After the elder three members had finished high school , Allen worked as a perfume salesman and studied courses in accounting and geology ; Andrew studied physiotherapy for two years ; and Burton was studying to be a music teacher . Mike , the youngest member of the group , was doing his Higher School Certificate in his final year of secondary school . The 4 Trax initially gave street performances in the doo-wop style , and after winning some talent quests , they began singing professionally in clubs and built a following . The group sent demo recordings to record labels . On a visit to Sony CEO , Denis Handlin , they performed an '' a cappella '' version of " People Get Ready " , and landed a contract . By 1995 the group felt the 4 Trax name was dated , so they brainstormed alternatives : Mike suggested Human Nature . Allen said , " At first we thought it was probably a bit obvious , because it 's such a well-used term , but then the more we lived with that we realized that it suited us . We were singing '' a cappella '' at the time , and it represented what we were about : Singing was our human nature . " On 1 March 1996 Human Nature released their first single , " Got It Goin ' On " , which reached No . 19 on the ARIA Singles Chart . It was co-written by the Tierney brothers with their producer , Paul Begaud . At the ARIA Music Awards of 1996 they received their first nomination , for Best Talent for " Got It Goin ' On " . They followed up with " Tellin ' Everybody " in July , which reached the top 30 . The third single , " Wishes " ( 27 September ) , peaked at No . 6 and gave them their first platinum certification from ARIA . " Wishes " was co-written by Alan Glass with its producer , Andrew Klippel ( ex-member of Euphoria )
