Eldest brother Scott was born on March 30, 1983 in Whitehorse, Yukon. Less than a year later, on March 8, 1984, triplets Bob, Clint and Dave were born in Vancouver, British Columbia. Although born on the same date, Bob and Clint are identical twins while Dave is a fraternal triplet. Growing up in Tumbler Ridge and later Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, The Moffatts learned singing early in their lives and singing country music with their mother, Darlana and father, Frank Moffatt, first appearing on-stage in 1990. In 1992, after performing at large-scale country music festivals, the group was nominated for five awards by the British Columbia Country Music Association.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1992, the Moffatt family moved to Branson, Missouri where they performed at the Osmonds theatre. In March 1993 they moved to Nashville, Tennessee were they became regulars on TNN's Nashville Now with Ralph Emery. In October, they joined the cast of the Country Tonite show at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. In 1994 Country Tonite opened a new theatre in Branson and the Moffatts became a part of that cast. In June 1995 they released their first country album, titled The Moffatts. In 1996, the brothers' parents divorced and the boys lived primarily with their father, who also managed the group until their 2001 break up.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn their teens, the group dropped out of the country music genre and recorded a new album, Chapter One: A New Beginning, and began singing pop/rock music. Prior to their teens the band would only sparingly perform their own instruments and had a back-up band, but now chose to go it alone with Scott on lead guitar, Clint on bass guitar, Dave on keyboards and Bob on drums. Lead vocals on the album were shared between Scott and Dave, however live they all took their turns. Chapter One sold more than two million copies worldwide and almost went double platinum in their native Canada. It was produced in part by the Berman Brothers (who also worked for Hanson and Real McCoy) in New York and Toronto. One single on the US version, the Glen Ballard-produced \"Until You Loved Me,\" appeared in the Drew Barrymore film, Never Been Kissed. \"Misery\" in Chapter 1: A New Beginning (US Version) is on the soundtrack of the movie Teaching Mrs. Tingle starring Katie Holmes. Chapter One was also very popular in Europe. During their stay in Koln Germany The Moffatts met a young German guitar player German teen idol Gil Ofarim and co-wrote with him what was to be his breakout first single \"If You Only Knew\".\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe follow-up album Submodalities was released in October 2000, and contained a more classic/harder edged rock flavor than typical \"boy band\" fare. The transition between the bubblegum pop of their prior album and the harder edge of the new was captured in the 2001 documentary, Moffatts: Closing of Chapter One. The Moffatts wrote or co-wrote almost all of the album songs. Bob Rock, who has produced albums for such superstars as Metallica and Bon Jovi, produced Submodalities. The album was also certified platinum by the CRIA selling over 100,000 copies.. The first single, \"Bang Bang Boom\" at that time was the fastest rising single to # 1 in Canadian music history and topped the retail singles chart in Canada. The Ottawa based radio station Hot 89.9 declared the band, the best new band of 1998.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/The+Moffatts","playStationPath":"/stations/268798163/play","stationId":268798163,"bioPath":"/music/The+Moffatts/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Kyle+Riabko","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/24b/24b13e235126dd7edb189d24e4a95c3d_md.jpg","artistName":"Kyle Riabko","artistId":127872,"station_id":284832765},{"musicPath":"/music/Karl+Wolf","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a0c/a0c8974318487086c71281773724a08d_md.jpg","artistName":"Karl Wolf","artistId":122626,"station_id":283861293},{"musicPath":"/music/Michael+Learns+to+Rock","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d3e/d3e831b74a410da2105dd7b720693a64_md.jpg","artistName":"Michael Learns to Rock","artistId":12191,"station_id":113275261},{"musicPath":"/music/Matt+Mays+El+Torpedo","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/6a2/6a20d08450cfb70d32964c64b3521584_md.jpg","artistName":"Matt Mays \u0026 El Torpedo","artistId":101832,"station_id":280763933},{"musicPath":"/music/Kaci+Brown","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/985/985c6146eae94768681c6a7f0f2e176c_md.jpg","artistName":"Kaci Brown","artistId":12498,"station_id":113398530},{"musicPath":"/music/William+Tell","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/761/7617edc7ac92a202c2116ca149fd4bc9_md.jpg","artistName":"William Tell","artistId":101658,"station_id":280763809},{"musicPath":"/music/Jimmy+Ray","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/761/76116287f20b4554d26bafc980bcfe74_md.jpg","artistName":"Jimmy Ray","artistId":10115,"station_id":114292574},{"musicPath":"/music/Sara+Paxton","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/86b/86b6915dc4719b602f587c5a540847a2_md.jpg","artistName":"Sara Paxton","artistId":10774,"station_id":113271992},{"musicPath":"/music/kreesha+turner","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ad4/ad4826ba16024285b834c0ad9ac51f62_md.jpg","artistName":"kreesha turner","artistId":119590,"station_id":283329175},{"musicPath":"/music/Low+Millions","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/929/9294fe9f27a908d3bac5c412c63fa847_md.jpg","artistName":"Low Millions","artistId":116780,"station_id":283168137},{"musicPath":"/music/Emma+Roberts","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b36/b3622a0fd6588b04ae0e9b86a49d2c8e_md.jpg","artistName":"Emma Roberts","artistId":103394,"station_id":280596206},{"musicPath":"/music/Kristina+Maria","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/daf/daf80040e89da2a521b7b087668c5bb9_md.jpg","artistName":"Kristina Maria","artistId":127504,"station_id":284746834},{"musicPath":"/music/Keshia+Chante","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/11d/11d521f158a4efd34a8e74b63b3dce79_md.jpg","artistName":"Keshia Chante","artistId":109274,"station_id":281864136},{"musicPath":"/music/Saving+Jane","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9ae/9ae7b1f2c8c403dad188b77971fe14a8_md.jpg","artistName":"Saving Jane","artistId":10489,"station_id":113309643},{"musicPath":"/music/Andy+Stochansky","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e2b/e2b0370129efec800212560ccb0aa80e_md.jpg","artistName":"Andy Stochansky","artistId":103699,"station_id":287828516},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Reason+Emo+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2de/2de9c11d891a05cb81b1b3289eb310e4_md.jpg","artistName":"The Reason (Emo)","artistId":111811,"station_id":282283771},{"musicPath":"/music/My+Favorite+Highway","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/182/18239e0ca9977e24d37266497b79832b_md.jpg","artistName":"My Favorite Highway","artistId":74311,"station_id":266169722},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Latency","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/85d/85d166267ca2f0a50609d199666c7efc_md.jpg","artistName":"The Latency","artistId":129248,"station_id":284994176}]}
