<p style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"><br>MATTHEW- The leader of the group with looks and charisma to spare, a voice that could sell millions of albums and an ease with the audience that makes the girls and boys swoon. A pop tenor. Preferably able to beatbox.</span></p>
<p style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;">MARK- The innocent “bowl of sunshine”.
