LESLIE CARTER

The Carter siblings were all blessed with musical talent. Nick was part of the Backstreet Boys, whilst Aaron had a very successful solo career. Following her brothers’ footsteps, Leslie Carter also tried her hand at the industry, but only managed to receive lukewarm success. Nonetheless, she was able to release one single, “Like Wow”, which managed to chart at 99 in the US Billboard Hot 100. Leslie made some investments by opening up a small club tour in Canada in the hopes of getting a new record deal.

She also participated in the 2006 reality TV show, House of Carters, where she was seen writing and performing her songs. Before her death, she had been planning to go into rehab to seek professional help. She passed away on January 31, 2012. Leslie was only 25 years old and left her then 10-month-old daughter Alyssa. Sadly, Alyssa didn’t get the chance to be with her mom as she grows up. She is now eight years old.
