Jason Aldean

Background

Jason Aldean might be a country music hotshot with awards, tours, and accolades, but he didn’t have the best childhood. He is a Pisces and was born in Macon, Georgia, on February 28, 1977. Aldean is of English and Welsh descent and his parents were separated by the time he turned three. He was mostly raised by his mother and shuffled between Florida, his father’s new home, and Macon, his hometown. His father supported his musical interests when he was young and they even played the guitar together. At the age of 14 and with his mother’s help, Aldean began performing at local talent contests, and a year later, he joined a band. As he wanted to stand out more among singers, he changed his name from Aldine to Aldean.

Aldean performed in clubs after graduating high school. His performance appealed to Michael Knox, who signed him to the Warner Chappell song publishers in 1998. He moved to Nashville shortly after but his contract was terminated. In 2005, he signed with Broken Bow Records and released his eponymous album shortly after. The album went on to be R.I.A.A. platinum-certified in 2007. In 2009, he released ‘Big Green Tractor’ and the single became his third number-one hit. In 2010, Aldean released his 10th Top-10 Country Hit, “My Kinda Party,” which won the 2011 C.M.A. ‘Album of the Year’ award.

Aldean’s discography features 10 studio albums and the latest one, “Georgia,” was released in April 2022. In addition to having headlined 12 phenomenal tours, he has won many awards, and he has more musical accolades than we can count. As a highly successful country music singer, songwriter, and record producer, Aldean shares his life with his four children.
