To All Our Devoted Fans! GOODBYE
September 9, 2009 - Wednesday
| After much consideration and exhausting all our our options for the past 4 years, we are sad to say that The Other Half has mutually decided to end this project. We desparetly worked hard together for so long that it got to the point where we as a band weren't making any significant progress as a whole or team. Fortunatly, this wasn't a split based on a fight or a problem between any of us and I am happy to say that we all remain close and hope to work on music in the future together. As for now, the curtain has closed, but Im sure it wont be the last you see of us. Jason, as a guitarist remains devoted to his craft and continues to make music everyday, he is brilliant. Our newest member, Rich, has incredible talent, he will go far! Mike. The man has worked his entire life and devoted his heart and soul into his greatest and truest love and knowing that about him he will undoubtedly be successful in so many ways, I have faith in all of you. As for me, Im searching and looking and Ive got the love and support of all my true friends! Im never gonna stop singing.....ever! So everyone take care-We love you forever! THE OTHER HALF *In a week this site will be closing down |

Q&A With Andrew Fromm About Working With BSB
Posted: Jan 9 2009, 06:17 PM
Andrew Fromm, songwriter and friend of Nick Carter, take's some time for Q&A with some Backstreet Boy Fans!!!!
Have you worked on any uptempo songs with BSB? Or just ballads?
- I usually try to write the ballads mainly because alot of the uptempos are written by the big producers who use the hottest most up to date beats and sounds. Ballads are a bit more timeless and intimate when you really nail one that's special.
Ok I have one about I Need you tonight,was that song always supposed to be just Nick singing it solo and the boys doing the background vocals.
The song that you co-wrote with the boys for the new album that you hope to make it on there will it be a ballad and what can you tell us about the song ?
- When I wrote I NEED YOU TONIGHT, I was just a young teenager completely upset over a girl who wouldnt love me back the way I wanted her to. She left my house and in my crushed moment, I wrote I NEED YOU TONIGHT. I had no idea it would be used several years later for Backstreet Boys.
I wrote a few with Nick although Im not sure any are going to make it. They sorta switched directions a bit.
Quick question...was it tough to shift your writing at all to accommodate Kevin leaving the group?
- I didnt write anything that Kevin didnt sing. He left after my last cut with the guys. Although, its probably easier to write for 4 part harmony than 5. Kevin's always been a good dude though. It was great to catch up with him a bit at Howie's wedding.
Show Me How To Love Again is a song that Nick wrote with Desmond Child a few month's ago do you know what it sounds like? Is Dan Muckala going to have any part on this album? How bout Jeffrey Steele?
- Unfortunately, Id rather not commhttp://bsb-siberia.de/styles/coffee ... ic1.gifent on songs for the new album etc although I was involved in the co-write with Jeffrey Steele.
What's your favorite song you've written for the guys?
- That's like asking who your favorite child is! lol I may be slightly partial to I NEED YOU TONIGHT only because it's one of the only songs I've ever written by myself.
Who produced the songs that Nick let you listen to you yesterday? and have you heard of the song Hologram by Brian Kennedy, is it the first single?
- I know Brian is involved but I think its way too early to tell if a song will be the first single or not in my opinion. You gotta have all the songs in first to make that distinction.
- Not close. Once they gather a group of songs, the label, management and the guys decide which they want to go in and cut. It's a long process usually. Lots of cooks in the kitchen!
- I'm not sure when the single or new album will be released. I'm sure they will let you know when the time is right. Based on what I've heard though, get excited. Hehe As I mentioned earlier today, I hope I can land one on there. If not, I'm happy when my close friends do well regardless.
Are you collaborating with Howie on his solo venture? I couldn't help but notice several songs you've written for spanish speaking artists. Do you speak Spanish or are the songs written in English then translated over? Which isn't always easy to do. BTW thanks for answering questions for us.
- Howie is literally like a brother to me. He and I have written probably a dozen songs through the years but distance makes it hard. We wrote in Florida last year a little with a mutual producer friend. Not sure if any of those few songs will make it but we'll see. I'm sure he and I will be writing more again soon.
I dont speak Spanish but several of my songs have been translated in Spanish.
Do you think the songs the boys write will be on the album and two.is the song you wrote about love or heartbreak? thanks.
- Im not sure. I cant speculate on what will be on their new album. Sorry I couldnt be anymore helpful.
I hear you have dabbled in Christian music...have you ever thought about or been inspired to write with Brian on his next solo cd?
- Being I love ballads, its a great fit to write in the Christian market. I have a single about to come out on Francesca Battistelli called BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL. Shes GREAT. Also, may land on Natalie Grants album and just finished writing with a GREAT young artist named Britt Nicole who I think I landed a few on.
Regarding writing with Brian, I'd love to if he ever asked me to.
How did you manage to help write such a personal song in "How Did I Fall In Love With You?"
- That song came out of no where. I wrote the melody in literally 3 minutes, recorded it down with my co-writer Callum Macall. Howie just so happened to be in London at the same time I was. I brought him into the session the following day and the lyrics were written. Howie laid down the vocal on the demo and the rest is history. It made the record.
Your friends with Rami Yacoub as well...is he planning on working with the guys?
- Rami is awesome. Great friend. Not sure about his involvement with the new record or not.
Yeah you friends with Ryan Tedder, he did a few songs for the new album?
- I know alot of Ryans friends but havent met him. Id love to. Not sure whats making this record.
Do you know if the boys plan on going to Sweden at all to record or are they just going to stay in LA or Nashville maybe again?
- Not sure
So is nick gonna be in Nashville at all during recordin? Or LA ?
- Not sure. Id say mostly in LA this record. Nick just left Nashville 2 days ago to head out to LA for the next few months.
Do you think the songs that you've heard so far that it will be like the Millennium or Black and Blue albums where they balanced them out with equal ballads and uptempos?
- I know they want to "somewhat" get back to the old sound when they sold gagillions of albums.

