Since he was 8 years old, Carter Anderson dreamed of performing on stage and bellowing out the sweet sounds of R&B like many of his idols.

Born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Fort Washington, Maryland, Carter Anderson is actually named after his father. Just as on stage, Carter portrays a warm and confident spirit and it is reflected greatly in the soulful songs he has written and co-produced. Carter has long admired such greats as Donny Hathaway, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder and Brian McKnight and has performed many of their hits during his stage performance, including his visit to the world-famous Apollo theatre in New York City.

His initial album promises a true representation of his personal writings and musical style. Many of the songs - including the initial single release, "You Make My Day", for instance - were co-produced by Terry L. Lewis, who has many production credits under his belt, including television show theme songs for Black Entertainment Television. "Terry and I have worked many years together," Carter says. "When the two of us get together in the studio, its constant non-stop production. We have teamed together to produce the music he and I love to hear."br>
