Carter Twins

CARTER TWINS
Josh and Zach Carter

Growing up in Akron, Ohio, 19-year-old twins Josh and Zach Carter were surrounded by music from the time they were born. Their mother worked in country radio and encouraged their interest – Zach stole time at her piano, while she taught Josh “Stairway to Heaven” on the guitar.
The family recently relocated to Nashville from South Carolina so the twins could pursue their music career full-time under the development of CMT and Meteor 17. Still settling into their new digs, Josh and Zach spent the summer working with some of Music City’s best songwriters and crafting as many as 60 songs in just six months. Their debut album has collaborations with Charles Kell, Tia Sillers (“I Hope You Dance” and numerous #1 hits) and a host of other top tunesmiths.
Their first single, “Heart Like Memphis,” garnered national attention, making them one of the fastest-rising new artists on the digital charts. The Carter Twins are outselling over the current country chart titles on downloads, out streaming nearly all new country acts on My Space, out searching over half the current country acts on Google – thus showing they totally connect with audiences, both on the radio and live.
Their album, set for release in early 2010, is being produced by Frank Rogers, Billboard magazine’s #1 country producer of the Year (25 #1 singles). Their touring agent is CAA Nashville chief Rod Essig and the rest of CAA who are deeply involved working on all aspects of the twin’s multimedia career. Their media and career direction is being helmed by Spencer Proffer and McGhee Entertainment
The Carter Twins were in the select nomination group for last year’s CMT Awards, being in the nomination pool for Best New Duo as well as Breakthrough Video of The Year. .
