After Nick and Justin hooked up with Jeff in L.A. and another member left the group, the guys asked Nick's brother, Drew, to complete the foursome.
Drew Lachey, attributes much of 98°'s guys-next-door quality to being from the Midwest. "Being respectful of other people... will get you farther than singing your face off," he told TEEN PEOPLE. "I think our work ethic and being from Ohio [Jeff Timmons is from Massillon; the others Cincinnati], and the upbringing that we had has guided us to where we are."
Drew Lachey was the final member to join 98°.

Nick Lachey
Nick Lachey was on summer break from studying Sports Medicine at Miami University in Ohio when he got an invitation from a high school friend to join an up-and-coming vocal group in Los Angeles. Nick had always been torn between his loves of sports and music, but it appeared that music would win out this time. Shortly after joining Jeff in California, Nick realized that his friend, Justin, and his brother, Drew, would fit perfectly in the group. A few phone calls, several plane flights, and thousands of driving miles later, the foursome was complete.