... Lastly, as some of you know I have over the last year been working with other artists on their projects as a co-writer. Over the past week I've been spending a lot of time with Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys. We wrote a killer song together called "Scream" and recorded (demo) it yesterday. The boys recorded a song Ryan Tedder and I wrote called "Undone" a month ago, so this new one will either be for the BSB fellas or maybe Nicks solo project. Hes a great guy and we will be cowriting a ton over the next bit. Cant wait for you to hear both! Stay tuned... And speaking of "great guys" I leave for Atlanta tommorow for radio stuff, and will actually be staying the night there for 3 nights. I am gonna be working with my buddy Elliott Yamin! He is there working, and I spoke to him last night and we're gonna get down on some new songs for his project. Gonna be hot! Lots more stuff in the works, I'll keep you posted...

... Por ultimo, como algunos saben en este año eh estado trabajando con otros artistas como escritor. Y durante la semana pasada estuve trabajando con Nick Carter de los Backstreet Boys. Escribimos una cancion muy buena que se llama "Scream (Grito)" y la grabamos (como demo) ayer. Los chicos hicieron una cancion con Ryan Tedder y que yo escribi que se llama "Undone (Sin hacer o desecho)"hace un mes, esto es nuevo, dentro de sus proyectos, tanto para los BSB como para Nick como solista. El es una gran persona y estaremos escribiendo mucho mas. No puedo esperar a que lo oigan. Esten pendientes.

Question: Where did they go? Answer:........
Testing! Testing! 1-2-3!
Hey guys......I guess you've been wondering what ever happened to that band The Otherhalf?! Are they just a live band? Will they ever come out with an album? Whats goin on!????
Here we go....
After Seans departure on bass a few months back the band decided to take some time and regroup as it was a major blow to all of us. Life began to take over and really shake things up.... for everyone.... Sometimes so much bullshit gets in the way that you wonder if you'll be able to recover and stay on course. It's times like these that truly test a human being and their commitment to their craft.
Needless to say, we've come out on top yet again and will soon introduce our newest member, Mark Ceolin. Stay tuned for brand new music, a brand new look and more updates.

