Born Justin Randall Timberlake on January 31, 1981, the talented singer-song writer first gained regular television exposure as a cast member on The Mickey Mouse Club from 1993 to 1994.
Among Timberlake’s unique talents is his ability to compose and store his songs mentally, rarely using a paper and pen to write down the music and lyrics that come to him. This may explain why Timberlake songs last so long on pop charts, and remain among the top downloaded singles today.
