Former Dream Street Members: Where Are They Now?

While Dream Street’s tenure on the boy band scene may have been fleeting, they provided fans with several dance-worthy pop hits and catapulted its members to well-known solo career acclaim.

The pop group was formed in 1999 by Louis Baldonieri and Brian Lukow, bringing together the vocal stylings of Jesse McCartney, Chris Trousdale, Greg Raposo, Frankie Galasso and Matt Ballinger. During the group’s heyday, they released two albums: Dream Street and The Biggest Fan. However, the group soon disbanded after less than three years together amid a legal battle between management and the singers’ parents.

Their parents previously filed a 2002 lawsuit in New York against Baldonieri and Lukow, alleging that they exposed their sons to alcohol, women and pornography despite being underage, according to a Billboard report at the time. While the band executives denied such claims, the boy band split up and the teens started developing their own solo careers. While the former Dream Street stars went their separate ways, they never forgot their roots.

McCartney later teamed up with his former colleagues to celebrate the life and legacy of Trousdale, who died in June 2020 after complications from COVID-19. Ahead of the group’s reunion, McCartney exclusively revealed he was down to get the group back together.

“Never say never,” the “Better With You” musician told Us in May 2020. “Dream Street was so important for me for the building blocks in my life about recording music, singing and dancing, collaborating and working well with others, so yeah. I’ll never say never, crazier things have happened!”