Monday, November 10, 2008; Case of the EX
So I really should not be wasting my precious time on such a ridiculous subject but Im feeling in the mood to write about it and I know some of you ladies out there can totally relate. I broke up with my then bf now my ex and did the typical thing saying lets be friends but the thing is I meant it with all my heart.
I mean you see someone for almost 4 years and just cutting them out is a hard thing to do but I've managed pretty well except for the fact that you know maybe I am wrong......I totally respect that its not my relationship anymore. Is anyone out there still friends with an ex??? I know plenty. Its a sad situation and quite stupid when we are all intellegent human beings capable of common decentcy with one another so heres my analasis on the whole situation JEALOUSY its def an evil thing I've learned that in these past 4 year. I just hope that one day people can grow up and let it go....a relationship isn't about control its about life and the people in it. So anyway if I sound like a stupid girl for even talking about it oh well at least I got it off my chest and can be the bigger person.
And by the way calling some me fat, transgender and masculine and whatever the hell else you said only makes you look like a fool. Im confident in who I am and dont need to look down to your level to hear the shit you throw my way maybe find something new to call me. I've been callled fat my whole life at least be original idiot. One last thing too, I wrote a kick ass song about this drama cause you just dont get it!
Remember to always take a negative and make it a positive.
If you feel me say AMEN! HAHAHA
I will always be real!
(discalamer: this message is NOT to any of my fans I love you guys and would appreciate your honest opinion cause sometimes I'm totally off on my point of view)
Saturday, November 15, 2008; It worked
(just a note to everyone who doesnt already know, my personal blogs dont reflect the boys of TOH in anyway)
I usually use my blog to vent and figure things out. When I wrote my last blog I was talking about and ex a loooong time ago and so may say well whatever thats in the past but regardless its my feelings and my point of view and because o that blog I was able to speak to that man in question and evn his new gf, we are all cool with each other and now I dont have to think about unresolved issues its done!
But I would like to say that I may have gotten a bit catty and posted her url on my blog but afterward Mikes like "you know your fans love you right and your kinda unintentionally sicking them on her" so I apoplogized to her personally for that over email and its all good.
Now as or what Im doing over the holidays it looks like my family and I are getting together with my mom in Buffalo NY to spend some quality time. I hate it that the only time we get together its when Nicks in town for a show but either way its time well spend and a hell o a show they put on.
Its funny all these metal head girls and guys that Im friends with who didnt like BSB now say they love them and have a whole new respect for them. KINDA FUNNY : )
I wish everyone so much love over the holidays and have fun, and maybe even reach out to a family member your not cool with anymore, you never know what could happen! Damn I sound very Disney but its true.
And as always tell your friends about my band The Other Half!

Saturday, November 22, 2008; Nick Cancels Show Due To Sickness
Just wanted to inform all the BSB fans out there that I have spoken to Nick and my family and my brother was in the airport on his way to a show a starting getting a high fever and unfortunatly had to spend the day in the hospital instead of making the show, hes really sorry to dissapoint all of his fans and not be able to make up the show but as far as we know its nothing serious he is okay.
I appreciate all of the fans keeping in touch and wanting to know whats up? Nicks not very good at writing blogs on a regular basis so Im doing it for him. I know how hard Nick works and he usually performs even when hes a bit sick so if he cant make a concert never ever assume or believe any rumors of him being neglectful to his band and fans. He loves you all!

Great News About My Show Leslie Carter:Maid to Rock
So I just got done reviewing the final edit of my TV show and you have no idea how exciting it is, how professional and amazing well put together it is. It is really one of the biggest acomplishments of Mike and I's life. I can't wait for everyone to see what The Other Half and I have been working on this last year. The only thing that sucks right now is my production company wants us to keep it top secret.
During this time of year because of the holidays everything really slows down but at the beginning of the year is when we make our move. I'm sitting here with my whole family except for BJ because she had to work, here at PEAKIN PEAK a ski resort in New York State. We are having a great time except for me I'm stuck here waiting for my contacts to come in tomorrow, I dropped one today on the ground like an idiot and cant find it so I cant ski yet sad.gif but there is always tomorrow. Great time to write a blog though and btw I apologize if my spelling sucks hence IM BLIND!
So anyway thats the update for now.....me and Mike and The Other Half and my entire family wish all our friends and fans a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! We love you! I will see about posting some pics for yall!!

BMW
Im selling my precious BMW as the ultimate sacrifice so I can buy a tour van for The Other Half at a very good price if you know anyone in the states interested in buying my car go to this link and make a bid on ebay. This car was the car on House of Carters and has a lot of sentimental value to me but I gotta do this for the band so whatever you can do to pass the word along I would greatly appreciate it : )
Love Les

Soulless....not me
A lot of people have been writing me and asking why the sudden name change and I wrote fuck you if you don't like my family. Obviously, thats not meant for any of my friends its for those haters that add their two cents in from time to time trying to screw with my life and the people that I love.
I am aware that its always best to take the high road with situations such as this but I just get so pissed off at times and do want to defend myself. I was watching a show the other day (not gonna say what it is cause its not worth mentioning) and they were making fun of my entire family putting us down and to me I'm thinking "wow kids watch these shows and just learn thats its cool to tease people and not in an SNL way its in a hurtful way." That, I believe, can have a life-long lasting impression on kids and the world just gets crueler and crueler.
Just because people are successful doesn't mean they deserve to be teased for the rest of their lives, seriously lets all just grow up. Thats where I'm at right now, thats my mindset. I know brush it off my shoulders, be better than that but if I continue to ignore my natural human feelings wont that make me a stone cold soulless bitch? .......yes. Bottom line it hurts enough already!

