Performing is in the Carter family genes with older brother Nick being a member of boy band, the Backstreet Boys and younger brother Aaron having launched a successful music and acting career. Aaron Carter songs are just a part of his success story. Born in 1987, Aaron was always immersed in music and is a versatile instrumentalist, playing guitar, saxophone, piano, and drums. Choreography is yet another string to his bow.
The pop and hip hop scene has rewarded Aaron with chart success and widespread recognition. His debut single and first full-length album came out in 1997. The single was titled Crush on You and the album was simply called Aaron Carter. His 2000 album, Aaron’s Party went triple platinum, no mean feat in such a competitive field. Other albums followed in 2001 with Oh Aaron, and in 2002 with Another Earthquake. A compilation album of all the greatest Aaron Carter songs was released in 2006, titled Come Get It: The Very Best of Aaron Carter. Another album is scheduled for release in 2009.
Every singer likes to have the exposure of the movies and Aaron Carter records have been included on several soundtracks, including Pokemon: The First Movie, Rugrats in Paris: The Movie, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, and The Princess Diaries. In addition to this successful career in records, Aaron has acted in television shows, films and on the Broadway stage. Aaron has appeared in guest roles on the TV hits, Sabrina, The Teenage Witch and on 7th Heaven, in which he plays Ruthie’s boyfriend.
Aaron’s Broadway appearance in 2001 was in the musical, Seussical the Musical, based on the books by Dr. Seuss, in which Aaron plays the part of JoJo the Who. Songs by Aaron Carter can be heard in Aaron’s 2005 debut leading role in a film, titled Popstar. The film was a straight to video production in which Aaron plays a fictional character called J.D. McQueen but the story is largely autobiographical. Saturday Night is an Aaron Carter song in the movie that Aaron performed whilst touring. The Popstar soundtrack was released in the same year and contained five Aaron Carter songs.
Aaron was also involved in a charity record, to raise money for the families of victims from the terrorist attacks of 9 /11. Michael Jackson wrote and performed on the song, What More Can I Give? Unfortunately, the record was never released through retail outlets because of a business dispute between Jackson and his record label, but it was made available as a pay for download. In addition to Aaron and Jackson, over thirty other artists are heard on the record, including Aaron’s brother Nick, Beyonce, Ricky Martin, Usher, Celine Dion, N Sync, and Ziggy Marley, son of Bob.
Aaron also contributed to a celebration of the world of Disney by participating in DisneyMania, a compilation album of various artists in 2002. The song from Aaron Carter was I Just Can’t Wait to be King. This is the Tim Rice and Elton John composition from The Lion King, sung by a young Simba and Nala in the film. Other artists on the record include Jessica Simpson, Anastacia, S Club 7, and Hilary Duff.
