Scott Andrew Moffatt
Hi! I'm Scott Moffatt, I'm 15 years old and I'm the oldest member of The Moffatts. My job is to play lead and acoustic guitar and sing lead vocals and harmonies. I've been playing guitar since I was six, when I bought my first guitar, a Fender, from the money I earnt after making a TV commercial for Tomy toys. I'm really creative and started writing songs when I was around seven - I've written over a hundred now! Apart from music I like art (but I hate drawing portraits), and I really enjoy poetry. Nirvana, The Beatles and Radiohead are some of my favourite groups, but I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to music. I suppose I'm quite an independant person - my brothers call me bossy, although I think I'm kinda shy. Sometimes I get a bit insecure and I'm very sensitive - unfortunately. Oh, and I also talk in my sleep - well, that's what Bob tells me 'cos I usually share a room with him when we're touring! If there's one thing I absolutely hate it's when people chew their food in my ears, but apart from that, I'm pretty cool about everything.

Clinton Thomas John Moffatt
Hello! I'm Clint Moffatt, but most people call me CT - short for Clinton Thomas. I'm 14 and the oldest triplet - two minutes older than Bob and four minutes older than Dave! I sing lead vocals and harmonies and play bass. We all write the songs together. I'm quite business minded - in fact, we all are, and we're totally in charge of our careers. I love my job and the best thing about it is playing live. In my spare time I love going out to see movies and watching sports, and although it may sound weird, I like shopping. People think it's strange, but I think it's cool buying clothes! I'm a big hockey fan and my dad built an ice ring at the back of our house which we used to practise on. When we're on tour, I share with Dave, which can be annoying as he snores. I much prefer sleeping in my own room, which I do at home! The thing I don't like is people biting their fingernails, especially as I don't do it! I can be a bit shy, but I'm starting to come out of my shell, thankfully! People say I'm hardworking, but I like having fun and I'm quite strong-minded. One thing I wish I didn't do was get embarrassed easily, but hopefully that won't last forever!

Robert Peter Franklin Moffatt
Hi! I'm Bob Moffatt, I'm 14 and I'm the middle triplet. I play the drums and sing lead vocals and harmonies. I was born in Vancouver, Canada but I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee. In my spare time I enjoy fishing 'cos it's really relaxing and I like watching sport. I'm very laidback and casual, but there are few things that annoy me - like when my brothers try and bother me on purpose. Another thing that really, really bugs me is alarms, especially when they start going off when I'm trying to sleep! I'm a pretty spontaneous and cautious guy and I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to music, but not much else! I leave that to Clint, who'd probably wake up at four in the morning, just to make his bed again! If I wasn't in the band I'd probably be a hockey player as I absolutely love it, and baseball's pretty good, too. My worst habit has to be cracking my knuckles - basically I crack everything on my body and it's a real bad habit, believe me!

David Michael William Moffatt
I'm Dave Moffatt and I was born in British Columbia, Canada. My Birthday is March 8, 1984, and I'm the youngest member of the band - just! My hobbies include collecting money from all over the world and my favourite is a Hungarian bill because it's so big and looks really ancient. I also like to play soccer and read horror books - at the moment I'm reading a brilliant book called It, by Stephen King. I love sightseeing and everytime we visit a new country I try and make sure I have time to look around. I play the keyboards which I started when I was seven, and I also sing harmonies. I really love being in a band and can't imagine doing anything other than music, but if I had to choose a different career I'd probably be an artist - I enjoy drawing portraits, but I'm not that good! I s'pose you could say my weak spot is that I don't listen that well - I have a really short attention span. I'm very talkative, a bit of a chatterbox, but sometimes that can be a bad point too! I'm also humorous, funny, kind and thoughtful, but my worst habit has got to be biting my nails - well, that's what Clint tells me, anyway!
