Not only could AJ sing and dance, he was a natural dancer. He learned ballet, jazz, and hip-hop. A.J. was cast in the Nickelodeon series "Welcome Freshmen" and auditioned for other Nickelodeon shows and also Disney projects. He met Howie and Nick at one of these auditions.

His Early Life

Growing up in a single parent household, one becomes dependent upon a good support system. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends all pitch in to help a single parent get through the day. From the time he was a wee bitty lad, Johnny and his Mum lived with Grandma and Grandpa in Nashville, Tennessee. It was Grandpa who would get Johnny to and from his various extra-curricular activities. When Grandpa became afflicted with diabetes in his late fifties, little was known about the disease. The family took all of the necessary measures. Everything was done that would enable him to get through the rigors of daily life while at the same time taking care not to disrupt his daily routine. But there was always the element of the "unknown" lurking in the back of the family�s mind.

"Empty Nest Syndrome"

Back in Nashville, Johnny had fallen in with the wrong crowd. As a result, there was a case of mistaken identity. This landed Johnny in prison. In his absence, his Mum and his Grandparents began suffering from "empty nest syndrome". In an attempt to quell these feelings, they got a dog. This pet became the center of their lives. On a routine trip to the vet it was discovered that the dog had been stricken with diabetes. If little was known about humans with diabetes, even less was known about animals with diabetes. The family once again took the necessary measures, the dog continued to bring them much joy and life went on.

Boy, what a bunch of Diabetes in his family

After serving his time, Johnny was released and back on the streets of Nashville. He found time to check in with his family whenever he could. It was on one such occasion that he found out some disturbing news. His uncle had just been diagnosed with diabetes. This was one of the very few people in his life who had been a constant. Johnny did not take the news very well.
