Who are Big Time Rush?

Big Time Rush, the American pop music boy band, was formed in 2009. Also known as 'BTR,' it had four members: Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Logan Henderson, and Carlos PenaVega.

The group received fame when they starred in a Nickelodeon series that fictionalized the formation of a band, also named "Big Time Rush." The series ran from November 2009 to May 2013, with 74 episodes spanning over four seasons.

BTR continued to tour until March 2014 before eventually announcing its disbandment. However, six years later, the band virtually came together to perform for fans.

Carlos PenaVega has been the most active of the quartet since the band's discontinuation. He has been steadily growing his television career by appearing in shows like "Life Sentence" as Diego (main role).

Carlos further voiced "Bobby" in a 2019 Nickelodeon animated series called "The Casagrandes."
