From an article from the Times (UK) April ’04: Put up for adoption at the age of five, when his single mother found herself homeless, he (JC) grew up trying to fit in with his new family rather than going to dance classes and dreaming of being famous. “I still see my real mom,” he says. “But we never had any money and she thought it was best I was brought up with a real family, with brothers and sisters. The last thing on my mind was being a pop star.”

Justin’s parents divorce when he is three
Chris appeared in Oliver! in 5th grade (NPO)
“John McConnell is one of those people who truly can say, “I knew him when.” The former Oil City High School music teacher was casting a high school production of the musical “Oliver!” in 1984. After auditioning nearly 100 children from area elementary schools for the lead children’s role, he saw one boy who stood out above the rest. The show’s star ended up being a sixth-grader from one of the Oil City elementary schools who arguably went on to achieve great things. That boy, Chris Kirkpatrick, grew up to be part of one of today’s most popular singing groups – ‘N Sync. And McConnell apparently had quite an impact on the youngster. In fact, his significance in Kirkpatrick’s life was strong enough to lure a film crew from the VH1 television series “Driven” to Franklin last week to talk to McConnell about the pop star. The series chronicles the early lives of performers and traces the influences that drove them to stardom.”

Mickey Mouse Club goes off the air; and Justin and JC both go to Memphis for awhile (Justin to be a normal kid and JC to record demos) and then return to Orlando to get back into show business. From NOB – for JC, after MMC, LA for a couple of months, then lived in Nashville before going back to Orlando
MTV: How long did it take for you two guys to hook up though and think that you could make something go? JC: I was singing on his demos. Justin: Yeah we were in Nashville. After we finished with the TV show, after the TV show was over, we went and did some demo work together in Nashville. After that for about a year we were together doing a little demo work. But the group originated with Chris…
From The Herald (UK newspaper, 4/30/04) about JC: The Mickey Mouse Club finished when he was 17, after which he joined a troupe that toured US bases throughout Europe. When he returned to America, he planned to go to college, but kept writing material until one day he was reunited with Timberlake in Nashville, where they were working with the same voice coach. Timberlake invited him to his place in Memphis, where they spent a month writing and recording. It wasn’t long before *NSync was formed, along with Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass and Joey Fatone, and their debut album sold 10 million.
TJ Fantini, in E!’s Child Star Confidential (6/06), claims that after MMC ended that he went to LA for three months to go on auditions, and he lived with JC and Nikki DeLoach. He also said that he was living with JC when JC got the call to join Nsync.
