Used to living the lavish lifestyle, Aaron Carter is extraordinarily down to earth. Now don’t get me wrong, the man has the famous “LV” logo tatted on his right hand; but meeting him was actually a surprising breath of fresh air. I never expected an artist that started in the industry at the young age of six to be as “normal” as Aaron Carter is (to put it a little bit in to perspective for you all, he is still just 26).

Sharmaine Nepomuceno, a fellow Odyssey writer, went along with me for my long-awaited trip to Indy. We were immediately introduced to Aaron Carter’s publicist, Lori when we arrived at the venue at 6 pm, only to be told our interview had been moved from 6 pm to 9 pm. However, we couldn’t really be mad because of the next thing Lori said: Aaron hadn’t eaten dinner yet because his sound check was running late.

For some reason that statement made him seem like actual human. Celebrities are just like us: they eat too! Sharmaine and I waited around the venue until finally 9 o’clock rolled around, and we were escorted out back to Aaron Carter’s tour bus. We got the interview on camera as well as pieces of his show afterward.  

With Aaron Carter sitting between Sharmaine and I, it felt as though we were just hanging out and catching up with an old friend more than conducting an interview. While I have not interviewed many celebrities, Carter has to be one of the most down to earth of them all.   

A man dedicated to his fans, he says that he wasn’t even really excited for all the places he will see while on tour as much as reconnecting with all of his fans. He may have expensive taste, and his dinner plate at a restaurant may contain the most expensive items on the menu, but Aaron Carter is a man of great strength and determination.     

During the interview, he mentioned being taken out of school at seven years old. He backed himself up though, saying he is really an intellectual individual and related to many established men.   

Carter went on during his interview, which ended with a hug goodbye and a selfie for Instagram! As Sharmaine and I stepped out of his tour bus, completely starstruck, he added that we were allowed to go anywhere that we wanted during his show to capture the best photographs for the Odyssey.   

Boy did he mean it; he made sure to flirt with our cameras ALL night long. Constantly looking right at my lens for the perfect shot. That’s another thing I learned about him: he is obsessed with what he does.     

I have been to many shows in my 21 years, and I am not exaggerating when I tell you Aaron Carter has more passion for entertaining than any artist I’ve seen live. Just watching him made me love his music. I could tell by the look in his eyes and the smile on his face that he did not want to leave the stage! Carter even teased his fans with a mid show serenade and an encore song at the end! The audience couldn’t get enough!   

This night was definitely one for the books, and Aaron Carter will never forget Indianapolis that’s for sure. Aaron is in full-blown come back mode, people, and he’s not quitting for anything! You would be smart to put him on your, “2014 artists to watch” list.      

His Wonderful World Tour is just kicking off. Carter and his crew will be visiting at least 80 cities, ending in Milan. Be sure to catch this star before he crosses the great seas! You will not regret it!
