From his different projects, Justin has earned more than $50 million in recent years.

Justin Timberlake Early Life and Career Beginnings

On the 31st of January 1981, in Memphis, Tennessee, a boy named Justin Randall Timberlake was born. Shelby Forest is a little town where he grew up. In addition to the two half-brothers he had from his father’s second marriage, he also had a half-sister who died shortly after delivery in 1997. At the age of four, Timberlake began performing country and gospel music with the help of his grandfather, who had first introduced him to music.

At the age of 11, he performed on “Star Search,” singing as “Justin Randall.” On “The All-New Mickey Mouse Club” in 1993 and 1994, he appeared with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera on a regular basis, as well as Ryan Gosling and JC Chasez. It was manager Lou Pearlman who first brought together Justin Timberlake and Nick Carter to form the boy band that would go on to be known as NSYNC.

Justin Timberlake N’SYNC

After releasing their first album together in 1996 in the United Kingdom, Justin Timberlake and Jermaine Chasez began their own careers. They became a household brand in the United States after the publication of their self-titled debut studio album in 1998, which sold 11 million copies. With “No Strings Attached,” their second album, which sold 2.4 million copies in its first week, they established themselves as a major force in the music industry. The album “Celebrity,” released in 2001, was likewise a huge hit.

Justin Timberlake Solo Success

Despite the general downturn in boyband popularity, Timberlake’s star continued to climb, thanks in part to his appearance in the Disney Channel film “Model Behavior” in 2000. NSYNC disbanded in 2002, but the idea for going solo had already been sown in 2001 when Timberlake teamed up with Pharrell Williams to produce music.

NSYNC recorded Timberlake’s song “Gone” for Michael Jackson in 2001 after Jackson rejected it. A few days after the single was released, Timberlake received a call from Jackson, who said he wanted to record the song with him, but only as a duet with him. “The first time [he] ever really felt the confidence to [go solo],” Timberlake says.

Timberlake’s debut solo single, “Like I Love You,” was published in August 2002, and his debut solo album, “Justified,” was released in November of the same year. By the summer of 2003, Timberlake and Christina Aguilera became co-headliners on the Justified/Stripped Tour, a collaboration between the two former “Mickey Mouse Club” castmates.

After a wardrobe malfunction caused Timberlake to accidently expose one of Janet Jackson’s breasts at the 2004 Super Bowl XXXVII halftime show, he put his music career on pause to seek acting roles. For example, he starred in the 2006 films “Edison Force” and “Alpha Dog” (2006). It was in 2005 that JayTee Records was founded by him, a record company he has run ever since.
