Sparking his career at the age of 12, Nick Carter quickly became an international pop superstar as the youngest member of the iconic boy band, Backstreet Boys. With his boyish good looks and heartthrob status, Carter's 30-year entertainment journey has extended far beyond sold-out arenas, encompassing a diverse range of projects in television, film, philanthropy, and publishing.
The Backstreet Boys hold the distinction of being the best-selling boy band in history and rank among the world's top-selling music artists of all time. The group solidified one of the largest record deals ever, signing a $60 million deal with Jive Records in 1999. Since taking the world by storm in 1995, the band has sold over 130 million records worldwide and has earned five Grammy nominations and countless Billboard Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, American Music Awards, RIAA Awards, People’s Choice Awards, and an honorary star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame. To date, the Backstreet Boys broke the record for most albums sold in one year, selling over 11 million copies of their third studio album, Millennium, in 1999.
In 2002, Carter ventured into a solo career with his debut album, Now or Never, released under Jive Records. It debuted impressively at #17 on the Billboard 200 chart and received Gold certification in the United States, Japan, and Canada. Since then, Carter has released two additional solo albums I’m Taking Off in 2012 followed by All American in 2016. Notably, his 2023 single "Hurts to Love You" became his most successful track, charting in seven different countries.
In 2004, Carter made his foray into the world of film and television with several acting credits to his name. In 2014, Carter and his now wife, Lauren Kitt, made their reality TV debut as a couple on the VH1 series "I Heart Nick Carter." Furthermore, he participated in season four of Fox's hit show, "The Masked Singer," as well as the 21st season of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" making it to the finals on both series.
Over the years, Nick Carter has remained a household name, most recently touring with the Backstreet Boys on “The DNA World Tour” which wrapped earlier this year. Up next, he’ll embark on a solo tour, titled “Who I Am” kicking off in October 2023, which will follow the release of his new music, solidifying his enduring presence in the music and entertainment industry.
