Formed in Miami in 1997, Nonpoint is an alternative metal/rap-metal foursome that consists of vocalist Elias Soriano, drummer Robb Rivera, guitarist Andrew Goldman, and bassist KB. Occasionally, the bilingual Soriano (a native of New Jersey) sings and raps in Spanish, although the vast majority of Nonpoint's lyrics are in English. Goldman and KB, meanwhile, are ex-members of a South Florida band called Fuse. (The name Nonpoint is derived from Nonpoint Factor, the name of an outfit that the New York-born Rivera led in Puerto Rico before moving to South Florida.)
