Jason Michael Carroll is a country musician. Carroll was born June 13, 1978 in Houston, Texas. His family moved to the area of Raleigh, North Carolina when he was 5.
Early life
He grew up in a religious and quite strict home, his father was a strict fundamentalist preacher who viewed all kinds of popular music as the siren call of sin and would not allow any secular music played in the home or even on family trips in the car. His father went so far as to spank him when he found a copy of Achy Breaky Heart under his pillow. [1]
In 2004, encouraged by his mother, Carroll won a singing competition entitled "Gimme the Mic". During this same period, Carroll finished writing "Alyssa Lies". Carroll says he struggled to the point of getting migraines for a year and a half before finishing the song.
Carroll's debut album Waitin' in the Country was released on February 6, 2007. In its opening week, the album sold 58,000 copies and reached #8 on the Billboard 200. It also debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums Charts.
With first-week sales of 57,608, and a Billboard 200 pop chart entry at #8, Carroll achieves both the best unit sales and the highest pop chart debut by any new country male since Billy Ray Cyrus in 1992. [1]
