N Sync N Da Beginning
 

Band History

        Many wonder how five guys (Chris Kirkpatrick, Josh "JC" Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and JustinTimberlake) from five different states and cities can possibly come together and make one group?  Of course most *N Sync fans know the bands amazing history, but for those fans that need a reminder or just don't know how they became *N Sync, I will tell you!  These guys are truly in sync, no pun intended, their fabulous voices come together so well and so beautifully that many fans wonder how we could possibly live with out them!  So how did it start?
 
 

 
 

Before they knew each other.

        Well, it all started with Christopher Alan Kirkpartrick, then 24, in 1995 when he wanted to start a band.  At the time he was working at Universal Studios as a doo-wop singer, there he met Joseph Anthony Fatone, then 19, who also working at Universal, they became friends.  At the same time Joshua Scott Chasez then 19 and Justin Timberlake then 14 had just finished their work on The Mickey Mouse Club.
 
 

The "Web" or in other words how they got together!

        Well, as said before it all started when Chris had an idea for a group.  He contacted Justin, who was now jobless (MMC was Done!) who he knew from a various auditions. Justin who knew JC from the MMC. They all went to a club and saw Joey there, they both knew eachother  Chris and JC (and MAYBE Justin, I am not sure.. can someone let me know?) met Joey at a club and asked him to join.  Joey was an old friend of JC's and of course know Chris from work.  However, Joey had never seen the two together and needless to say was a little shocked to see them together!  They now had formed a great group with nice harmonies and a "nice airy sound but we wanted a round sound"  as JC said once.  So through so search Justin found James Lansten "Lance" Bass through an old vocal coach who had recommended Lance.  He was flown into Florida from Mississippi.  They sang some songs and Lance immediately joined the group.
As Jc says, "IT's like there are five pieces it's like your hand.. that's it"



 

Who said it was all in the name?

They brainstormed for weeks with out any luck; nothing fit them and there unique sound.  Well, one day Justin's mom mentioned how "in sync" they were with their dancing and singing.  The boys liked it but weren't really convinced, so Lynn ( Justin's mom) started playing with their initials from their first and last names, but had nothing but a bunch of random letters or at least nothing that would be considered a word in
  the English Dictionary!  So she started to mess with the last letter in their first names and came up with JustiN ChriS Joey LansteN and JC.  The guys were now convinced that this was meant to be their group name!
