The British pop trio BBMak consists of Mark Barry, Christian Burns and Stephen McNally. Unlike many of their teen-friendly peers, BBMak plays their own instruments and write and produce most of their music as well. Barry, Burns and McNally met while they were playing with other bands in Northwest England and, after jamming together for a time, decided to form a band. After recording a demo, BBMak camped outside the headquarters of major labels and performed on the street. A few gigs later, BBMak was the focus of a bidding war and the group soon secured a deal. Their debut single, "Back Here," was a chart-topping hit in the UK and Japan, paving the way for their debut album, Sooner or Later, which was released in the US in spring 2000 by Hollywood Records. Two years later, the trio returned with the glossy pop sounds of Into Your Head.
