Jesse McCartney (Jesse Abraham Arthur McCartney) launched his music journey in 2000 when he joined the American pop boy band, Dream Street. After leaving an impression on fans, he began his solo career in 2002 as a singer-songwriter.

He has released 5 studio albums with big hits such as "Beautiful Soul", "She's No You", "Leavin'", "Just So You Know", and "How Do You Sleep". His debut solo album "Beautiful Soul" had been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, with more than 1.5 million copies sold. The album's lead single with the same name reached number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100.

From 2005 to 2010, Jesse McCartney became a familiar name on many prestigious international music charts, being listed eight times on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. His single "Leavin'" was released in March 2008 and ranked number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it his highest-charting single to date. His most recent single, "Wasted" aired in 2018. Since the release of “Wasted”, the song reached #5 on the iTunes US Pop chart and #32 on Apple Music, the track is also included on the A-List: Pop and Spotify’s It’s A Hit playlist.

Besides music, Jesse McCartney is also famous for his acting career. He first appeared on screen at the age of 11 in the TV series, Summerland. Thanks to his acting skills and charms, he received attention from many directors. He went on to appear as himself in some popular Disney Channel shows like “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” and “Hannah Montana”. He was also featured as the voice of Terence in the 2008 film Tinker Bell, Theodore in the 2007 film Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Robin in the Young Justice series.

Not only well-known as a singer and an actor, Jesse is also a talented songwriter behind numerous famous songs. His biggest achievement in songwriting is the hit song "Bleeding Love" that he co-wrote with Ryan Tedder. The single put British songbird, Leona Lewis, on the world music map, becoming a No.1 hit in more than 28 countries and the best-selling single worldwide in 2008. The song was also nominated for Record of the Year at the 2009 Grammy Awards.

Jesse McCartney – The Resolution Tour Vietnam - will be the very first time Jesse visits HCM City. Vietnamese audience will hear Jesse's biggest hits like "Beautiful Soul", "Because You Live", "Leavin", "Just So You Know", "How Do You Sleep ", and also get to enjoy the latest songs released such as "Wasted" and "Better with You". "Bleeding Love", the international mega-hit that he co-wrote will also be performed.

“I have taken a lot of left and right turns over the years, I’ve done some more R&B and urban music, and now I’ve kind of landed back in the Pop world, and I think part of the appeal of my new songs like “Better With You” and “Wasted” is that they do remind people of the songs they grew up listening to just 10 – 15 years ago like “Beautiful Soul”, “Because You Live”. For the first time in HCM City, I expect to meet some amazing Vietnamese fans, people I have never met before, I've been looking for this for many many years I also expect to try some really good Vietnamese food. I'm a big fan of Vietnamese cuisine. I’m gonna get me some Phở, hopefully I find an exclusive Phở place. Yeah, food and fans are what I'm looking forward to most” said Jesse McCartney regarding his new music and his first time in Vietnam.

The show will start at 8pm, July 9 at Soul Live Project Complex, 216 Pasteur, Dist.3, HCM City. Ticket prices are between VND550,000 to VND800,000.
