Young "Radio Disney" sensation Jesse McCartney was a child performer smash hit, singing on Broadway and landing an acting appearance on "All My Children" before even joining his first boy band, an accomplishment that came at the age of thirteen. Sugar Poppers "Dream Street" scored a platinum album with their debut album, before whirling off the careers of Chris Trousdale and Jesse McCartney himself, who started writing and performing music to kid friendly films like "Cinderella Story" ("The Best Day of My Life"), "Stuck in the Suburbs" ("Good Life"), and "Ella Enchanted", where Jesse performed a version of Elton John's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" with Anne Hathaway, the film's leading lady.. 

Jesse McCartney returned to acting in 2004 with a role on the WB young teen production "Summerland". Jesse also completed work on his first solo full-length. "Beautiful Soul" which was the album's title track and hit single. "Beautiful Soul" was released September 28, 2004 by Hollywood Records.

In August 2006, Jesse appeared in the ABC television series "Family Special: Schooled."

At the event, Jesse unveiled that he was never a very good test taker, and that he used to have a lot of test freight.

In an interview about McCartney's brief WB drama, "Summerland", Jesse said that his so called moniker "Orange Boy" is bogus. The nickname was actually fictitious and released to the press as a joke by one of Jesse's friends. McCartney's sys, "No one's ever called me Orange Boy for real." McCartney is presently working on his second solo CD "Right Where You Want Me", which is due soon.

Told through the eyes of three New York City young teen boys whose thirst for power and adventure lead them to pursue a career as modern day pirates in the City's famous Central Park, the story poignantly contemplates the age old lesson of right versus wrong, and teach us all, young and old, that there is a high price to pay for seeking personal triumph in the malicious sinking of other people's hopes, dreams - and ships!
