Nick Lachey
As the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC redefined pop music
for the masses upon the closing of the 1990s, 98° were also making
girls scream and swoon with their darling good looks and delightsome harmonies.
Fronting the vocal group was the svelte charmer Nick Lachey. This onetime
sports medicine major was a bona fide star thanks to his sensitive performance
style, and a career in Hollywood seemed destined for Lachey.
Born Nicholas Scott Lachey on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee in
fall 1973, he and his younger brother Drew excelled in sports and academics
while attending Cincinnati's School for the Creative and Performing Arts.
There, the Lachey brothers honed their vocal abilities, but it wasn't
until Lachey was a student at Miami University in Ohio that he found himself
seriously considering a career in music. He and soon-to-be bandmate Jeff
Timmons were invited to attend auditions for an up-and-coming vocal group
in Los Angeles. Drew Lachey and pal Justin Jeffre jumped aboard shortly
thereafter and 98° was sired.
The band went on to release four albums (all of which went platinum),
and singles such as "My Everything," "Way You Want Me To,"
and "Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)" became chart and radio
favorites across North America. Just as the boy band phenomenon began
winding down somewhat, Lachey felt it was time to focus on other artistic
ventures. The second tenor married his longtime girlfriend, singer Jessica
Simpson, in fall 2002 and launched a solo career. He and Simpson instantly
became A-list celebrities when their MTV-based reality show, Newlyweds,
captured American audiences in 2003. While their show was still going
strong, Lachey issued his first album for Universal, the R&B/pop-flavored
album SoulO, before the year's end. In between albums, Lachey tried his
hand at acting. He appeared in several episodes of the WB's Charmed in
2004 and 2005, and a small part in the Nora Ephron comedy Bewitched. Before
the year's end, Lachey and Simpson announced their separation. In the
midst of a tabloid field day, Lachey resumed his recording career in spring
2006 with the release of his second album, What's Left of Me. ~ MacKenzie