Soulless....not me
A lot of people have been writing me and asking why the sudden name change and I wrote fuck you if you don't like my family. Obviously, thats not meant for any of my friends its for those haters that add their two cents in from time to time trying to screw with my life and the people that I love.
I am aware that its always best to take the high road with situations such as this but I just get so pissed off at times and do want to defend myself. I was watching a show the other day (not gonna say what it is cause its not worth mentioning) and they were making fun of my entire family putting us down and to me I'm thinking "wow kids watch these shows and just learn thats its cool to tease people and not in an SNL way its in a hurtful way." That, I believe, can have a life-long lasting impression on kids and the world just gets crueler and crueler.
Just because people are successful doesn't mean they deserve to be teased for the rest of their lives, seriously lets all just grow up. Thats where I'm at right now, thats my mindset. I know brush it off my shoulders, be better than that but if I continue to ignore my natural human feelings wont that make me a stone cold soulless bitch? .......yes. Bottom line it hurts enough already!

Thursday, October 18, 2007: The LiveDaily Diaries
First of all, to all of you who are my friends I just want to say thanks. I have set my privacy settings so only my friends can view my profile because I want to be able to write on my own blog and not be judged so much, I believe that on my own page I should be able to express my true feelings to the friends I do have out there because you guys are the ones who send me emails about your stories and I listen and take it in. I feel better because of you all believe it or not, the last thing that I want is pity, but if I feel like shit I feel like shit i dont deny it, Im as real as it gets.
One thing I would like to say is LiveDaily I personally love message boards and this is one of the best sights out there, people can say anything they want and that is their right I would never want to stop that, sometimes they can make you feel so bad though, the only thing I can be sure of is that people out there are intelligent, we are all pretty smart and can see when people are stirring the pot to plug their band or telling lies just to get attention because it makes them feel better, for those of you who can read between the lines I say thank you, you are awesome. I'm not always right, I dont claim to be this perfect human being who never makes mistakes. Im lucky enough to have friends out there who say Leslie that was *ucked up or your wrong because sometimes you need a good kick in the ass when your being a jerk. So I guess this kinda concludes my thoughts for now I will of course be writing later, and also for those who pick on my family and claim to know me, thats old news find something new to talk about, we definatly wont mind : )

Friday, April 04, 2008: Entry of my thoughts
Not to many people know who I really am outside of my life in the public eye. I guard my life carefully and so I have very rarely been hurt. I consider myself a hard working person who knows that it’s important to give in order to get. Most of my time is spent on my true love, music. Music plays the biggest role in my happiness and sadness. It’s a constant struggle trying to find my way in this industry.
I began quite a while ago, at the age of 10 I was in a studio recording my first song. It was a remake of The Carpenter’s "Merry Christmas Darling", I looked up to Karen for her voice and the control she had, she had the most beautiful sounding voice but also I heard the pain in it as well. It wasn’t long after recording that song that I was thrust into an extremely fast and heartless world of endless self doubt and people pleasing. I hated every minute of this new life. I wanted to be normal. I didn’t realize that people could be so mean to a young girl, looking back on it now just pisses me off. All those idiots were lifeless whores who almost managed to suck the life and humanity out of me.
I was lucky enough to get out when I did. I left, just picked up at age 16 and moved away from my family after my failed attempt at a childhood singing career. I just wasn’t what they were looking for, this including my family as well. Much is expected of me, I get looked at differently, treated differently, I get called a bitch by someone and then approached by that same person 5 minutes later for an interview. Just because I didn’t respond to your hatred and immaturity does not mean I didn’t hear it. I get tired of being under estimated but I have to ignore it otherwise I become that of which I despise. I don’t want to write here all of my so called accomplishments such as platinum record, or whatever.
I feel very comfortable about where I stand nowadays. I used to take for granted the things that I have. I’m 21 years old and have a whole shit load of life left to live. I’m having fun being myself for the first time comfortably and no matter how much some people will doubt me or say that I’m useless and won’t make it as a singer should just know this, you don’t know me, what I’m capable of and how much spirit I posess, you don’t know what I have seen and learned from you don’t know my family, Im sad to say that a lot of people from my point of view seem to be walking robots with none of their own thoughts. I think its time that we get control of ourselves again and ask ourselves. Is this really what we want?? No wonder were all Angry deep down inside.

