As time goes by people will see who I am for who I am.

Tennessee Born

Justin Timberlake was born in the musical city of Memphis, Tennessee and was raised in the religion of a Southern Baptist as his grandfather was a minister. His parent’s would divorce in 1985. Timberlake would begin his music career by singing country music and would get his first appearance on the television show Star Search under the name Justin Randall but would gain more exposure when he joined the cast of The Mickey Mouse Club with pop starts such as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.

Career in Music

After joining the cast of The Mickey Mouse Club, Justin Timberlake would go on to join what was then called a boy band under the name of N’ Sync. The two lead singers of the group were Timberlake and JC Chasez and would get their start in 1996 in Europe instead of the United States. Their release of the debut album was self titled N’ Sync and would sell over eleven million albums in the United States. The album would include many hit singles such as Tearin’ Up My Heart that would go on to chart in both the United States as well as Europe.

Also during this time, the group was engaged in a legal battle with their long time manager and would eventually split to sign with Jive Records. They would go on to release their next album called No Strings that would go on to sell over two million copies in the first week making it the number one selling album of all time. The single titled It’s Gonna Be Me would make it to the top of the United States charts along with many charts throughout Europe. After a tour for the album, the group would go back in the studio and release Celebrity, interestingly enough that would go on to be the second fastest selling album of all time and would embark on the Celebrity Tour in 2002.

The group would take some time off and at this point Justin Timberlake began pursuing an album on his own. The group would never get back together but they would be very famous. Some of their performances would take them to the Olympics and the Super Bowl and they would go on to be the third best selling boy band of all time.

Solo

His solo career started with a bang with the release of his first album Justified. He would perform solo at the MTV Video Music Awards with the release of his first single off of the album called Like I Love You, which was a cover of a song by The Neptunes. The album was released in November of 2002 but did not do quite as well as the albums released by his old group. It did make it to number two on the Billboard 200 and would go on to sell three million copies in the United States as well as seven million copies worldwide. The album would release a number of singles that would go on to become top ten hits worldwide with songs such as Cry Me A River and Rock Your Body.

He would go on to support the album with the Justified/Stripped Tour and would further solidify his audience base by gaining millions of fans across the globe. From his albums and sales, he has received much acclaim and his many fans have provided countless support for the up and coming singer and actor. His official website will contain free music downloads or at minimum internet screenings of his continuing works as well as a further in depth history of Justin Timberlake as well as his many upcoming tour dates.
