He stands a mere 4 ft 5 inches tall. He sports a blond head of hair, that more often than not, hangs straight down in front of his eyes. He has more bounce than a Mexican jumping bean. He is the adorable little brother of the youngest Backstreet Boy. He is Aaron Carter and he is here to entertain you.
Born on December 7, 1987, a minute after his fraternal twin sister, Aaron is the lasts of the Carter clan. Early on, it was evident that he would follow in his famous brother's footsteps. At the age of seven he formed a band with three of his classmates from Rock School in Tampa, Florida. The boys named themselves 'Dead End' and they played in such places as the local library and various coffeehouses around town. The group split up in 1996 due to their differing tastes in music.
It was around this time that Aaron began to really concentrate on perfecting his craft. He spent numerous hours with a vocal coach and soon found himself recording his very first single, entitled "Crush On You". It was during a special appearance at a Backstreet Boys concert in March of 1997 that Aaron's fate was sealed. A record executive from Edel Company in Germany caught his act and was so impressed by what he saw that he wanted to sign him on the spot. From then on is history in the making.
For Aaron, 1997 turned out like this:
No. 4 on the German charts
No. 6 on the Australian charts
No. 7 on the UK charts
No. 8 on Norway and Denmark's charts
...and all by his 10th Birthday!
With the American release of his debut album 'Aaron Carter', 1998 is sure to be another BIG YEAR!
