Aaron was born on December 7th 1987 in Tampa1 Bay2, Florida USA. Aaron is the youngest member of the Carter family and he followed his fraternal3 twin sister Angel into the world by just one minute.
Aaron's music career began at an early age, looking to his brother Nick of the Backstreet boys for guidance and inspiration4. “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 harder,” said Aaron.
At the age of 7 Aaron started attending rock5 school in Tampa Florida USA where he would have vocal6 lessons. As part of his lessons at the rock school Aaron was teamed up with other members, he performed with them as part of a group which they decided to call “Dead End”. But it wasn't very long before Aaron and “Dead End” parted friends7. Aaron declared “...they wanted to do alternative music and I wanted to do more pop.”
Since then Aaron has gone on to8 the open in his brother's group 'The Backstreet Boys' and Britney Spears among others.
In March of 1997, he performed during a Backstreet Boys concert in Berlin, Germany. He stole the show9! After the concert, he was offered a record contract10 on the spot11 by an Edel Record Company executive who saw him perform, and in the fall of 1997, he released his first single, “Crush12 On You” which reached number 9 in the UK charts13.
Aaron then went on to release several other singles, many of which became extremely14 popular throughout America, Europe and other countries.
Millennium15 year 2000 was Aaron's breakthrough16 year. Aaron has signed with a new record company Jive Records and he released his smash hit17 album called “Aaron's Party (come get it)” which has captured18 the hearts of many fans throughout the whole world and has reached great heights on the billboard19 music charts in the USA. “Aaron's Party” has also gone twice platinum.
Aaron's second album “Oh Aaron” released on August 7th 2001 in the USA and on April 15th 2002 in the UK proved to be Aaron's best yet, with a whole bunch of20 new songs from Aaron including a few ballads21 where Aaron's singing voice really comes into22 its own.
Moving into 2002, Aaron was already back in the recording studio recording his third solo album for Jive Records. This new album “Another Earthquake” proves that Aaron was really getting to grips with23 his career. For Aaron, 2002 was also tour time. His summer tour and winter tour were definitely24 a great success!
2003 is already proving a packed25 year for Aaron. He's going to release his fourth album soon.
1987年12月7日，艾伦出生在美国佛罗里达州的坦帕湾。他是家里最小的孩子，只比他的孪生姐姐安吉尔小一分钟。
由于得到哥哥尼克——后街男孩的一员——的引导和启迪，艾伦的音乐生涯很早就开始了。他说：“如果尼克不当歌手，我也不会走这条路。他支持我，是他问我想不想唱歌的。我以前就对演唱感兴趣，但是我想如果没有他，我干这一行就要难多了。”
艾伦七岁的时候，进入美国佛罗里达州坦帕湾的一所摇滚学校学习声乐。按照课程安排，他参加了一个歌唱组合，和其他成员一同演出，他们的组合叫做“最后期限”。不久，他就和“最后期限”其他成员友好分手了。他解释说：“……他们想做别的音乐，我更想搞流行音乐。” 此后，艾伦跟着他哥哥的 “后街男孩”组合、布兰妮，以及其他一些演唱组合一起公开露面。
1997年3月，艾伦在后街男孩的柏林演唱会上演唱，抢尽了风头！艾德尔唱片公司一位主管观看了他的演唱后，当场提出与他签约。同年秋季，艾伦推出了自己第一首单曲《爱上你》，这首曲子一度攀上英国排行榜第九名的位置。
接下来他又出了一些单曲，其中许多都在欧美大陆以及其他国家风靡一时。
2000年千禧年是艾伦歌唱事业突飞猛进的一年。他与另一家唱片公司——杰坞唱片公司签约，推出了他的热卖大碟《艾伦的派对》，俘获了全球无数歌迷的心。这张大碟在美国音乐排行榜上排名领先，并且两次突破白金销量。
2001年8月7日和2002年4月15日，艾伦的第二张专辑《哦，艾伦》先后在美国和英国上市，这是迄今为止艾伦最出色的一张专辑，里面有好几首他自己的新作，包括几首民谣，形成自己独有的演唱风格。
到了2002年，艾伦就已经着手在杰坞的录音室里录制属于杰坞公司的第三张个人专辑《又一次地震》。这张新碟证明艾伦真的在演唱上下苦功了。2002年也是他的巡回演出年 。他的夏季和冬季巡回演唱会都极其成功。
艾伦2003年的工作日程看来已经排得满满当当。他不久将推出第四张个人专辑。
