The group grew up together in Houston's notorious Yellowstone neighborhood located on the southside of the city. While attending Jack Yates High School, in 1991, Keven and Solomon Conner formed a band with Jackson. They were known as "The Gents" and recorded their first album "It's No Dream" with producer Phil Blackmon. Shazam was chosen as lead singer at the time of recording this album, which featured the ballad "A Time for Us". Unfortunately, the album was not successful after being available locally. They later recorded tracks and performed at talent shows and plays before a local producer sent their demo tape to onetime 2 Live Crew rapper and record label executive Luther "Luke" Campbell. After an impromptu audition, Campbell signed the group to his label, Luke Records. Producer Bishop "Stick" Burrell became their producer and positioned Dino as lead singer, seeing his potential and rare voice as the formula for success in the group and built his sound around him. They took the name of the group, "H-Town", from the local nickname for the city of Houston, Texas, in which they grew up.
