Nick Carter (born Nickolas Gene Carter on January 28, 1980 in Jamestown, New York, USA) is a member of the popular music boy band the Backstreet Boys and is generally considered the biggest heart-throb in the group. His mother, Jane Spaulding, is a Mayflower descendant and is of Welsh, Irish, German, English and 1/4 Blackfoot Indian ancestry, while father Bob Carter is of Jewish heritage.
Carter has sung on some of the band's chart-toppers, and his fame has also helped propel the careers of his brother Aaron Carter and sister Angel Carter.
In 2002, he released a pop-rock solo album titled Now Or Never, which "showed Carter's great talent to communicate and transmit good vibe, positive energy and good mood to people of all ages."
Carter was linked with hotel heiress Paris Hilton, and by late 2003, the two were publicly dating. The relationship ended in 2004. In March 2005, Carter was arrested in Huntington Beach, California for drunk driving and was found guilty.
In June 2005, Carter welcomed the birth of his new half-brother.
Carter is currently back on tour with the Backstreet Boys, who are promoting a new album Never Gone; their first single was "Incomplete" and their second is "Just Want You To Know".
In Fall 2005, Carter, with the Backstreet Boys, is touring Europe.
Between the height of popularity for the Backstreet Boys and the present day (2005) Nick Carter has experienced weight fluctuations of up to 20 lbs. While never veering into truly over or underweight, these visible fluctuations are popular fodder used in jibes against him.
