Garcia has a long singing history. She started her singing career at the age of five alongside her sister, participating in singing contests. The Madrid-born star then joined a band in her teen days. Garcia released her first single, "Shout", in 2002.
In 2007, the 54-year-old released her first album, "¡Quiero Vivir!".
Five years later, she released her second album, "My Time - EP". It included three music videos for her songs "Over & Over", "Ur Girl" and "U Drive Me Loca". Former WWE Superstars Candice Michelle and Torrie Wilson made a guest appearance on "U Drive Me Loca".
Lilian Garcia has her own band too, "The Fuse". She spoke about it to WWE.com:
"I was actually doing some work with Ben Moody from Evanescence. I told him I wanted to put a band together. He hooked me up with Barry Squire in L.A.; he works for [Musicians Institute] and puts bands together for people and record labels. So I contacted him and we held an audition and the process was amazing. The talent in L.A. is incredible and it’s really hard to narrow it down, but I narrowed it down".
"We’ve gone through a few changes just because of scheduling. My drummer actually got picked up by CeeLo Green, so that was pretty cool. And my keyboard player ended up opening for Katy Perry. I was so happy for them, but that shows you the caliber of musicians I have. The guys that came up behind them are just as good. It’s just been a blessing and the personalities [are great], we get along so well."
