It's probably no accident that Nick Carter was born in the same
Jamestown, New York hospital as the legendary
actress/comedienne, Lucille Ball. A firecracker from day one, you
could regularly find "Little Nicky" dressed in nothing but diapers,
bustin' a move, on the dance floor of his father's Yankee Rebel
lounge. By fourth grade, after his family moved to Florida, Nick
landed the lead in Phantom of the Opera. He was also a featured
vocalist at Tampa Bay Buccaneer pre-game shows for two years. At
age 12 he put in a winning performance on the 1992 New Original
Amateur Hour, and did commercials for both the Money Store and
the Florida State Lottery. Nick was offered a gig with Disney, but
decided to go with the Backstreet Boys after that first night of
harmonizing.
During off hours, you can find Nick at home with his parents and four
younger siblings. The drum set in his room gets a heavy workout and
he spends lots of time jamming with two of his buds. Nick is a
licensed scuba diver, enjoys the family motorboat and fishing, and
loves poetry and football.
