Aj Mclean was born on January 9, 1978 in West Palm Beach, Florida. He endured a rocky childhood, dealing with his parent's (Bob and Denise) divorce when he was still young. This affected him deeply, and he became angry and defensive. When the worst was over, little AJ found his love for performance. He was a child model for a few years before he gained a role as the dwarf 'Dopey' in the play 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarves'. By the time he was twelve he had performed in 27 plays! Thus began a career that would dazzle the world and amaze all who knew him. AJ began to focus on his love for dance, in which he took ballet and dance every day for two hours. No wonder he is such a good performer! Through all of this Alexander continued his acting, and in 1990 he moved to Orlando to focus on his acting career. He attended a private acting school and acted in small plays and modeled periodically. One of his acting jobs includes Nickelodeon's "Welcome Freshmen".

In 1992 AJ attended a Latin Carnival talent competition, in which Howie was also a part of. After the competition he met howie, and they became friends. Auditions were then participated in by both Howie and AJ together. In another talent competition both AJ and Howie met Nick, and the rest is history.

AJ is the member of the band who is the 'cool' one because of his numerous tattoos, hair colours, and piercings. He has 11 tattoos (that are known!) - two on his back, five on his right arm, three on the other, one on his belly button. The tattoos are: a dragon on his right shoulder blade, a snake on his right, chinese symbols on his right forearm, 'laugh now' on his right arm, a cross with 'bone' (his nickname) on his right upper arm, a circle aroung his belly button, and his initials in a tribal language in his upper left arm. He has a piercings in both ears, and one on his lower lip. AJ has jokingly said that dying his hair is one of his hobbies, and it seems that way! His hair colours have ranged from red to blond to black. He is also rarely seen without his trademark sunglasses.

AJ says that the one thing that he likes about girls is their eyes. He doesn't care about their body type, but they have to have a great personality and sense of humour. He also likes long hair and long fingernails. His dream date is whatever the girl would want to do...if she wanted to go to the movies or a restauraunt that would all be fine with him!
