Jesse McCartney biography

Jesse McCartney (Born 9 April 1987) is an American Pop singer, Songwriter, Actor and Voice Actor from Ardsley, New York.

McCartney’s career in show business began at an early age, when he stared as Adam Chandler, Jr. in the soap opera All My Children from 1998-2001. Around the same time he ventured into what would become the beginning of his musical career, after he joined the boy band Dream Street at the age of 12.

After a successful three years in the band and on the TV show, he decided to leave both and embark on his solo music career. He began writing and practising with a live band. He eventually released his debut album “Beautiful Soul” in 2004, after two years of production. The album was well received charting at number 15 in the US, selling over 1 million copies. A 55-stop tour of America quickly followed, as well as opening shows for Backstreet Boys.

McCartney released his follow up effort, “Right Where You Want Me” in 2006. He co-wrote all but one of the tracks on the project, and it charted one place higher than his previous album, at number 14.

Following on from his solo musical success, Jesse continued with his acting work, starring in 2008 Canadian indie movie, “Keith” and also making his first step into the world of voice acting, lending his talents to the movies “Alvin and the Chipmunks” and “Horton Hears a Who!”

Between 2007 and 2009, McCartney turned his hand to writing song for others; such as the Leona Lewis smash hit “Bleeding Love”. He then released his third album, “Departure”, a more mature sounding LP, in 2008. It featured collaborations with the likes of rapper Ludacris and T-Pain. The single “It’s Over” is McCartney’s most successful track to date, charting at number 10 and selling platinum.

McCartney’s most recent work was 2014’s “In Technicolor” which was finally released after four years of label issues and rewriting.

Live reviews

Swoon. That is the reaction of most girls who grew up in the 90s when you ask them about Jesse McCartney. I mean a multi-talented singer, songwriter and actor, its really no surprise that so many 90s girls had crushes on him.
Now, I wasn’t exactly one of these girls, but one of my friends growing up was, and so when he came to town to perform, I was asked if I wanted to go along with her. I was actually a bit surprised at how well the show turned out, and had ended up having a lot of fun (probably because pretty much the entire audience consisted of my peers). As a vocalist he is good, but what really gave him such star quality was the catchiness of a majority of his songs. I was surprised to find myself singing all the words to “Beautiful Soul,” and “Leaving,” even though I hadn’t listened to those songs in ages. Add to that surprise the fact that everyone else in the crowd was also singing along and you felt like you were transported back to the careless days of middle school, hanging out with your friends. The sheer nostalgia that his show brought was really what made it a great show.
