Well, the story of the Backstreet Boys began quite a few years ago. It all started with the connection of A.J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter. Now these three keep meeting up at auditions, and while they were waiting the would start singing together. Of course, they sounded great and the decided to make a group. Now back in Kentucy, Kevin Richardson flew down to Orlando, Florida and landed a job at Disney MGM. Well he heard about these three guys who were looking for someone to join their group. He got his friend to hook up a meeting with them and there you had it, the forth member of Backstreet. Now they sounded great together, but Lou Pearlman had suggested a 5 guy group, so they still needed one more singer. That's when Kevin called up his cousin Brian who was still up in Kentucky. At the time Kev called Brian was sitting in History falling fast asleep when his parents pulled him of class, and sent him on a plane that very night. And well the rest is history...their first single "We've Got It Goin' On" didn't hit it off in the U.S. as well as it did in Europe, that's why we never really heard of the Backstreet Boys until last year when "Quit Playin' Games" tore up the charts. As for their name, well Brian suggested that the name themselves after the Backstreet Market in Orlando, a local hangout for teenagers.
A self made group, with self made success.
