Brian Thomas Littrell, commonly being called B-Rok (by friends and relatives) was born on the 20th of February 1975 at Lexington, Kentucky. He is one of the members of the boy band, Backstreet Boys. A member of America's pop superstars The Backstreet Boys, BRIAN LITTRELL now makes an unexpected entrance into the world of Christian music.
The popularity of the Backstreet Boys started in 1995. In 1998, while the band is gaining fame from around the world, Brian had a serious problem. His heart is dangerously growing and needed to be operated. In September 1998, Brian had an open-heart surgery. He needed to stop temporarily with having shows. As the Backstreet Boys are taping the video for As Long As You Loved Me, Brian eyed the model-actress Leighanne Wallace. And on 1999, they became engaged and had their wedding on September 2, 2000. And not too soon, they had their kid, Baylee Thomas Wylee.
In the summer of 2005 Brian's solo single "In Christ Alone" went to #1 on the Christian Charts on July 4 and Littrell was the winner of the 2006 GMA Music Award for Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year, "In Christ Alone," which won both the 1993 award in this category (when recorded by Michael English) and the 1994 Song of the Year at the GMA Music Awards. Brian's first solo album, Welcome Home (You) was released on , 2006, which like the Backstreet Boys projects, is a Sony BMG release. The album peaked at #74 on the Billboard 200 and #3 on the Christian Charts, and has currently sold over 100,000 copies.
On May 10, 2007 he received an award from the Crystal Cathedral for being a positive role model using his music to touch lives in the pop and Christian market, and using his foundation to help children.
