Before his BSB fame, Nick who is the eldest of five children in his family, did some acting in tv commercials, for example he appeared in a Florida State Lottery and the Money Store commercial. His youngers siblings are sisters BJ [Bobbie Jean], Leslie, Angel and Aaron (Angel and Aaron are twins). Nick's parents are Robert and Jane Carter and both have already travelled with Nick while he has been on tour.
Nick is the youngest member of the Backstreet Boys and he is also by far the most popular. He also has one the group strongest and most distinct voices, so it isn't a surprise that he can be heard singing major parts in most of the BSB's songs. Nick isn't just a singer and dancer but he also plays the drums (this is something he has done onstage during many of the his concerts). Nick's favorite bands to listen to are Journey, Nirvana and Boyz II Men while his singer idol is Steve Perry.
During his free time, Nick has said that he enjoys drawing comics and playing video games. Nick also enjoys shooting some hoops and because he lives so close to the water in Florida, he enjoys going scuba-diving and boating. When asked where he would spend a dream vacation he has said that he would want to go to either Australia, Spain or the Florida Keys. If there's a tv around, he likes watchings shows like the X-Files and the Simpsons.
That inevitable girlfriend issue: Despite constant rumours (those especially on the net), Nick maintains that he doesn't have a girlfriend; his reason- he just doesn't have the time. BUT...............Now that everyone seems to know that Aj and Brian both have girlfriends it is much assumed that Nick must have one too. And guess what? I know most you girls don't want to hear this but Nick probably does have a girlfriend or least dates now and then. You know what though? I don't really care since it really isn't any of our business who he dates or sees and we should respect his privacy and not intrude on his personal life.
