From the time he was a toddler, Nick was an entertainer.
His family gladly tells tales of their baby boy, wearing only diapers, bustin' a move on the dance floor of a club his grandfather owned.
In the fourth grade, the showbiz bug bit when Nick landed the lead in a local production of Phantom of the Opera. He entered lots of talent shows, and remembers one in which he tried an emersonation of Elvis- leg shake and all! "I had to try," he told Live&Kicking magazine. "I'm not really a dancer though. You gotta remember, I was really young when I started doing that stuff."

Nick and Tampa Bay
(cont.)
But he was doing something right and was soon featured vocalist at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers pre-game shows. This NFL gig lasted two years, and when Nick was twelve, he won top prize on the 1992 New Original Amateur Hour TV show. Local commercial gigs came quickly after that, and Nick kept busy performing and auditioning at Tampa and Orlando events. Even though he was only in junior highat the time, Nick made friends with two older guys he kept running into at the same gigs- AJ McLean and Howie Dorough. The three started harmonizing together as a way to pass the time during the long waits at auditions and performances. |

Cont.
Today, of course, Nick is a full-fledged member of the Backstreet Boys, and living on his own. But don't try to find Nick's address. He already had to move once because he was tired of being hounded by fans. And boy, do fans run after him! Even though he's the "supposed" heartthrob of the group, Nick is surprisingly shy. "I'm a very quiet person," Nick told Teen. "I consider myself a modern-day hermit. I'm happy if i"m in my hotel room just chillin'." |

Nick's Secret
"There's a side of me that nobody knows because I never tell anybody ... In school I was a nerd, I was one of those kids who walked down the hallways always with his head down. I never wanted to get involved in conversation. I wasn't very personable."
-From The Heart and Soul
