Who I'd like to meet:
The Story Of Nick Carter:
As one of the Backstreet Boys, singer Nick Carter became an international superstar during the mid-'90s as his band became one of the best-selling teen pop bands in history.
Born Nickolas Gene Carter on January 28, 1980, in upstate New York, Carter's life in entertainment began at an early age.
He starred in various commercials and participated in countless talent shows as a child. By the time he was a teenager, he left the public school system for a home-schooled environment so he could focus on being a performer.
He was barely 13 when he got the chance of a lifetime: Carter became the youngest member of the Backstreet Boys upon their formation in 1992.
A tour of Europe catapulted the boys into fame by 1994 and the young Carter was elated. The Backstreet Boys broke America three years later with "Quit Playin' Games (With My Heart)" and "As Long as You Love Me," and the next few years would be unstoppable for the vocal quintet. Their self-titled American debut sold 13 million copies.
Millennium (1999) was an impressive sophomore effort; however, the band's third album, Black & Blue (2000), resulted in poor sales. Carter took a well-needed break after touring the world for seven years, but he remained conscious of future musical ideas.
Within a year, he and KNS (Josh Schwartz and Brian Keirulf) were working on Carter's first solo album. What followed was a deeply personal piece of rock & roll and R&B entitled Now or Never, which appeared on Jive in October 2002. Carter coincided the release with his first-ever solo tour in February 2003.
After a long break the boys was reunited on the Oprah Winfrey Show.They got together and decided to start on another Backstreet Boys album.
The brand new album named Never Gone was released in 2005 with yet another world tour being sould out in most parts of America.
Nick Carter is now working on his second solo album as well as working on a brand new Backstreet Boys album which will be released in the spring 2007.
I'd love to meet Nick Carter once again and all the BSB fans!
