Howard
Dwaine Dorough "Howie"
|
|
When Howie was only three years old (he was born on August 22,
1973),he jumped onto his grandmother's bed and sang her the old
classic song, "Baby Face." Part of the Dorough family
legend includes those times little Howie would jump up on a bed
and start singing and playing his little guitar! |
Back then Howie was a major Michael Jackson. "Michael had a
big influence on my life, in terms of inspiring me to
sing,". "He's a great artist. He's incredibly
talented. When I was a little kid, I had the album Thriller, I
had the Michael Jackson glove, and I even had the
Thriller skateboard!"
However, there was a
point in Howie's early life when he was thinking about another
career! "I had an uncle who was a doctor and my father was
actually a police officer," |
|
Howie revealed in an online
interview. "So it was between those two careers. But once
my sister got me involved at the age of six or seven in theater then I started dreaming that someday
I would be singing live in front of a big audience."
"I really
started performing when I was seven," Howie told 16
magazine. "My first play was The Wizard of Oz -- I played a
Munchkin." But
that was just the beginning. Quickly Howie got into the
fast-track show biz whirl. He performed in Orlando community
theater productions such as The
Sound of Music, showboat, and Camelot; he did a Nickolodeon
pilot called Welcome Freshman, appeared in the films Parenthood
and Cop and a Half, and
"did tons of commercials for Walt Disney World." And,
in his spare time, he sang in his church choir!
Howie knew that show
biz was going to be his life and he even earned an Associate of
Arts degree in music. No wonder many consider him the backbone
of BSB. He's always looking ahead to the future. But Howie
doesn't forget those who have been there all along the way.
Especially the original grassrootsBackstreet
Boys fans. "I'd just like to tell them, thanks for all the
support," he told a Teen Beat reporter. "We've been
gone for a while and I want to thank them for constantly
supporting us. Now we're back home and now we're ready to take
on America and hopefully we can have the same support and keep
the BSB pride alive!" |
