    Artist History
    The group's roots are based in the Orlando meeting of Washington DC born "JC" Chasez, and Memphis, TN native Justin Timberlake on the set of the Disney Channel show, "Mickey Mouse Club." After the show ended, JC and Justin found themselves in Nashville at the same time working with the same vocal coach and writers, but on separate solo projects. Justin was then called back to Orlando, where he hooked up with Pittsburgh, PA expatriate Chris Kirkpatrick. The trio then met New Yorker Joey Fatone in a local Orlando club. The four would go out clubbing where their slick dance-floor moves had everyone wanting to know what group they were in.

    Press Reviews
    “Comprising Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Lance Bass, who hail from various American cities and began their individual careers in acting and modeling, the vocal quintet built a huge following in continental Europe, especially Germany and the Netherlands, before making their U.S. debut in 1998 with IN S_nc.” –Rolling Stone
