling about their relationship and tough break-up after which Pardio has fallen into deep depression involving seeking relief in alcohol. In the end in 2004 Claudette Ortiz married Ryan Toby. They had two sons. First was born in 2003 and second was born in 2005. Claudette Ortiz also has a baby daughter born in 2008; however her father is not Ryan Toby.

With all that messed-up professional and private life Claudette Ortiz still remains a talented singer that is sure to surprise us.
