How did Jesse McCartney become popular?
McCartney’s music career started in the late 1990s. He joined the boy band Dream Street and released music with the group from 1999 to 2002.
However, Dream Street did not last long as a unit. In 2002, the members’ parents sued the band’s creators, Louis Baldonieri and Brian Lukow, for engaging “in a wide range of conduct and activities that plainly threaten and impair the minors’ well-being.” The court ended up ruling in favor of Dream Street, which released McCartney and the other members from their contracts.
McCartney continued his music career by releasing songs as a solo artist, and it soon became clear McCartney could become a star all on his own. His first album, Beautiful Soul, came out in 2004 and peaked at number 15 on the Billboard 200 chart. For the next few years, radio listeners would be familiar with McCartney’s hits, such as “Beautiful Soul,” “Leavin’,” and “Right Where You Want Me.”
Recently, McCartney made a splash on the third season of The Masked Singer. He showcased his talent while disguising himself as a turtle and became the runner-up of the season.
Aside from singing, McCartney has shown he is skilled in acting as well. He appeared on shows like All My Children and Summerland. Additionally, he has been the voice of Theodore in the Alvin and the Chipmunks films and Terrence in the Disney Fairies franchise.

Chef Wolfgang Puck himself was also at the restaurant making his rounds when it happened. The couple celebrated with drinks as the night went on.”
