About

Growing up in Akron, Ohio, twins Josh and Zach Carter were surrounded by music from the time they were born. Their mother, who worked in country radio, taught her sons how to play both piano and guitar. In 2008, the Carter Twins met an MTV executive while making the rounds in Los Angeles, which subsequently led them to the people at CMT. With high school in their rearview mirror, the boys moved to Nashville to pursue a music career. Signed to CMT Music, the Carters released their debut single, "Heart Like Memphis," in January 2009. With renowned producer Frank Rogers behind the production boards, the twins' debut album is expected in summer 2009.
