I describe myself like this:
"Serious, concentrated on my work in the group. It's often good to be a perfectionist, but it can also be bad. Sometimes it can get to much. But I can let it go to sometimes. There's a time to be serious and a time for games."

I describe the other guys in the group like this:
"Brian and Nick - Both like to be clowns. Sometimes I have to look after them and make them calm down, when it's necessary. (Kevin has saved many interviews in that way!)
Howie - A genuin good person with a good heart. He's the peacemaker of the group.
A.J. - Theatral, dramatical a real story-teller!"

Background:
"I've always sung and taken drama-lessons. I've also been in a lot talent shows and played at restaurants and weddings."

Ambitions:
"That BSB will have a long, shining carrier!"

My childhood:
"I spent my first nine years on a 10-acre farm and the next eight in a modern-day log cabin. I had a great childhood and loved school. I also played Little League football, rode horses and dirtbikes. Sometimes at night I sang into a hairbrush in front of my bedroom mirror. I was very happy! As a high school fresh man I received my first keyboard. I spent my adolesence in chorus and drama club.

Did you know...

... that he thinks his voice is to low for singing, but perfect for a spoken word? Like in I'll Never Break Your Heart and Darlin'.
... that he once embarrased himself by falling flat on his back, when they were performing? In fact it was in June 1995 and the Backstreet Boys had a perform in a High School "Saying-goodbye" party. The stage was totally wet, and during the performance he slipped and fell on his back on the stage, all the girls were laughing at him, and Kevin was totally red.
