By fourth grade, after his family moved to Florida, Nick landed the lead in Phantom of the Opera. He was also a featured vocalist at Tampa Bay Buccaneer pre-game shows for two years. At age 12 he put in a winning performance on the 1992 New Original Amateur Hour, and did commercials for both the Money Store and the Florida State Lottery. Nick was offered a gig with Disney, but decided to go with the Backstreet Boys after that first night of harmonizing.

It was there that high school students AJ McLean, Howie Dorough and junior high student Nick Carter began to run into each other at local acting auditions. The three young men became friends and formed a singing group, inspired in part by Boyz II Men and Color Me Badd. The trio then decided to expand, by two. They met Kevin Richardson through a mutual friend. After scouring Orlando for a fifth member, Kevin thought of his cousin Brian Littrell, who was in Kentucky. A phone call was made, Brian relocated and The Backstreet Boys were ready to write the first chapter of their story. 50 Backstreet Facts 1 Backstreet Boys received their very first Triple Platinum award thanks to their loyal fans in Canada- especially in the lovely city of Montreal. 2 Backstreet Boys won the 1996 Select Award from MTV Europe, beating out such tough competition as Spice Girls, Oasis, Jamiroquai, and Boyzone. 3 The Backstreet Boys are named after Orlando, Florida's open-air shopper's paradise, the Backstreet Market. 4 Nick and Brian usually share a hotel room when they are on the road. 5 A.J. still doesn't have his drivers license!
