Justin Jeffre grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio and - like Nick and Drew Lachey - attended the School for Creative and Performing Arts. In fact, Justin and Nick performed together in several groups during and after high school, including a barbershop quartet and an oldies cover band. While on break from studying History at the University of Cincinnati, Justin got a call from Nick about a vocal group in L.A. that Jeff Timmons had started. The combination of Nick and Jeff's tenors with Justin's rumbling bass was perfect - now all they needed was a baritone.
