This summer The Early Show Plaza
is coming alive with some great concerts.
Friday, May 31, brothers Aaron and Nick
Carter performed a duet they recorded on
Aaron's current "Oh Aaron" CD called "Not
Too Young, Not Too Old," live outside on
The Early Show plaza.
Teen pop star Aaron Carter has joined
forces with his Backstreet Boy big brother
Nick in three upcoming concert events.
Starting this weekend, the brothers will
perform together, singing some of the
many songs they've collaborated on over
the years.
June 1 - Boston's KIIS 108 Great Woods
Radio show
June 2 - Z100 "Zootopia" at New York's
Giant Stadium;
June 15 - KISS "Wango Tango" show at
the Pasadena Rose Bowl.
Aaron, who is 14, is currently out
promoting his CD "Oh Aaron." He recently
completed a 20-city tour in support of that
platinum selling album. His brother Nick
collaborated with him on the project. Aaron
goes into the studio to begin work on his
third album later this summer.
Aaron says he and Nick love working
together and plan to continue to do so in
the future.
"He's my little brother, you know, and I like
to be involved in anything he does, whether
it's big or small," says Nick on The Early
Show.
Aaron says he was only 3 or 4 when his
older brother hut it big in the Back Street
Boys so "I know the Backstreet Boys better
than anyone."
"He's a punk," adds Nick.
Nick, 22, is just releasing his solo album
but says he will continue with BSB. "They
support me and I support them."
Nick is the youngest member of the pop
sensation the Backstreet Boys. Nick,
alongside Brian Littrell, AJ McClean, Kevin
Richardson and Howie Dorough has
helped pave the path for pop bands today.
Their first record release, "Backstreet's Back" turned them into almost
overnight sensations in both Europe and the U.S.
The release of "Millennium" pushed the band even higher on the charts
entering the Billboard Top 200 at number one and selling over 1.1 million
albums in its first week alone.
The album reached five time platinum sales in the U.S.
According to Nick, the Backstreet Boys aren't done yet. Hits from their latest
release "Black and Blue" continue to work their way up the charts throughout
the world.
In February of this year, Nick and Aaron performed together for the first time
during a pay-per-view Valentine's Special called "Aaron Carter's Valentine's
Party."
Aaron received his big break at a 1997 Backstreet Boys concert in Berlin,
Germany. He opened for his brother's group and reportedly stole the show.
Aaron says he's always been interested in music, but probably wouldn't
have pursued it seriously if his brother Nick hadn't been in the business. In
fact, he says Nick was the first person to actually ask him if perhaps he too
wanted to sing.
Aaron's musical caeer actually began when he was seven, when he landed
the position of lead singer in a band called Dead End. Since then he set the
world record for the most hit songs recorded by a person his age in music
history.
Aaron is now working on a new album, which he says will be out in the fall
and is currently in talks to make his movie debut in a tentatively titled film
called "Dudes."
Aside from his brother Nick, Aaron has a twin sister named Angel and
sisters Bobbie Jean and Leslie.
