O Justin Timberlake

Justin Randall Timberlake is an American singer-songwriter, dancer, businessman, and actor. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The New Mickey Mouse Club as a child. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as the lead singer and youngest member of the boy band 'N Sync, whose launch was financed by Lou Pearlman. During the group's hiatus, Timberlake released his solo studio albums Justified (2002) and FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006); the former spawned hits Cry Me a River and Rock Your Body, while the latter debuted atop the U.S. Billboard 200 and produced the Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles SexyBack, My Love, and What Goes Around… Comes Around. With each album exceeding sales of seven million copies worldwide, he was established as one of the most commercially successful singers. From 2007 through 2012, Timberlake focused on his acting career, effectively putting his music career on hiatus; he held starring roles in the films The Social Network, Bad Teacher, In Time and Friends with Benefits. In 2013, Timberlake resumed his music career with his third and fourth albums The 20/20 Experience and The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2. The first of the two albums became one of the best-selling records of the year and spawned hits Suit & Tie and Mirrors, while the latter is preceded by lead single Take Back the Night. Timberlake's work has earned him six Grammy Awards and four Emmy Awards. His other ventures include record label Tennman Records, fashion label William Rast, and the restaurants Destino and Southern Hospitality
