In June of 1998, Jesse was cast in the important role of Adam Chandler, Jr. on the hit ABC daytime drama All My Children. Jesse’s acting skills on All My Children were recognized by three organizations.

Jesse grew up in New York with his whole family performing together. His family would do stage productions, rehearsing for two months each Fall for what would become the year’s big musical every November. Working in Community Theater opened Jesse’s eyes to the joy of singing live and the discipline of acting.

Not many adult performers can say they have two Emmy nominations, two Young Artist Awards, a Soap Opera Digest Award nomination, were a member of a platinum-selling singing group and have a successful acting career. But 16-year-old Jesse McCartney can.
