The Lead
Originally Howie D. was the lead singer of the Backstreet Boys. He was one of the band’s founding member. In fact, he and A.J. McLean were the original duo. When Howie brough the band together, he was the lead until of course the dynamic shifted. In their 2015 documentary, Howie admitted, “At the time, I was a little bit jealous of the situation — that I didn’t have the opportunity to be the singer that I was before I started [in] the group. I had to really take a step back and say, ‘This is about being in a group. It’s no longer the I, it’s the we.”
