Howie Dorough
Howie Dwaine Dorough is currently 25 years old. He started taking singing lessons when he was 8 years old. Did you know that Howie's a bit of a klutz? "I fell down a flight of stairs through some fans at a radio station. My backpack was so heavy I couldn't get up," said Howie. Howie's deep secret is that he likes to help his mom cook breakfast on Saturday mornings. Howie D. gave himself away at age three when he jumped onto his grandmother's bed and belted out his very first rendition of the old standard, "Baby Face." Today, it's really easy to pick Howie D. out of this
crowd--he's the one with the high-flying falsettos. Half-Irish, half-Puerto Rican, Howie D. loves being in the group. Born in Orlando, the last of five siblings, Howie D. has sung in choir,
performed in community theater (Sound Of Music, Showboat, Camelot) commercials (Disney World), a Nickelodeon pilot (Welcome Freshman), and the films Parenthood and Cop And A Half. A professionally trained dancer, Howie D. loves to take his hip-hop routines to the local clubs and also enjoys swimming, water sports and racquetball.
