Take 5 was one of the many bands that became a project for entrepreneur Louis J. Pearlman. The five members (brothers Ryan and Clay Goodell, Tilky Jones, Stevie Sculthorpe & TJ Christofore) decided to form a band late 1997, after meeting up in Orlando, Florida. They first targeted the West European and Asian market before focusing on their home country. In 2000 Stevie Sculthorpe left to try his luck as a solo artist. Afterwards, the band didn't survive much longer.
