Aaron Accetta (born May 11, 1971), is an American record producer, songwriter, and musician. He has written and/or produced for such names as He is We, Forever The Sickest Kids, James Garfunkel, Brooke Hogan, Deborah Gibson, Jordan Knight,[1] Rich Cronin, LFO, KeKe Palmer, Aaron Carter, Nick Carter, and Jeff Timmons.[2]
Born and raised in Mt. Kisco, NY, a small town outside of New York City, Accetta began his music career at the early age of fourteen; writing his first song on his Fender Stratocaster. By age sixteen, he started his first band called, The Fuse.[3]
After The Fuse parted ways, Accetta and lead vocalist, Dan Woods, put their efforts towards a new project: JBender, a melodic, hook-driven rock band produced by Sam Hollander. In February 2001, the band signed a major recording contract with Columbia Records.[4] The band was later dropped in 2002.
Accetta began focusing solely on his producing and songwriting career after the fall of JBender. In 2002, he teamed up with pop artist, Mandy Ventrice,[5] and began co-writing with the likes of Shep Goodman, Kenny Gioia, and past producer, Sam Hollander.[6]
In 2003, Accetta was offered an in-house producer and songwriting position for Trans Continental Records based out of Orlando, FL.[7] Shortly after, his credibility as a producer and songwriter grew tremendously; earning him rave reviews in Billboard Magazine, and an RIAA Certified Gold Record commemorating the sales of his production on Aaron Carter's single, Saturday Night.[8][9]
Currently, Aaron resides in New York, and is working on projects for both major and independent record labels, as well as developing new talent.[10]