Update (Big girls dont cry 2)
HAHAHA Sooooo after allllll I DID end up having a kick ass time going out and getting over my so called birthday blues. Earlier in the day I started off with a speed boat rental that I got to drive myself, all over Ontario lake and by the CN Tower, after that a bit of shopping and then some unluckiness.... my car got towed for the first time in my life, totally shitty, but after that did some pre-drinking and then got a ride in a red Ferrari to the club. It was nice to have my closest friends coming from all over the place just to celebrate my life with me.
I didn't end up throwing up either (ewwwwww) : ) which as I have been told by many is a birthday tradition, I spent most of the night feeding the two bottles I had gotten from the night club Circa here in Toronto, to everyone else and as I progressed more and more vodka was flowing down peoples shirts rather than their mouths. I guess Im bad at pouring while slightly intoxicated ; )
Another one of the things I end up doing is wandering off when Im drunk but fortunately Mike had a whole group of friends looking out for me the entire night. So there it is friends do it all, the get you in just enough trouble to make you feel like your having fun while at the same time keep your from losing it all. What a nice thing huh?
Love you guys for coming to my b-day it was fun and I didn't cry once!

Sunday, September 21, 2008: Nashville
I just got back from Music City which is in Nashville, Tennesse. I had a great time, not only did I get a massive amount of things done I also got to take a bit of a vacation with Mike. Mike doesn't always get over the border because when your a musician it can be looked at like your trying to escape to my country or vise versa. Its pretty shitty at those times, very very stressful but this time things worked out for the best.
We worked with 3 writers and of course came back with 3 new songs to add to our list. I know a lot of people have been wondering what is going on with The Other Half and I can only say the truth and that is the music industry is filled with so much competition but sometimes its not even good competition its just overpopulated with people who shouldn't be doing it. I'm not saying that certain people shouldn't follow their dreams, I'm just saying not everyone can do this. Its takes a huge huge huge, and I can't stress it enough, amount of sacrifice its a difficult job and career and we work on it 24/7 we live in a live-in rehearsal place get on each others nerves and create amazing songs and ideas. I believe with all of my heart that things are coming together just the way they should and at the speed it should so here is the quote to sum it up and say everything "anything good is worth waiting for...."
I refuse to put out shit music
I will never do it
I will not sell my soul to a label
I will not compromise my better judgement
I will never leave these guys behind
Screw the industry and what it wants I'm a real person, I get it.....do you?
Friday, November 07, 2008: LESLIE: MAID TO ROCK
Holy Crap the year is almost over and normally it really wouldn't matter to me because I used to live in Florida and its always sunny there, well not always but compare it to Canada. I really miss my family tons as you can see my sisters are in my profile picture but I will be seeing my bro on Sunday when he comes to Hamilton we'll have fun as usual and all is well with the rest of my family....everyone is on speaking terms, Aarons getting his shit together finally and I am very proud of him for that. The only person no one in out family that we dont speak to is our dad but thats what happens when he doesnt answer any of his kids calls but whatever screw it sometimes you just gotta make yourself happy. Oh yeah and speaking of happy that is exactly what I am along with being completely exhausted from non-stop filming for a week. See Im not sure who know or who even cares but I actually got my own reality spin-off based on my life and The Other Half. It was so much fun doing this whole process, the only thing that felt weird was that my family wasn't around and as much as they piss me off at times it was then that I realized how great of a support system they are fighting or not. Sometimes you just need to see the face of the ones you love, but regardless I toughed it out and made it by without them. A little part of them probably doesn't believe that this is happening for me but Im grateful and if it seems like the band is getting left in the dust have no fear we are all in this together. Everything at this point is about timing and no matter how hard it gets I wont give up on being a great performer and singer.
Mike and I are still going strong we fight and we make up, we are passionate and sometimes we cant even be in the same room as each other but our lives are so intertwined and wrapped up with in each other that its hard to walk the line or should I say straight line, so much has happened for the both of us and we love each other and our band and our music. I really hope that all the effort of this project will finally be revealed and our show will get picked up. Please show support if you want and by the way its called:
Leslie: Maid to Rock
Did you know that I clean houses for a living, well there you go! lol
PS Im totally not lying.
Anybody want to start a website for the new show let me know and we should know by January if it gets picked up. WISH US LUCK!

Thursday, October 09, 2008: About The Other Half
So I haven't written in a bit but its because its hard to keep up with so many things at once but luckily I know our fans understand. The guys in the band usually leave most of the internet duties and managing blogs and emails and setting up meeting up to me. I love these guys but at the same time they are boys. They just want to write songs and play music so I take care of a lot of things. I really try hard to do my best to keep all our fans informed so heres whats up.
Our managers feel like we have something special going on here, we have a full album of material that sounds truly unique and totally The Other Half. I wish so bad that we could post all the new songs up but its basically TOP SECRET lol also we have already started filming our reality show based on the band we have been working on getting this project(the show) since January and now everything has fallen into place. Its kills me knowing what we got but knowing that we can't share just yet, so please until the time comes we are gonna have to all wait but it will be worth it. I know all this hard work will lead to great things!
Just as an additional note thank you so much for continuing to come to our page and listen to our songs everyday when we look at your emails and see the progress right in front of our eyes its what helps us get by when times get tough. A musician's life is challenging to say the least but its what we love.

