Life: Eighteen-year-old Jesse McCartney has

of the platinum-selling pop group Dream Street. As a
solo recording artist, Jesse's current hit single "Beautiful
Soul" is rising up the charts. His recently released
album of the same name is establishing him as an accomplished
singer-songwriter and rising music star.
McCartney grew up in Irvington, New York and is the
eldest of three children. His parents - trained actors
and singers - would put on a musical stage production
in the local community theater each year that included
the entire family. That experience led McCartney to
pursue a career in entertainment. At only 9 years of
age, he was cast as Louis, son of Hayley Mills' Anna,
in the Broadway production and the national touring
company of The King and I. Two years later, McCartney
landed the role of the young Scrooge opposite Roger
Daltrey in A Christmas Carol at Madison Square Garden.
McCartney's big break came when he was cast in the
long-running daytime drama All My Children as Adam Chandler,
Jr. He was nominated for Daytime Emmy Awards in both
2001 and 2002 for Best Performance by a Young Actor
in a Television Series, as well as for a Soap Opera
Digest Award. He won the Young Artist Award for his
role in the series in 2001 and 2002. Additional television
appearances include a guest-starring role in Law &
Order and performances with Sugar Beats and Dream Street
on Good Morning America, The Rosie O'Donnell Show and
Maury, McCartney has also been featured in many commercials
both as an on-screen and voiceover actor.
For over three years, McCartney was a member of the
hugely popular teen band Dream Street. Their debut album
reached No. 1 on the Billboard Independent Album Charts
and soared to platinum sales. Dream Street's songs have
been featured on the soundtracks for Pokemon 2000 and
The Little Vampire. Prior to Dream Street, McCartney
was the lead singer in Sugar Beats, with whom he recorded
four albums.
