Jason Aldine Williams was born inMacon, Georgia,[1][2] on February 28, 1977. His parents separated when he was three. He was raised by his mother in Macon, and during the summer he spent time with his father inHomestead, Florida. He attendedWindsor Academy, a private Christian school inBibb County, Georgia.[3] Before his father went to his work, Aldean would map out guitar chords on notebook paper to show his son where to place his fingers to play the chords and Jason would sit and practice all day while his father was at work. When his father got home, he got out his own guitar and they played together. Soon he could play a song after hearing it only a few times. His early favorites includedGeorge Strait's "The Cowboy Rides Away",Hank Williams Jr.'s "The Blues Man", andAlabama's "My Home's in Alabama".
Both of his parents encouraged young Aldean as he progressed musically. From age 14, after watching the country-music awards on television, he wanted to perform on stage. With his mother's help, he performed at the local VFW hall in Macon. He sangJohn Anderson's song "Seminole Wind" andTracy Lawrence's "Sticks and Stones". He then began performing at area talent contests and local fairs. At 15, he joined the "house band" at Georgia nightspot Nashville South.
In order to stand out, Aldean changed the spelling of his middle name, Aldine, to come up with the name Aldean.[4]
After high school, with his father's help, Aldean and his band performed at clubs and festivals around the Southeast. With Justin Weaver (one of the band's members), Aldean began writing and recording original songs. In 1998, he performed songs from his first album at a showcase staged byAtlanta nightclub The Buckboard. He was approached byMichael Knox, then of theWarner-Chappell song-publishing company.[2] After signing with Warner-Chappell, Aldean moved toNashville on November 1, 1998, at the age of 21.
Aldean was offered a recording contract but was subsequently dropped. He signed with another label but again was dropped in 2000 after his label postponed his recording sessions repeatedly. Various showcases failed to bring him a contract. The last straw was an attempt at the Wildhorse Saloon where the promised label talent scouts never showed up. Frustrated and discouraged with his struggling career, Aldean gave himself six months before planning to leave Nashville and return home to Georgia. Then five weeks later, he was offered a deal fromBroken Bow Records in Nashville. Shortly after the release ofhis self-titled debut album, Aldean picked up his new (and current) agent Kevin Neal. While recordingRelentless, Aldean moved to Clarence Spalding and Spalding Entertainment for management.
Aldean's debut single, "Hicktown", was released in early 2005.[2] It served as the lead-off to hisself-titled debut album and reached number 10 on the USBillboardHot Country Songs chart.[5] The album contained his first number one hit with "Why".[5] This album contained the number 4 hit "Amarillo Sky",[5] which had previously been a non-charting single in 2002 forMcBride & the Ride. The song earned a 2006 ACM nomination for Song of the Year and Video of the Year. Aldean earned the title "Top New Male Vocalist" at the 2006ACM Awards. Over 1,000,000 copies of the album were sold in the United States and it was certified platinum by theRIAA in 2007.

The album's lead-off single, "Johnny Cash", was originally recorded byTracy Byrd, but Aldean's version of it peaked at No. 6.[5] Its followup "Laughed Until We Cried" became his 5th consecutive Top 10 hit.[5]Relentless was also certified platinum by theRIAA, and itstitle track was released as its 3rd single. The song was Aldean's lowest-charting single both in the U.S. and Canada,[5] failing to reach the Top 10 on the country charts.[5]

But the real highlight for him was that he was working with Randy Owen. "I am a big fan ofAlabama so I got a chance to work withRandy Owen on this album (it didn't make the album but it eventually made a bonus track). It was really cool. Alabama were like 'The Beatles' for me so working with him was definitely one of the highlights," he said "I mean, both of those guys were really cool moments, but if I had to pick one highlight, it would be working with Randy [Owen] this year."[7] A live DVD titledWide Open Live & More was released on August 25, 2009.[citation needed] At the 2010 CMT Music Awards, Aldean picked up 3 nominations in Video of the Year and Male Video of the Year for "The Truth", as well as Collaborative Video of the Year and CMT Performance of the Year for his performance of "Heaven" with Bryan Adams.[8]
