What do 19-year-old Lance Bass from Mississippi, 22-year-old D.C native JC Chasez, 21-year-old Joey Fatone Jr. of New York, 26-year-old Pittsburgh native Chris Kirkpatrick, and 18-year-old Justin Timberlake of Memphis all have in common? They make up one of the hottest dance-pop vocal groups ever. These five boys from all over the United States met in Orlando Florida, where the Backstreet Boys also originated.

"JC" and Justin first met while performing on the Disney Channel’s Mickey Mouse Club with their good friend Britney Spears. After the Disney show was cancelled, Justin accompanied "JC" back to Tennessee, where they both worked on solo careers in Nashville. A short while later, "JC" and Justin moved back to Orlando where they met Chris Kirkpatrick. The three became fast friends and met up with Joey Fatone while out at a local Orlando dance club. Recognizing the energy that they radiated, this quartet decided to form a group, there was only one thing missing, someone to sing the bass. That is where Lance Bass - yes that is his real name - fits in. Lance puts the finishing touch on the sounds from these five guys that could not be more perfectly described than N’Sync.

In 1997, N’Sync signed a recording contract with RCA Records and recorded their self-titled debut album. It was decided that they would first release their record in Germany, which had also worked earlier for the Backstreet Boys. N’Sync was embraced by the German public while on tour to support the album.

In 1998 N’Sync returned to the states triumphant, confident and ready to release the album in the U.S. With a Disney Channel special, and radio and television exposure, N’Sync has snowballed into one of the biggest pop acts today. You can catch them in a city near you on the "Ain’t No Stopping Us Now Tour 1999" or in the fall opening up for Janet Jackson.
