Early life

Jason Aldine Williams was born in Macon, Georgia, on February 28, 1977. When he was three years old, his parents divorced. He was raised by his mother in Macon, and he spent time with his father in Homestead, Florida, during the summer. Before his dad's work, he would map out guitar chords on notebook paper to show his son where to place his fingers to play the chords and Jason would stay and practice all day. He took out his own guitar and the two of them played together as his dad returned home. Since hearing it only a few times, he might play a song soon. George Strait's "The Cowboy Rides Away," Hank Williams Jr.'s "The Blues Man," and Alabama's "My Home Is In Alabama" were among his early favorites.

As Aldean's musical development progressed, both of his parents encouraged him. After watching the country-music awards on television, he wanted to perform on stage from age 14. He appeared at the local VFW hall in Macon with his mother's help. He performed "Seminole Wind" by John Anderson and Tracy Lawrence's "Sticks and Stones." He began competing at local talent competitions and local fairs. He formed the "house band" in Nashville, Georgia, on August 15th.

Aldean changed the spelling of his middle name, Aldine, to come up with the word Aldean in order to stand out.
