Nick's Bio

Nick Lachey was on summer break from studying Sports Medicine at Miami University in Ohio when he got an invitation from a high school friend to join an up-and-coming vocal group in Los Angeles. Nick had always been torn between his loves of sports and music, but it appeared that music would win out this time. Shortly after joining Jeff in California, Nick realized that his friend, Justin, and his brother, Drew, would fit perfectly in the group. A few phone calls, several plane flights, and thousands of driving miles later, the foursome was complete.

Quotes

"Most brothers at this age might be living in different cities and see each other only on the holidays. It's great because we're there for each other. It's an 'I got your back,' type of thing."

"I kind of like headstrong women. I like to deal with a little adversity and have a struggle every now and then."

"We want to make history. Twenty years from now, I'd like to think that 98° will leave a lasting impression."
