With several platinum albums and two Emmy nominations, New York native McCartney is building on a foundation that began with him performing in local community musicals at the age of seven.  He made his Broadway debut in The King and I when he was nine years old and performed in his first band, Dream Street, at twelve.  At sixteen, McCartney launched his solo career and his debut album Beautiful Soul sold more than 1.5 million copies.  He also racked up a number of awards at the Teen Choice Awards, including "Choice Male Artist," "Breakout Artist" and "Crossover Artist."  McCartney exhibits equal talent in his acting career including his Emmy-nominated performances for the role of Adam Chandler Jr. on All My Children.
