TREVOR
How did you get started in performing?
I GOT STARTED IN MUSIC WITH O-TOWN. I ACTUALLY NEVER REALLY TOOK DANCE CLASSES OR VOICE LESSONS. I ALWAYS FELT COMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF CROWDS, BUT I WAS MORE INTO ACTING. WHEN I SAW THE AUDITION I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD MAKE THE BAND.
Tell me a funny story about a performance?
ONE TIME WE WERE DOING A SHOW IN NEW YORK AND I HAD ON WARM UP PANTS THAT SNAPPED UP THE SIDES. I DON'T WEAR UNDERWEAR AND MY THUMB GOT CAUGHT ON MY PANTS AND OPENED THEM ALL THE WAY UP. I HAD TO RUN OFFSTAGE BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT TO BE EXPOSED.
What's one of your unique hobbies?
I AM OBSESSED WITH THE TV SHOW, "SAVED BY THE BELL." I AM A TRIVIA NUT WHEN IT COMES TO THAT SHOW. NO ONE CAN BEAT ME ON THAT SHOW'S TRIVIA.
ERIK
Who has inspired you to be who you are today?
MY MOM AND DAD INSTILLED MY WORK ETHIC. THEY WORK EXTREMELY HARD AT WHAT THEY DO. THEY HAVE A PASSION FOR THEIR FAMILY THAT HAS MADE THEM WORK SO HARD. MUSICALLY, BOYZ II MEN REALLY INSPIRED ME. I HAVE BOUGHT EACH OF THEIR CDs SEVERAL TIMES.
Has anything embarrassing ever happened to you on stage?
I WAS IN L.A. AND WE HAD A WARDROBE CHANGE FOR OUR SHOW AND I HADN'T TRIED ON THE PANTS AND DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED A BELT. THEY WERE WAY TOO BIG. I WAS TRYING TO DANCE AND THEY FELL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND I WAS TRYING TO DO THE SHOW WITH ONE ARM WHILE HOLDING THEM UP. THEY PUT TAPE ON ME AND SPUN ME AROUND AND USED THE TAPE AS A BELT.
ASHLEY
How did you get started in music and dancing?
MY MOM WAS A PIANO TEACHER, SO I GOT INVOLVED IN MUSIC AT A VERY YOUNG AGE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTO THEATER AND MUSIC. I DECIDED I WANTED TO BE AN ACTOR AND I WAS AUDITIONING FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS. I GOT HOOKED UP WITH THE ONLY ACTING STUDIO IN THE AREA NEAR MY SMALL TOWN IN CALIFORNIA.
What has it been like being followed by cameras constantly?
AT FIRST I HAD TO TRY TO PRETEND THEY WEREN'T THERE AND THEN AFTER A WHILE, I GOT USED TO IT AND HARDLY EVER REALIZED THEY WERE THERE. IT'S EVEN BETTER NOW THAN IT USED TO BE. IN THE BEGINNING WE HAD EVERYTHING SET UP FOR US AND NOW WE HAVE MORE SAY AS TO WHAT HAPPENS. OF COURSE THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I JUST WANT TO BE ALONE, LIKE WHEN I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO BREAKDOWN, BUT THAT'S WHAT THE CAMERAS WANT THE MOST.
JACOB
How did you get started performing?
I WAS IN A THEATER GROUP CALLED "CYT" WHEN I WAS IN THE 5TH GRADE. BEFORE THAT I WAS JUST WATCHING MICHAEL JACKSON AND TRYING TO COPY HIS DANCING.
How was it for you to see Michael Jackson at his 30th anniversary concert?
IT WAS AMAZING BEING AT MICHAEL'S SHOW. IT WAS AWKWARD FINALLY SEEING HIM DANCE WITHOUT A TV SCREEN IN FRONT OF ME. I BOUGHT TICKETS SO I WAS ON THE FLOOR. I'VE BEEN STUDYING HIM SINCE I WAS LITTLE, SO TO FINALLY SEE HIM LIVE WAS INDESCRIBABLE.
DAN
What's the best and worst part about being a pop star?
THE BEST PART IS THAT I GET TO DO WHAT I LOVE EVERY DAY. I DON'T EVER HAVE TO WAKE UP AND THINK I DON'T WANT TO GO TO WORK TODAY. MY LEAST FAVORITE PART IS THE LACK OF PRIVACY. I GET REALLY FRUSTRATED. I DON'T LIKE THE PRESSURE THAT'S PUT ON MY PARENTS AND BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
What role do you play in the group?
I THINK I'M THE FATHERLY ONE. I CAME IN LAST, SO I AM REALLY RESPONSIBLE. I'M ALWAYS THE ONE WHO DOESN'T WANT TO WASTE TIME AND WANTS TO BE ON SCHEDULE.
Tell me something about you that fans might not know.
I CAN JUGGLE AND SO CAN TREVOR. MY FAVORITE FOOD IS CHICKEN PARMESAN AND I ESPECIALLY LOVE ORANGE JUICE AND GLAZED DONUTS !
