A handful of today's most prominent names in the entertainment industry have been a product of Nickelodeon, including Ariana Grande, Miranda Cosgrove, Keke Palmer, Kenan Thompson, Emma Roberts, and Nick Cannon. But as much as the channel knows how to mold young talents to grow up to be the biggest and the brightest, they're also capable of producing world-famous boy bands. Case in point: Big Time Rush.
Comprised of Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Carlos PenaVega, and Logan Henderson, Big Time Rush was once the biggest boy band in the country. The quarter was formed for the sole purpose of starring on a Nickelodeon show of the same name, but their popularity soared and together, they released album after album and toured across the world. At one point, they even had One Direction as one of their opening acts.
But just like any other boy band, they, too, had hit a wall and decided to take a break after more than half a decade of acting and making music. "I think it'll just help the band if we give people time to miss us — it's kind of like a relationship," PenaVega told The Huffington Post (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/big-time-rush-break-up_n_3957495) in 2013. He said that they were all "ready for our individual careers," with Maslow noting that they were "really antsy to be our own individual artists outside the band." And that they did. Before their eventual 2022 reunion, the four-piece launched individual careers and explored their passions.
