Jason Aldine Williams was born
February 28th, 1977 in Macon, Georgia. His parents were divorced soon after; he
mostly lived with his mom, but during one stay with his father he learned to
play the guitar. His mother and father, while apart, both chose to support his
musical interests. His mother attempted to get him playing at an event for the
Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. He proceeded to perform several
songs and all ten people in the audience clapped, furthering his desire to
pursue a musical career. He and his band
at the time proceeded to perform at several more small events with the help of
his father. He moved to Music City Tennessee and after being dropped from
several contracts and it wasn’t until 2004 when he got his chance to record his
first album “Jason Aldean.” This was the start of his professional carrer. When
he started officially after dropping his first album in 2005, he changed his
professional name to Jason Aldean.
Aldean had a very close call with
his entire career. Just two weeks before he was about to give up on music, and
return home broke and dropped from
multiple contracts, he hit it big with the independent label Broken Bow
and from there his career has yet to slow down. He is a huge Atlanta Braves fan
and he was good at baseball himself, very good. He was awarded a college
scholarship to play baseball, but turned it down when he realized he couldn’t
see himself making a career out of it, when he couldn’t see going to school for
another four years after working so hard to get out of high school. His first
major celebrity crush was Alyssa Milano from the 1980’s sitcom “Who’s the
Boss?”
Some of his hit singles include
"Big Green Tractor" and "Don't You Wanna Stay?" his duet
with Kelly Clarkson. His best albums include "My Kinda Party" and
"Wide Open." My personal favorites include "She's Country,"
"My Kinda Party," and "Amarillo Sky." The first single
"Take A Little Ride" from the album “Night Train” set a record for
most first-week digital downloads by a solo country male artist.
