NLT

The short-lived boy band NLT (NOTHING LIKE Them) are perhaps best remembered for what occurred after their breakup, instead of what occurred throughout their brief existence. Put together by R&B maker Chris Stokes, NLT started taking form when Stokes booked an area dance studio room in LA to carry rehearsals for any different group, B2K. The studio’s owners experienced a child, Vahe “V” Sevani, with musical dreams of his personal. Informed by Stokes that his demonstration would be provided a shot so long as he was a part of an organization, Sevani began searching for additional singers. Initial on his list was Justin Joseph “JJ” Thorne, who experienced caused him with an instructional dance video (and experienced also, coincidentally plenty of, appeared inside a B2K video). Immediately after, Dallas-based performer Kevin McHale was discovered via an agent, who also known a theater acting professional called Travis Garland towards the group. Stokes authorized the group — right now a fully shaped quartet — to his very own TUG Entertainment label and enlisted longtime affiliate marketer Marques Houston (aswell as Troy “Treezah” Johnson, Timbaland, as well as the Underdogs) to collaborate on materials for an record. NOTHING LIKE Them was established for release through the summertime of 2007, prefaced using the one “That Female.” Although many follow-up singles had been released, NOTHING LIKE Them under no circumstances materialized, as well as the record was ultimately canceled. Left without record to market, the people of NLT known as it quits in ’09 2009. Kevin McHale was the initial NLT veteran to resurface, showing up later that season as a impaired choral pupil in it show Glee. It had been through Glee that McHale produced his official Compact disc debut, and he performed multiple tracks in the show’s soundtrack series. In the meantime, Travis Garland continuing focusing on R&B-influenced music using the blessing of Perez Hilton, who were able to protected him a high-profile appearance on American Idol this year 2010.
