Kevin is Brian’s cousin and lived on a farm until he was 9 years old. Later he lived in a log cabin until he was 18. When he was a kid in school he played little league football, rode horses and dirtbikes. He got his first keyboard when he was a freshman and was a member of the school’s drama club and chorus. Before he joined BSB, he worked at Walt Disney World in Florida.
His favorite color is royal blue. His favorite food is ‘mom’s cooking’. He likes to make the most of the little time that he has so that he can concentrate on getting his personal life in order.

When he gets back to his hotel room after a concert he likes to watch TV, read, write music and play video games with Nick. There’s just no time for sleep!
Nickolas Gene Carter
Nick was born on January 28′th, ‘80. He is an Aquarius. His favorite food is pizza and he admits that he eats too much. His favorite beverage is Mountain Dew although many people have emailed me to say it’s Coke. His favorite color is green.
He is a prankster down to the bone. He claims that the worst prank that he has ever pulled is giving his manager fish flavored gum. But, according to ‘Teen Machine’ the group has had their revenge.
Nick had a small part in the movie ‘Edward Scissorhands’.
‘It would be going too far to say I was actually in Edward Scissorhands because I was so far in the background that you can’t tell it’s me. It would be better to say I was on the set of the film… I was in the scene when Edward looks out of a window to the neighbourhood. For a split second he sees some kids playing - one of them was me. I was sliding on a yellow piece of plastic we used to call a Slip n’ Slide. They were long flat sheets with water coming out of holes and were really popular with kids at the time. I had to slide on one in the background of a shot. It was great fun being on the set but it was really cold and they made us do it a lot of times’ He wears glasses sometimes but not because he has to, because he wants to! Rumor has it that he wears prescription glasses and contacts. He prefers brunettes to blondes and rainy days and cloudy skies make him sad. When interviewed on Much Music’s Intimate and Interactive, Nick was the only member of the group who said he wears briefs. The other guys said that they wear boxers. Lately, he has stated that he now wears boxer-briefs.
Nick was born in Jamestown, NY. He moved with his family to Florida when he was 4. A total waterbaby, Nick has a scuba diving license and loves the beach (in fact, his dream-date takes place there!). One of his hobbies is boating but he doesn’t get to do that very much these days because he is on tour most of the time.
Nick is a great drummer and spends lots of time jamming with his friends. He loves Nintendo and football.
Brian Thomas Littrell
Brian, is the sports lover (he adores basketball) of the group. He was born in ‘75 on Feb. 20th. He is a Pisces. He is scared of heights! His favorite food is mac & cheese.
Brian loves his kingsize waterbed bed that he bought for $50. He likes to sleep as much as possible. He learned how to sing when he was a boy in church. He performed in churches and wedding.
Brian is Kevin’s cousin. They both grew up in Lexington, Kentucky. Brian was the 5′th member to join BSB. Brian wrote the song ‘That’s what She Said’. And has also co-wrote many other songs.
Brian says that he needs to ‘eat healthier and start taking better care of myself’. Brian has been known to be a fingernail biter and he loves fast food. His resolution one year was to stop biting his fingernails and he says that he has stuck with it.
In the spring of 1998, Brian underwent elective surgery to correct a minor congenital heart disorder. The surgery was relatively simple and Brian came through with flying colours.
He got married to actress Leighanne Wallance on September 2nd, 2000. Leighanne had been in the BSB’s As Long As You Love Me and All I Have To Give music videos. The wedding was well attended by 300 of their friends and family. For the honeymoon, they went to a private property on a island in the Caribbean. They want to have kids someday, but for now their focus is on their careers.
Howard Dwaine Dorough
Howie D was born on August 22, 1973. He is a Leo. His favorite film is ‘Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory’. He loves to water ski. When he was 3, he jumped onto his gradparents bed and sang ‘Baby Face’ as loud as he could.
Howie loves swimming and racquetball. He was born in Orlando, Florida. His mom is from Puerto Rico and his dad is from Ireland. There are 5 kids in his family.
Howie is a professional dancer and often performs his hip-hop routines at local clubs. He sang in the choir at school and was a member of various community theatre groups.
Howie’s new years resolution was to stop being so insecure. He says that he makes the same resolution every year but has never actually dealt with it. He says that he is bad at making decisions and is always asking for everyone’s opinion. He ends up with too many different opinions and that just makes the decision making process much worse.
Howie is probably the most serious one in the group. But don’t think of him as no fun because he can be just as crazy as the others. Howie seems to be the middleman of the BSB when it comes to settling arguments and other disputes amongst the boys.
Howie’s favorite sweet used to be Gummi Bears, but they’re not anymore, because once he ate too many of them and ‘almost turned into a Gummi Bear!’ (actual quote)
