Aaron Carter biography

Namesake of his Grampa Charles Douglas Spaulding (who goes by the name Doug and Ganpa "Chuck" Carter). Aaron was born at Tampa General Childerens Hospital in Tampa Florida on December 7th 1987.

Aaron was lucky enough to have company (in addition to his mom) at that precious time, as his twin Angel was born only minutes before he joined the world. Aaron and Angel were welcomed by their three siblings, Bobbie Jean (B.J.), Leslie and of course Nick. Both B.J. and Nick were born at WCA Hospital in Jamestown, NY, where the family lived before moving to Florida. Leslie was born in Florida at the Garden Villa Retirement home, where the Carter family lived and worked at the time.

With two sisters already, who wouldn't be happy to have a new little brother? Nick frequently expressed delight at the addition of the newest members of the family. Especially his first and only Brother.

"A Performer Extrodinaire" according to Top of the Pops magazine, Nick was the first to actually ask Aaron if perhaps he too 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." said Aaron. It may not have been as difficult as Aaron suggests, however.

Aaron's musical career 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!
