Aaron Charles Carter was born at Tampa
General Children's Hospital in Tampa, Florida on December 7, 1987. He wasn't
alone even at that awkward moment, as he has a fraternal twin, Angel, who
was born just two minutes before him.
Aaron once said in an interview with Top
of the Pops magazine that Nick actually asked him if he wanted to sing.
"If Nick wasn't a singer, then I wouldn't be here. He supports me and is
the one who asked me if I wanted to sing. I was interested in performing
before, but I think it would have been a lot harder."
In March of 1997, Aaron performed during
a Backstreet Boys concert in Berlin, Germany. He stole the show! After the
concert, he was immediately offered a record contract by an Edel Record Company
executive who saw him perform, and in the fall of 1997, he released his first
single, "Crush on You." He then went on to release "Crazy Little Party Girl,"
I'm Gonna Miss You Forever," and "Shake It," all of which became very popular
overseas. Next was his first full length album, self titled "Aaron Carter."
The album didn't hit stores in the US until June 16, 1998, after going gold
in Spain, Norway, Canada, Denmark, and Germany.
Since then he released another single, "Surfin'
USA," a remake of the beach boys famous song. He worked with bands like the
Backstreet Boys, The Moffatts, 'N Sync, and others to make a single called
"Let the Music Heal Your Soul."
Aaron also has a single on the recently
released Pokemon soundtrack - "(Have Some) Fun With The Funk."
So what's in store for Y2K? He is reportedly going
to release a new CD this spring! There have also been rumors of a TV sitcom,
a Carter family video, and more. Rest assured knowing that Aaron has
only just begun his rise to the top, and with the undying support of fans
like you, he will be around for many years to come!
