Starting his career at age 12, Nick Carter quickly became an international pop superstar as the youngest member of the iconic boy band, Backstreet Boys.

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.

The Backstreet Boys have toured the globe several times, released 10 studio albums, and have broken several records, including the US 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 no. 17 on the Billboard 200 chart and received Gold certification in the US, Japan, and Canada. This marked the beginning of a successful solo journey, complementing his fame as a member of the Backstreet Boys. 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, topping the charts in the US and hitting number one in Canada.
In 2004, Carter went into film and television, starring in the remake of the classic horror film, Sleepy Hollow called The Hollow.
