history
In November 1997, the then Backstreet Boys manager Johnny Wright placed a newspaper advertisement in which he was looking for a new boy band. From hundreds of applicants, he selected the Minneapolis- based brothers Ryan and Clay and their friend TJ, Stevie from Miami and Tilky from South Carolina.
In March 1998 the band performed at a benefit concert for tornado victims in Orlando , where the Backstreet Boys could also be seen. Around this time they also became known for their single I Give . The single was about a girl named Danielle, who played the youngest members of the band and best friends TJ and Clay against each other and thus put their friendship in danger.
In the same year they toured Germany together with Aaron Carter , Gil , 911 and No Authority . In the course of this they were promoted by Bravo TV , among others , who arranged a fan meeting with you at the Warner Bros. Movie World theme park , Bottrop .
