Justin Timberlake is an American pop/dance/R&B singer-songwriter and musician.

Born 31^st January 1981 in Memphis, Tennessee, Timberlake first became known as a contestant on the television talent show Star Search, before joining the cast of The Mickey Mouse Club (along with other future stars like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera) in 1993. Although the show ended in 1994, Timberlake swiftly approached his fellow cast member JC Chasez about forming an all-male boy band.

The band – later to be known ‘N Sync – was formed in by Timberlake and Chasez in 1995 and they soon recruited three more members: Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick. The group released their self-titled debut album *NSYNC in 1998, which reached number two on the Billboard 200, eventually selling more than ten million copies in the US alone. A total of eight singles were released worldwide, with I Want You Back reaching the US Top 20 and Tearin’ Up My Heart reaching the UK Top 40.

The group’s second album No Strings Attached sold over one million copies in a day (ultimately becoming the biggest selling album of the 2000s) and produced three Top 5 singles: Bye Bye Bye, It’s Gonna Be Me and This I Promise You. This was followed by 2001’s Celebrity, which sold over ten million copies worldwide and spawned the hit singles Gone and Girlfriend. By the time ‘N Sync split in 2002 they had sold over 56 million records worldwide.

After the band separated, Justin Timberlake embarked on a solo career – releasing his first album Justified in 2002. It debuted at number one in the UK and number two in the US, eventually selling more than seven million copies worldwide, and produced the Top 20 hits Like I Love You, Cry Me a River and Rock Your Body.

This was followed by 2006’s FutureSex/LoveSounds, which sold over nine million copies and went straight to number one on the Billboard 200. It produced the chart-topping single SexyBack as well as the hits My Love, What Goes Around…/…Comes Around and Give It To Me.
