Aaron Carter burst onto the music scene at nine years old with his first single, "Crush on You," released in August 1997. His eponymous debut album hit European shelves in December 1997.

Carter re-released his debut album in the United States in June 1998.

In 1999, Carter performed at the Big Help Concert alongside N*Sync and other stars of the time.

Carter's second and most successful album, "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)," was released in September 2000. The album included popular singles like "I Want Candy" and "That's How I Beat Shaq."

In December 2000, Carter and his older brother Nick – a member of The Backstreet Boys – attended the 11th Annual Billboard Awards.

Carter appeared on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" in April 2021 as a musical guest and had a sit-down interview with the host.

Carter joined the cast of the Broadway musical "Seussical" in 2001 and played a character named JoJo. He performed the role from April to May of that year.

He also released his third studio album, "Oh Aaron," in August 2001. The lead single, "Oh Aaron," featured Nick Carter and the all-girl group No Secrets.

His fourth studio album — "Another Earthquake!" — was released the following year with songs like "Summertime" featuring the Baha Men. Carter said in an interview with VladTV that "Another Earthquake!" was his favorite album he recorded as a child.

In April 2003, he posed with former girlfriend Hilary Duff at the "The Lizzie McGuire Movie" premiere in Hollywood. The pair had an on-and-off romance after meeting in 2000 but officially split in 2003.

In 2006, Carter and his family starred in a reality TV show called "House of Carters." The series only lasted one season with eight episodes.

Carter competed on the TV series "Dancing with the Stars," where he danced with Karina Smirnoff in 2009. He and his partner almost made it to the finale, but were eventually eliminated.

Carter returned to stage acting in 2011 when he joined the cast of the off-Broadway play "The Fantasticks." His performance was so successful that Carter extended his contract with the production four times.

Carter performed in New York City in 2013 as part of his "After Party Tour." He told Billboard in an interview that he feared he would never tour again, but the response to his tour was "insane." He continued to release music in the following years.

Carter shared "The LØVË EP" in 2017 before releasing his last studio album before his death, " LØVË," in February 2018.

In 2021, Carter and his ex-fiancée Melanie Martin posed together at the Celebrity Boxing Face-Off between Lamar Odom and Carter. At the time, the couple was expecting a child, and they welcomed a baby boy named Prince in November 2021.

Carter performed at the Kings of Hustler club in Las Vegas in February 2022, just nine months before he died at age 34 in California.