You're all right........progress report.
Every single one of you guys are right.....I'm never on here anymore!!!! I see some of the comments and the support from people I've never even met and it blows me away.....Thank you.
Last night our band did a warm-up show in downtown Toronto, the first show for our brand-new and solidified line-up with jay eldon. We feel we've got the right ingredients now, the right attitude, the right frame of mind. Every time we get together it's a party.
It probably didn't seem so awesome for Jay last night as the moment we plugged in our gear to play, his guitar amp flashed bright yellow as it began to fry (Thanks go to the band who was so kind to let us borrow their gear). This was followed by a broken beer bottle he was drinking from having a shard of glass missing, etc........everything that could go wrong last night did and I couldn't have been happier because in spite of everything we still pulled through.
Leslie sounded amazing last night as she keeps building her strength with her vocals and getting re-aquainted with the stage....she's got some serious pipes now. I figure a few more shows and she (along with her attitude) will be unstoppable.
Making ends meet is challenging when you're fighting for your life. To others it seems like an un attainable pipe dream....especially when you watch so many of your peers catapult into the position you have set out for yourself. I've been up the mountain and have fallen down plenty of times....now I feel like I'm half way back up and have very firm footing while my binoculars focus in on the summit.
I'm tired of watching the parade pass me by.......it's time to make our very own the way we see it.

Sunday, September 14, 2008: UPDATE!
Quite a bit has happened since we last posted on Myspace...so I'll give you a breakdown:
In august we did a handful of performances to showcase some of the new songs we're working on. We wanted to see what the fans responded to...kind of like a test run. At the last show we had a guest appearance from Leslie's bro Nick and it was a blast.
Since then we've regrouped and are we're focusing on writing to a much greater degree. We want our songs to really pop for you. There is so much we want to write about....
We'll be performing again Oct, 2nd so keep your eyes peeled for more updates and future news.
Y'all come back now ya hear!

Tuesday, September 16, 2008: Writing Blog from Nashville!
I'm sitting here in a studio on Nasville's "Music Row" just steps away from the very place that Elvis and Johnny Cash recorded many of their hits. Down the street stands a house on the corner where Garth Brooks recorded every one of his major hits....and oddly enough, it all looks like one of toronto's small residential areas.
We're working with a guy named Terry Sawchuck, who through a short discussion we realized he hails from my small, industrial hometown of Espanola in Northern Canada....almost a thousand miles away. Small world.
We talked about how my mom taught him in elementary school and laughed about her notorious past teaching methods. Both Terry and Leslie then retreat to writers room 4 in the studio as they pound out ideas and melodies for a new song that sounds like they're digging up some dark anthem no one has discovered yet.
There is a certain buzz in the room as there are a few more rooms occupied by other country artists and singer/songwriters. Everyone in passing is very welcoming and very Southern....I feel very fortunate to be in my shoes right now being a part of this all the while remembering where it is this all came from.

