The Carter Twins

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 direction of Doc McGhee and McGhee Entertainment, partnered with M17 on the boy’s career.. 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 Kelly (Lady Antebellum), Liz Rose (Taylor Swift), 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 had the good fortune to outsell a great number of 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.

The Carter Twins were selected as one of the key musical ambassadors to last years’ Very Special Christmas Vol 7 album for the Special Olympics. Other young artistes on the record include Miley Cyrus, Colbie Caillat, Carrie Underwood, Gloriana and Vanessa Hudgens, amongst others. The Carter Twins rendition of the classic LET IT SNOW was the only single and video from the Universal Music Enterprises release for the holiday season (Carter Twins - Let It Snow; password is snowman).

There is an all star eco system of major believers and partners in the Carter Twins career, starting with world class agency CAA and its Nashville chief, Rod Essig . Rod and the rest of CAA across the country are deeply involved working on all aspects of the twins multimedia career. Doc McGhee and his McGhee Entertainment are quarterbacking the band’s career out of their Nashville beachhead. ME did a spectacular job helming all aspects of Darius Rucker’s tremendous success and we all hope the same good fortune will come to the Carter Twins. The boys’ music is produced by 3x Billboard Nashville Producer of the Year, Frank Rogers (Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, Josh Turner, and many others) who has scored with 26 # 1 singles at country radio.

The CT have a significant marketing and endorsement relationship with Fender Music Instruments and AEG’s Band Merch company. The Carter Twins were in the select nomination group for 2009;s CMT Awards, being in the nomination pool for Best New Duo as well as Breakthrough Video of The Year.
