Leslie Barbara Carter (born June 6, 1986, in Tampa, Florida, USA) is the sister of Aaron Carter and Backstreet Boy Nick Carter. Aside from her singer brothers, Nick and Aaron, she also has two sisters: (Aaron's twin sister) Angel (a model) and Bj. She also has an older half-sister named Ginger, from her father's first marriage. Carter's parents divorced in 2003 and her father remarried Ginger Elrod on April 1, 2004. In June 7, 2005, she welcomed the birth of her half-brother, Kanden Brent Carter, from her father's new marriage; she also has a younger step-sister called Taelyn by her father's new wife. Her mother remarried to a Mr. Holcomb on November 2, 2005.

She signed a record deal with Dreamworks Records and began recording her debut album. This album was set for release in 2000, but it was delayed because Dreamworks wanted to test Leslie's fan base before releasing the album in order to ensure its success. Her single, "Like Wow!" appeared on the Shrek soundtrack and received minor radio airplay. With this added exposure and popularity, Dreamworks announced the future release of the album. However, Dreamworks later cancelled the release, allegedly due to beliefs that Carter could not compete with pop performers at the time such as Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson. Her debut album was never released.

Leslie started a small club tour in Canada in December 2005, and had a showcase in NYC on January 19, 2006, with hopes it will lead to a new record deal. The songs performed on this tour have her abandoning her bubblegum pop roots for a more mature, rock-oriented sound. Leslie is co-writing her material with, among others, producer and High Holy Days guitarist Dave Thompson.
