little Brian was the second son of littrell family. Harold JR. Littrell was their first son,who's three years older than Brian.

As Brian has said in his bio,they grew up fairly middle class. His dad worked at IBM; later they were bought out by a company over in Germany. and this was a company that his grand father used to work there too.

Brian's dad enlisted in the Navy and was in for four years. Right before he left the Navy, he met Bri's mom. His mom worked at a church

Brian was born with a hole in his heart which was discovered at the age of 6 weeks. This was monitored by doctors and all was thought to be well. At the age of 5, Brian had an accident while riding his scooter.He hit the gutter and fell off, scraping his skin. After cuddles and Band-Aids from Mom all was thought to be well again.

But two weeks later, he fell into the path of his brother who was riding a bike, and the bike ran straight over him. Jackie & Harold rushed out hearing the cries of their little ones, and rushed their young son to the hospital fearing he may have a serious head injury. The Littrell family could not have ever prepared for the news that awaited them. It turned out their son, had a blood disease, and had a hole in his heart. "They told my parents to go ahead and make funeral arrangements" explains Brian.

Actually the injury was fine, but while they were there, they discovered an infection had set in from the accident two weeks earlier. He had a blood infection which went straight for his weakest point, his heart. Brian quickly became very sick and he was given zero chance of living.(doctors always say that!!!!!!!now they must come and see Brian!)

Every day his Mom stayed with her baby and prayed for him,but after talking to his Dad's Mom, she began to pray differently. She had told Brian's Mom that Brian belonged to God and he was only here on loan. If God wanted to take him back, she would have to let him go. She,then, prayed to God, that if He wanted Brian, to take him now, so he would suffer no more pain. She thanked God for his short life and made herself let go. From that point on, Brian slowly began to recover. It was a miracle.

Brian got better slowly, but was to take it easy. His parents didn't want him to play the game of soccer he wanted to, and from that he found the game of basketball.

Held back a year at school because he missed so much, he found his best mate, Chris Cawood, and the two of them were always playing basketball together, evenings after school and all weekend. They were inseparable and both dreamed of one day playing for the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team.

However Brian's height led him to missing out on selection for the highschool team. He was always short for his age, and while disappointed, he then concentrated on his singing ability. He sang in his church choir and was even voted President of the Youth Chorus by his peers one year.

"I was known as that blonde-headed little singer boy." Brian

Brian continued to sing throughout high school, and his talent was finally recognized when he performed in a school talent show with a close girl friend (and crush!).

In High School, he was selected in the State Chorus lineups for 2 successive years, a rare achievement for a schoolboy. By 16 he was a sought after entertainer, often booked to sing at weddings and parties.

At 17 and in his final year of High School, he performed in a talent contest with a friend Dawn Crumbaker. She sang the first part of the verse, and when Brian began singing his part, the crowd began to scream and cheer. It was too much for Brian, who, after he sang, turned red and smiled.""I was like Oh my goodness!" says Brian.

That experience triggered his desire to further his singing career. It simmered inside him for the next 6 months, until a call came from cousin Kevin Richardson.

It was 19th April 1993 and Brian was in an American History class. He was called out of class for the phone call, which worried Brian, who thought there was something wrong with his family. But it was Kevin, asking him if he wanted to join a band.Kevin had recently joined a newly formed group, and they were looking for a fifth member in order to produce the kind of sound they wanted and Kevin had suggested Brian.

"I hadn't really heard that much from Kevin since he went to Florida,so he was about the last person I would expect to call. Kevin said, 'I've met these guys and we're starting a band. We've been looking for another member and I've told them about you.' I thought he must be serious, otherwise he wouldn't call from Florida..

"I didn't know if I had the courage to go through with joining the group. I was scared and didn't know what I was getting myself into. I knew I had a good singing voice, but I never really wanted to be in a pop band, or even thought about earning a living in the entertainment business. But I knew I had to go for it, so I said, 'Yes'."

The very next morning, Brian was on the plane to Orlando.(The trip to Florida was his first trip without his family outside his small hometown in South Lexington, Kentucky, about 1400kms away.)

When the rest of the band, AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter and his cousin Kevin, heard him sing, they knew they had found their missing member. Brian had the perfect pitch for the five part harmony they were seeking. And the Backstreet Boys were born!

Their first performance was 2 weeks after Brian joined the group, at Sea World. The date was the 8th May 1993, which ironically was the day Brian should have been at his Junior Prom Dance at Tates Creek High School. The pressure on Brian was immense and the nerves were frayed. They performed 4 songs, it was a huge success, and the Backstreet Boys were on their way...

he is NOT a morning person

he is afraid of heights.

he is the most shy of the guys

he is the one thought most likely to get married first(haha,but Kevykev Married first Bri!!!!).

before BSB, he worked at Long John Silver'.

he's scared of heights, rollercoasters, and ferris wheels..

he is the BSBer most likely to be found in church Sunday morning.

if not for BSB, he would have probably gone to college

he loves the sounds of Babyface

and though it can't replace b-ball, his newest sports interest is golf(Leighanne loves Golf too!)

he is attracted to girls by: He is attracted most to a girl's eyes, but he likes someone to whom having her own career is important and who treats him like a normal person. Since Brian considers himself to be old-fashioned and respectful, he is looking for a girl who shares his values.(and i guess he's found true love,so i guess,i gotta delete this part!)
his dream date is a picnic in the park or a walk on a lake
