ORIGIN
Justin Timberlake is an American pop singer, songwriter, actor, and record producer. Regarded as the President of Pop, he rose to fame in the late 90s as lead vocalist to the boy band NSYNC. He expanded his boundaries by becoming a solo artist, starring in blockbuster movies, and venturing into outside businesses. He is the recipient of a mind-blowing number of awards and accolades which include 10 Grammy Awards, 3 Brit Awards, 4 Emmy Awards, and 9 Billboard Music Awards. Justin Randall Timberlake was born on January 31, 1981, in Memphis, Tennessee. He is the son of Charles Randall Timberlake and Lynn Harless. His siblings include two half brothers, Jonathan and Stephen, and one half-sister, Laura who died shortly after birth. He grew up in Shelby Forest, a small community, and started singing in a church choir. Apparently, his family was no stranger to music and had a long history of musicians dating back to his grandfather. His grandfather nurtured his talent, taught him to play the guitar, and introduced him to music from the likes of Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash. Timberlake’s uncle was part of a band and his father introduced him to the works of Eagles and Queen. As a result, young Timberlake was well nurtured in a wide diversity of music. Memphis, being the home to blues, also got him hooked on the likes of B.B. King. At the age of 11, he started off singing gospel music. He also made his first step toward becoming an actor.

CAREER
In 1995, the world was introduced to the boy band NSYNC. Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez were the lead vocalists. Selling over 11 million copies of their self-titled debut album, the group quickly rose to prominence throughout the United States. Hit Single “Tearin’ Up My Heart” made headlines. The second album “No Strings Attached” (2000) and the third “Celebrity” (2001) proved financially successful. Featuring No. 1 single “It’s Gonna Be Me,” both albums collectively sold millions of copies. Other noteworthy singles included “Bye Bye Bye,” “Pop,” and “Girlfriend.” The group began touring worldwide, performing at major venues, and became the third-best-selling youth band in history.

In 2002, NSYNC dispersed and Justin Timberlake started his career as a solo artist. That year, his debut solo single “Like I Love You” peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and ranked #2 on the UK Singles Chart. His debut album “Justified,” released November, debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 and performed fairly well. Notable singles included “Cry Me a River” and Rock Your Body. Timberlake worked with The Neptunes and Timbaland incorporating an RnB style into his music. He soon began touring with Christina Aguilera on the Justified/Stripped Tour and sponsoring McDonald’s on the Justified and Lovin’ It Tour.

In 2004, Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl halftime performance with Janet Jackson made headlines. What started out as a magnificent performance, ended with Timberlake accidentally ripping apart Jackson’s leather costume, explicitly exposing her to over 140 million viewers. The media coined the term wardrobe malfunction following the event. Finishing the year on a positive note, Timberlake received two Grammy awards, for Best Pop Vocal Album (Justified) and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. Throughout his solo career, he collaborated with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Nelly, Black Eyed Peas and Nelly Furtado. In 2005, Timberlake started his own record label; JayTee Records. His second solo album “FutureSex/LoveSounds” was released in 2006. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts. Featured hit single “SexyBack” proved to be a chart-topper. The single occupied the #1 spot for several weeks. The following year, two other songs, “My Love” and “What Goes Around…/…Comes Around Interlude,” would grace the #1 spot. After 2007, Timberlake stepped away from music temporarily and focus on his acting career.

In 2013, he returned to the scene with the hit single “Suit & Tie.” He then released another album “The 20/20 Experience” that March. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and eventually went double platinum. Part two of the album was released shortly after and it too topped the charts. In 2016, Timberlake released the single “Can’t Stop the Feeling” which went straight to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song charted in over 16 countries. In recent work, Timberlake released the song “Filthy.” The single will be featured on his upcoming album “Man of the Woods” set to launch in February 2018.
