Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981), occasionally known by his initials JT, is an American singer, songwriter, actor, dancer, and record producer.
Raised in Tennessee, he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club as a child. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the two lead vocalists and youngest member of NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.
Timberlake began to adopt a more mature image as an artist with the release of his debut solo album, the R&B-focused Justified (2002), which yielded the successful singles "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body", and earned his first two Grammy Awards.

Whoosh, off it goes. WHOOSH!Is this one of those deals where Hipgnosis just takes a little stake in one a bit of a catalogue though?
No. It is not. It covers the whole bloody thing. 100% of all of Timberlake’s song copyrights – including both the publisher’s share and the writer’s share on the performing rights side.Hipgnosis will also admin the fuck out all those rights just as soon as Timberlake’s super tedious current admin deal with boring old Universal is out of the way.So, songs-wise, it’s seemingly the full combo.
Turns out, Timbo doesn’t want any of it. All those songs were just sitting around cluttering the bloody place up. But no more!
