Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981) is an American pop singer-songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor. He has won six Grammy Awards as well as an Emmy Award.

Justin Timberlake came to fame as a lead singer of the pop vocal harmony group ("boy band") 'N Sync, whose launch was financed by Lou Pearlman. In 2002, he released his debut solo album, Justified, which sold more than 7 million copies worldwide.
