Introduction to Music and Early Career

Carter began his music career at the age of seven as the lead singer of a band called Dead End. He left the band two years later due to creative differences, as they moved toward alternative music while he preferred pop. In March 1997, he performed a cover of The Jets' "Crush on You" during the opening act for the Backstreet Boys in Berlin. The performance led to a recording contract, and by the end of 1997, Carter released his debut single, "Crush on You." His self-titled debut album, released in Europe on December 1, 1997, achieved gold status in countries such as Denmark, Germany, Canada, Norway, and Spain. The album was released in the United States on June 16, 1998.

Aaron's Party and Mainstream Success

Carter's next album, Aaron's Party (Come Get It), was released in 2000 under Jive Records and marked his mainstream breakthrough. The album sold over 1.5 million copies in the United States and included hit singles like "I Want Candy," "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)," "That's How I Beat Shaq," and "Bounce." These songs gained heavy airplay on Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. Around this time, Carter also made appearances on Nickelodeon and opened for artists like Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys. The album was certified platinum in December 2000, further solidifying his pop teen idol status. During that period, he began dating actress Hilary Duff.
