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

Starting his music career at the age of 10 in the pop boyband Dream Street, was great stepping stone for Jesse McCartney as he began his solo venture. As he matured he explored other genres slowly moving away from the pop image that had initially been created for him. His debut solo album “Beautiful Soul” released in 2004 was still poppy but with an urban twist reached number 15 on the Billboard charts. Seeking growth and personal development, McCartney’s subsequent album releases “Departure” (2009) and “Have It All” (2010) deals with more mature themes and moves more towards R&B allowing him to showcase his song-writing capabilities. McCartney co-wrote Leona Lewis’ smash hit “Bleeding Love” with One Republic’s Ryan Tedder and since has become greatly sought after for his writing.
As McCartney has matured so have his performances. Many of his fans will have followed his career through Dream Street to present day, many still revering him as the teenage heartthrob as he charms the crowd on stage. Now is a chance for him to mirror his mature sound with his style by adorning sharp suits on stage, dancing across the stage and serenading the ladies which of course is met by a wave of screams. Accompanied by a full band, McCartney struts across the stage oozing confidence as he works the attentive crowd. Jesse McCartney is a natural talent with a plethora of irresistible catchy tunes.
