Wanna know where the guys came from and
how
they got their start? Well here is the whole
story!
How do five young men born in five different
cities
get to be *NSYNC? Well, as far as the guys
are
concerned it was strictly kismet (which is
another
word for fate)! They came together in a
common
city where none of them were born, but all
of they
seemed destined to live. JC Chasez came to
Orlando,
Florida to do a television show on the
Disney
Channel called the Mickey Mouse Club
("MMC").
During the first year that he was here,
he met
Joey Fatone through a mutual friend
and
started hangin' out with him.
Two years after JC started doing MMC, they
added
seven new cast members to the show, one of
whom
was Justin Timberlake. JC and Justin were
cast
together in several music numbers on the show
and
discovered that they had a really nice
musical
blend.
In the mean time, Joey was busy going to
school,
doing plays and musical, and landing a job at
the
Universal Studios where he met another
extremely
musically talented employee named
Chris
Kirkpatrick.
Well, after another 2 years, MMC ceased
production,
but by that time JC and Justin were
bitten
by the show biz bug and they knew that
they
had to find another project to work on. They
were
working with the same vocal coach and
writers
in Nashville, Tennessee on separate solo
projects
when Justin was called to audition for a
group
guess where...back in Orlando.
Well, that group didn't work out, but there
was
one guy that Justin really hit off with, Chris
Kirkpatrick.
While in Orlando, the guys got together
for
a night on the town. At a local dance club, Chris
and
JC ran into their old friend Joey and
introduced
him to Justin. The guys clicked instantly.
In fact,
they were so good together on the dance
floor
that everyone wanted to know wanted to
know
what group they were in. Well, the seed
had
been planted. They got together to harmonize
a little
and check out their sound and of course it
was
the perfect blend. The only thing that was
missing
was a good bass voice.
The guys began to look around for the perfect
person
to round out the group. They checked out
the
local high school and college chorus members
before
Justin decided to call up an old vocal coach
of his
in Memphis, who he knew coached several
guys.
He said " I only know of one person who may
be the
kind of guy that you're looking for. His name
is Lance
"Lansten" Bass. He is sixteen years old
and
he lives in Clinton, Mississippi."
Well the guys contacted Lance and asked him
to come
down for an audition. He flew down two
days
later. As soon as Lance opened his mouth to
sing
the guys knew that he was the one. The rest,
as they
say, is history.
The five guys got together and it didn't take
them
long to figure out that JustiN, ChriS, JoeY,
LansteN,
and JC were *NSYNC. Now they have
put
together some dynamite sounds, some great
original
tunes, some really kickin' dance routines
and
their electric personalities to do the thing that
they
all love the most....entertain!! There's only one
thing
left to do andthat is for you to get *NSYNC!
