He was born on January 31, 1981, in Memphis, Tennessee. He started to gain interest and learnt singing at Baptist Church, where his father was a choir director. His grandfather introduced him to music and met country artists like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson. After his parents got divorced, Justin lived with his mother in Memphis; he is more dear to his mother as he often refers to ‘his best friend’ in various interviews. “I have some faint images from my childhood,” he told THR, “but no, I can’t really remember not being famous.” @justintimberlake/Instagram In 1991 when he was 11, he made his debut in a television show, ‘Star Search’, where he lost to Anna Nardona. Though he didn’t win ‘Star Search’ yet consider himself lucky as if he would’ve won, he would never have made it to another milestone. In 1993 and 1994, he got an opportunity to work in The All-New Mickey Mouse house Club where his castmates consist of his future girlfriend Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, JC Chasez, Ryan Gosling and Keri Russell. After the show got called off, Justin had to go to school for a year. In 1995 boy band NSYNC boy band was formed. Timberlake and Chasez were the lead singer of the band and began their euphoric journey in Europe.

After giving successful albums, NSYNC performed at Academy Awards, Olympics and the Super Bowl and sold 70 million copies worldwide, which became the fifth best selling boy band in history. Justin starred in the movie ‘ Model behaviour’, which was telecasted at Disney Channel, released on March 12, 2000. The more successful of Justin caused trouble to NSYNC, which led to the dissolution of the band. In 2002, Justin partnered with Pharrel Williams. At the beginning of 2001, he wrote a song for Michel Jackson named ‘ Gone’. In 2002 when Justin performed at 20021 MTV Awards, he launched the ‘Like I Love You’ track which scored number two on the UK Singles Chart.

In 2013, his fourth studio album, The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2was released on September 30. He started to act and give the voice-over in various movies, which became popular across America.
