Born on January 31, 1981 in Memphis, Tennessee, Justin Timberlake is a multi-talented sensation who has conquered the world of music and entertainment. Raised in a city known for its soulful sounds, it was only natural that young Justin would grow up to become one of the best-selling artists of all time, with over 88 million records sold across the globe.
From an early age, Timberlake showed a knack for performing. He appeared on popular TV shows such as Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club during his childhood years. However, it was in the late '90s when he truly made his mark as one of the two lead vocalists of the world-renowned boy band NSYNC. Their music took the world by storm, making them one of the bestselling boy bands of all time.
In 2002, Justin released his first solo album, Justified, a testament to his R&B roots. The album earned him two Grammy Awards and cemented him as a force to be reckoned with in the music world. His second album, FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006), showcased his ability to experiment with various genres. This critically acclaimed work debuted atop the U.S. Billboard 200 and produced three consecutive number-one singles: "SexyBack," "My Love," and "What Goes Around... Comes Around."
Between 2008 and 2012, Timberlake shifted his focus to acting, starring in popular films like The Social Network, Bad Teacher, Friends with Benefits, and In Time. His passion for acting did not mean he had abandoned music; rather, it was a temporary hiatus that allowed him to explore new creative avenues.
In 2013, Justin returned to the world of music with his albums The 20/20 Experience and The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2. These albums showcased neo soul influences, partly inspired by the expansive song structures of '60s and '70s rock. His third album became the best-selling album of the year and produced two top singles, "Suit & Tie" (featuring Jay-Z) and "Mirrors."
In 2016, Justin lent his voice to Branch in DreamWorks Animation's Trolls, providing the film with a chart-topping single, "Can't Stop the Feeling!" This catchy tune earned Timberlake an Academy Award nomination and showcased his versatility as an artist. His fifth studio album, Man of the Woods (2018), debuted atop the US charts and included two top ten singles, "Filthy" and "Say Something" featuring Chris Stapleton.
Throughout his illustrious career, Justin Timberlake has consistently pushed boundaries, both musically and artistically. He has garnered numerous awards and accolades, including ten Grammy Awards, four Primetime Emmy Awards, three Brit Awards, nine Billboard Music Awards, the Contemporary Icon Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