FIRST AND FOR MOST I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE CONTINUOUS SUPPORT I'VE RECEIVED FROM MY PEERS,FANS,AND FRIENDS.
SINCE THE DAY OF MY 18th BIRTHDAY I HAVE BEEN FOCUSING ON DEVELOPING AS A PRODUCER , AND WRITER TO BECOME A TRUE ARTIST.
I KNOW I'VE BEEN MISSING IN ACTION BUT TO ALL OF YOU,
IN THE LAST 2 YEARS OR SO I'VE EXPERIENCED THAT THERE ARE ALWAYS PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA BRING YOU DOWN BECAUSE SOMETIMES AT FIRST YOU MIGHT NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR THERE EXPECTATIONS, AND THE BEST ADVICE THAT I COULD GIVE TO EVERYONE OUT THERE IS THAT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS REMAIN TRUE TO YOUR PASSION DONT LET ANYONE STAND IN THE WAY OF WHAT YOU TRULY LOVE .WE ONLY LIVE ONCE AND ANYONE CAN ACCOMPLISH A GOAL THAT THEY SET THERE MINDS TOO ...
ALSO TO EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD ANY MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT ME DOING A SHOW "CELEBRITY REHAB" THE ANSWER IS "NO"!!
VH1 HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME THEREFOR' I HAVE NOTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY.
AND TO ALL OF MY FANS WHO HAVE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING I COULDN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR SUPPORT I KNOW IT'S BEEN SOO LONG AND ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ALMOST GIVEN UP HOPE
I UNDERSTAND THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF RUMORS BUT IT IS TIME FOR ME TO SHOW ALL OF MY FANS WHAT I'VE BEEN WORKING ON
I "KNOW" YOUR WAITING AND I DO "NOT" INTEND ON LETTING YOU DOWN I WANNA BE ONE OF THE FIRST ARTIST'S IN A LONG TIME TO SHOW YOU THAT THIS TIME OFF HAS BEEN DEDICATED TO MUSIC
MY STYLE HAS CHANGED I LOVE IT AND THATS ALL THAT MATTERS
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING AND IM SORRY I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO RESPOND TO EVERYONE BUT I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN .......CHECK OUT SOME OF THE NEW BEATS AND IF YOUR REALLY CRAVING FOR MORE I MIGHT JUST PUT SOME MORE UP
Primero y más que nada quiero agradecer por el continuo apoyo que he estado recibiendo de mis peers (es como personas muy cercanas), fans y amigos.
Desde el día que cumplí 18 años me he enfocado en convertirme en productor y escritor para ser un verdadero artista.
Se que he estado perdido pero esto ha sido por ustedes, en los últimos 2 años o mas he vivido algunas cosas que siempre la gente que te ayudan porque a veces al principio no crees que sea suficiente para sus expectativas y el mayor consejo que les puedo dar es que ustedes siempre deben recordar cual es su pasión y no dejar que la gente intervenga o que sirvan de obstáculos para lograr lo que realmente aman. Nosotros vivimos solo una vez y cualquiera puede lograr su meta.
También para todos que tienen una idea equivocada acerca de mi protagonizando el programa de “Celebrity Rehab” la respuesta es “NO”!! VH1 siempre ha sido muy buenos conmigo y por ello no tengo nada malo que decir.
Y para todos mis fans que han esperado pacientemente no he podido agradecerles suficientemente por su apoyo se que ha pasado mucho y se que muchos de ustedes se han rendido hacia una esperanza yo entiendo que ha habido muchos rumores pero ahora es tiempo de demostrarles a todos ustedes mis fans en que eh estado trabajando y “se” de su espera y “no” intento decepcionarlos quiero ser uno de los primeros artistas en mucho tiempo en mostrarles que todo este tiempo fuera ha sido para dedicarme a la música, mi estilo ha cambiado y lo amo y es todo lo que importa.
Gracias por todo y lo siento si no he podido responderles a todos pero no los decepcionare… Chequen algunos nuevos beats y si desean mas quizás suba más.

Prayer Chain for our father, Hoke Dorough
As some of you may or may not know, our father was diagnosed with cancer in his lungs and brain at the end of March. In April he went through three weeks of radiation treatment to his brain. Unfortunately the results were very disappointing. The cancer and tumors in his brain have increased. Throughout this time my father has been very brave and positive with everything. He is not giving up and has opted for more radiation treatment to his brain, which is the maximum amount that the brain can tolerate before doing more damage. After he finishes the radiation treatment he has also decided to proceed with the chemotherapy treatment for the cancer in his lungs. There is no cure for his cancer, but hopefully the treatments will contain the cancer from spreading more, which will prolong his life with us. At this time he is physically very weak from the treatments. We believe in miracles and the power of God and I am asking you to pray with me and my family for a miracle for my father, Hoke. God hears us when two or more come together in his name. Thank you in advance for your prayers, love and concern.
Sincerely,
Howie & Pollyanna Dorough

