As one fifth of the multiplatinum *NSYNC, Timberlake is responsible for the monster htis "Pop," "Gone" and "Girlfriend" on the group's last album Celebrity. With *NSYNC sales of over 30 million worldwide, Timberlake is ready to temporarily branch out on his own for his highly anticipated solo effort, Justified.

Justin was born to Lynn and Randy Timberlake on January 31, 1981 in Memphis, Tennessee and began his search for stardom at the age of 11 when he performed on "Star Search."

The performance on "Star Search" didn't warrant him a win, but that didn't stop him as he joined up with a group of future superstars including Britney Spears, Keri Russell, Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling and his fellow *NSYNC mate JC Chasez.

Timberlake became a member of the pop group *NSYNC at the age of 14 and in 1998 they released their self-titled debut album.

In 2002 Justin released Justified and also became much more of a target for the paparazzi as his relationship with his high profile girlfriend, Britney Spears, fizzled.

Timberlake will be making his feature film debut in Edison set for release sometime in 2005.
