At 22, Jesse McCartney is a multifaceted artist who continues to expand and make his mark on the entertainment industry. But now, McCartney is looking to make a mark on the streets of Long Beach in the 2010 Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race.

A multiplatinum recording artist, McCartney is best known for chart-topping hit songs such as “Leavin’” and “Beautiful Soul.” “Leavin’” spent five weeks at No. 1 on the CHR Top 40 Chart, going gold and platinum with two-million-plus downloads on iTunes.

As an actor, McCartney recently completed production on “Beware the Gonzo” for writer/director Bryan Goluboff. Last Christmas, McCartney reprised his role as Theodore in “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.”

McCartney is also an accomplished songwriter and was the recipient of the ASCAP Pop Music Award for Song of the Year in 2008. He has received a number of other awards and nominations, including an American Music Award nomination for Best New Artist, an MTV Award nomination for Best Pop Video, multiple Teen Choice Awards and a 2009 win at the Kids’ Choice Awards for Best Male Singer. McCartney hopes to add a trophy from the 2010 Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race to his cache this year.
