Aaron Charles Carter--namesake of his Grampa Charles
Douglas Spaulding, (he goes by Doug) and Grandpa
"Chuck" Carter--was born at Tampa General Children's
Hospital in Tampa, Florida on December 7, 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 Extraordinaire according
to Top of the Pops magazine, Nick was the first
to actually ask Aaron if perhaps he too wanted
to sing. Says Aaron, "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." 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!
Aaron and Dead End parted friends after about
two years, with Aaron declaring "... they wanted
to do alternative music and I wanted to do more
pop." From that point forward, he was a solo act,
and he began to spend much of his time in vocal
training. It wasn't long before Aaron was putting
his voice lessons to work.
