Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys

This week, Tommy is joined by international pop star Nick Carter who rose to fame in the Backstreet Boys, the best-selling boy band in history. The Backstreet Boys ranks as one of the world’s top-selling music artists of all time. Nick’s 30 year entertainment journey has extended far beyond sold-out arenas, encompassing a range of diverse projects in television, film, philanthropy and publishing. Nick is currently selling out the Las Vegas Sphere with his fellow Backstreet Boys in their “Into The Millennium” residency. Because he’s not busy enough this year, he also dropped his most recent solo album, “LOVE LIFE TRAGEDY,” which upon release debuted at No. 1 on the Worldwide Top Albums chart. Today, Nick opens up about what it was like being leaders in the pop renaissance that exploded in the 90’s, why he turned down the Mickey Mouse Club for a shot with what would become the Backstreet Boys, how the guys curated their set list for their Vegas residency, the songs he is always most psyched to perform, what Backstreet Boy song he can’t get out of his head, the meaning behind the powerful title of his latest solo album, what he attributes to his longevity in the music business, one of the greatest life lessons he’s learned over the last 30 years of his career, his exciting new vinyl project, if that white cat represents anything, something he has never said before, and so much more. Subscribe, rate, and leave a written review for this episode if you enjoyed this conversation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