The BSB Set the Word Straight on The Apprentice
Posted: Apr 22 2008, 05:52 PM
Sunday, April 20, 2008
Backstage at their sold out show at Rotterdam's Ahoy Arena, Nick Carter was aksed by the press about the Backstreet Boys recent guest appearance on the top rated US television show, THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE. "It was an amazing experience," said Carter, "and such a great opportunity to raise money for all of the charities involved in the show. Althought I have to tell you, we were really surprised at how many people took us seriously when we gave those difficult tasks to Trace Adkins, all in the good spirit of the show. We like the guy and thought it would be great to have some fun with him and add more excitement to their final challenge."
"The Backtreet Boys are an international phenomenon and it was an honor to have them appear on 'The Celebrity Apprencite' finale," said Donald Trump. "The good natured conflict they had with Trace resulted in some of the show's funniest moments."
Meanwhile this year's tour dates have been very successful for the boys. Highlights of this year's tour include over 72,000 fans attending their stadium shows at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, their first time visiting new cities in China, and sold out shows at key markets like Holland and the new O2 arena in London. Upcoming tour dates also include first time appeances in South Africa and Russia.
Los productores de El Aprendiz, ayer lidiaron con la prensa:
Se vendio todo para la arena Rotterdam Ahoy, Nick Carter fue questionado por la prensa acerca de la reciente aparicion, como invitados del topshow más visto en USA, El Aprendiz Edicción Celebridades. "Fue una experiencia asombrosa", dijo Carter, "como una gran oportunidad de recaudar fondos para todos los programas de caridad que estaba involucrado el show, aunque te tengo que decir algo, realmente estabamos sorprendidos por toda la gente, por sus reaciones cuando le dimos esas dificiles tareas a Trace Adkins, de buena manera lo hicimos por el show. Nos agrado Trace y pensamos que seria divertirnos jugar/burlarnos de el un rato y así agregar como más emocion al desafio final"
"Los Backstreet Boys son un fenome internacional y fue un honor que fueran parte de la final de El Aprendiz Edicción Celebridades," dijo Donald Trump. "El conflicto que tuvieron con Trace, resulto ser uno de los más divertidos en la televsion."
Mientras tanto este año ha sido exito para los chicos con su gira. Un aproximado de 72,000 fans asistieron a su concierto en el Tokyo Dome en Japon, ellos estan visitando por primera vez ciudades como China, y han vendido por completo sus boletos en Holanda y la nueva O2 Arena en Londres. Las siguientes fechas del tour incluyen paises que tambien visitaran por primera vez, como Africa del Sur y Rusia.

From 2005: Kevin On SoupNatural Sound Track
Posted: Aug 6 2008, 10:19 PM
Did You Know Kevin was on SoupNatural Sound Track
Kevin Richardson
Almost a decade after his life as a Backstreet Boy began, Kevin Richardson is as humble as he was the day it all started. Enjoying the moments and embracing the opportunities, Kevin has undoubtedly come a long way but he still holds close the people and memories that have helped guide him to this place in his life.
A native of Lexington, Kentucky, Kevin grew up singing in church, playing sports and enjoying the outdoors. Music was always a constant and as a teenager he was often seen jotting down lyrics or playing the piano. In high school, he was involved with activities ranging from musicals to football. His desire for perfection led him to success in everything he did and helped him develop a work ethic and personal versatility that would drive his future successes.
In the early 1990's, after graduating from high school, Kevin moved to Orlando, Florida to pursue performing opportunities. It was in Orlando that Kevin met up with Nick, Howie and AJ and together they formed the Backstreet Boys. Soon after becoming a group, Kevin invited his cousin Brian to join and the rest is Backstreet history. Since the Backstreet Boys began they have seen record sales of over 65 million albums world wide, have sold out countless tours and have received a multitude of awards acknowledging their exceptional harmonies and contributions to pop culture.
Kevin has also become an active advocate of colon cancer awareness and prevention, a cause that has become particularly important to him since losing his father, Jerald Wayne Richardson, to the disease in 1991. In 2001, Kevin joined several congresspeople, including Congresswoman Slaughter of New York, on Capitol Hill to introduce the "Eliminate Colorectal Cancer Act." This was established to promote early detection and treatment of colon cancer.
In 2003 Kevin made his Broadway acting debut as the super-smooth lawyer Billy Flynn in the musical "Chicago" (a role he also played on the London West End stage and at San Francisco's Golden Gate Theatre). In addition to his work in "Chicago," Kevin also performed in several regional theatrical productions during his hiatus from Backstreet.
Kevin also founded the Just Within Reach Foundation (JWRF) – an organization bearing the initials of his late father - dedicated to providing education and promoting personal responsibility for keeping the environment clean of potential cancer-causing pollutants and toxins. Kevin has worked tirelessly the past several years to help further the goals of JWRF, including participating in the Olympic Torch Relay in honor of the foundation and testifying before a Congressional committee. Through the foundation, Kevin has also distributed over a dozen scholarships to environmental science majors and has worked with National Geographic to make an educational video on heroes in American history.
Moving forward Kevin hopes to continue his outreach by lending his voice, time and passion to the Natural Resources Defense Council and Kentuckians For The Commonwealth. Currently, Kevin resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Kristin, and is preparing for the release of a new Backstreet Boys album in June of 2005.

Howdy,
March 19, 2008 - Wednesday
The song on the Shakertown Myspace was written by Keith and I demoed it for him. It isn’t a solo project song. I should put a foot in his ass for posting it! Just kidding. I am experimenting with my music though and if I think it is good enough, I will do a solo project.
Peace and love,
Kevin
