Jesse McCartney -- singer and actor. He was born on April 9, 1987 in Westchester, New York.





Jesse McCartney has always had singing and acting in his blood, so it was a natural turn of events that Jesse McCartney would by age 17 become one of the most widely recognized Hollywood heart-throbs. Born & raised in Ardsley, a small subdivision of Westchester County, McCartney first got his try at singing and acting at the age of seven when he began appearing in community theatre productions put on by the small theatre owned by his parents Ginger & Scott





More McCartney. Soon thereafter McCartney auditioned for the of the young boy in The Six Sense, but failed to get the part. Later at the age of twelve, McCartney received a role in the ABC soap, All My Children, as the character Adam Chandler Jr. However, Jesse's music career was not about to take a backseat, and at about the same time Jesse beat out about 2,000 young singers to become the youngest member of the band Dream Street.





Throughout the 90's Jesse's music career continued to rise. In 2004, Jesse made another leap, this time to prime time television in the WB evening soap Summerland. Unfortunately, the series was short-lived and in the summer of 2005, the show had it's final episode.





However this roadblock did not seem to deter the tenacious young McCartney, who at the same time produced another venture in music. This time leaving his boyband roots behind for a solo career with the newly formed production company JumpAhead Productions. In 2004, McCartney released his first solo album "Beautiful Soul", which soon went multi-platinum and left McCartney with several hit singles.





McCartney's 2nd solo CD came out on September 19th 2006, but lacked all the acclaim of his first solo effort. Later on May 20 2008, Jesse released a third solo effort which was an R&B infused "Departure" from his previous two albums. Jesse's single "Leaving" reached #2 on the Billboard pop 100 list and made #10 on the hot list in 2008.





As for his acting career, Jesse has continued to remain very tenacious, and in 2004 filmed the indie flick Keith, which was based upon a short story by Ron Carlson. Keith recently hit the indie film circuit, & was released simultaneously, with a concert in Las Vegas this September.

    He's a cutie! hide show

    Jesse McCartney started the first try acting then end up with an album. He appeared on many tv shows like Hannah Montana, Suite Life of Zack and Cody, my favorite Summerland. Singing his hits like "Get Your Shine On" on plenty of movies got him more then recognized. I like him better as a actor but his singing is pretty good to. Even though he changed his style of music and changed it more to a Chris Brown sort of vibe. For instance, "Beautiful Soul" compared to "Leavin". Now, to many he's a major heart throb but in my book he's just cute.

    Jesse McCartney--the most adorable person ever. He has had three albums, used to be in a band Dreamstreet, was in All My Children on ABC, was in Summerland on WB then, was the voice of Theodore in A&tC movie and Jojo in Horton Hears a Who :) hide show

    He has had guest appearances on Disney, Nickelodeon and Mtv. He's also very talented, gorgeous, handsome, and charming :) He's an awesome songwriter and singer. He not too long ago wrote the lyrics to the song "Bleeding Love" you may have heard from the British singer, Leona Lewis. Have to give him a ten he's the most gorgeous guy that I've ever seen and that voice. He gives off this honest and warm-hearted vibe. He seems like he would be so easy to talk to even though he has fame. What I'd give just to meet him WOW He's so beautiful :)!!!!!

    Jesse McCartney is the best, and he needs more chances to prove himself. hide show

    To all of you haters: you may not like him, but there are other people out there that do. I'm not insulting anybody, but no matter what you say, the people that do like him are going to keep liking him. And he isn't just some pretty boy, and he didn't go PLATINUM on his album "Beautiful Soul" because he's hot (though he is). He has lots of talent. I mean nobody would want to listen to some one sing badly even if they were gorgeous. Plus, people would not be asking him to be a guest star in their show if they didn't think he was good at acting. So please keep all those unneccessary words to yourself.
