LMNT is a now-defunct pop music boy band formed in 2001. The group's name is pronounced "element," and was selected by the band's original line-up from contest entries solicited by Teen People magazine.
Three of LMNT's five members first met as potential candidates for ABC's 2000 reality television series Making The Band. Thousands of young men auditioned for what would eventually become the boy band O-Town. Hawaii native Ikaika Kahoano was originally selected as one of the five winners but an undisclosed dispute caused him to back out of the line-up.
