In April of 2009, best friends Marcus Collins, JC Fisher, and John Hagen learned that "America's Got Talent" was coming to Texas for auditions. With various backgrounds in the performing arts, they decided to combine their individual talents and become The Texas Tenors. Mixing country and classical music with their own Texas Tenor flavor, they auditioned and ended up as finalists. JC, a family man relies on his family's strong foundation of hard work and faith to guide his everyday life. John, considered the rock of the group, brings a wealth of classical music training along with his baritone voice. Marcus adds a contemporary flair to the group with his unique pop voice and boyish charm.
