                  The five young men who make up 'N Sync came from all over the
                  U.S. to form a band in Orlando, FL that then became an overnight
                  sensation in Germany. Confused? You needn't be. JC, Joey, Justin,
                  Lance and Chris have come together, with a self-titled debut RCA
                  Records album. The record, originally released on BMG Ariola
                  Munich, was produced by several top-name producers, including
                  dancemeister Denniz Pop (Ace of Base, 3T, Robyn), and has
                  already sported two giant European smashes in the anthe@c
                  pop-soul of "I Want You Back" and the dance-floor pulse of
                  "Tearing Up My Heart," each of which has gone Gold throughout
                  Europe, and are starting to break through in the U.K.
                  Although their handsome mugs have been plastered all over music
                  magazines on the Continent, 'N Sync are not just your
                  flash-in-the-pan teen idol act. Show business veterans all, the group
                  are accomplished singers and dancers who have studied under the
                  same choreographer who's worked with Prince and Michael
                  Jackson. Showing their versatility, 'N Sync's repertoire includes the
                  simple pop bliss of Christopher Cross' "Sailing."
                  The group's roots are based in the Orlando meeting of Washington
                  DC bom "JC" Chasez, and Memphis, TN native Justin Timberlake
                  on the set of the Disney Channel show, "Mickey Mouse Club." After
                  the show ended, JC and Justin found themselves in Nashville at the
                  same time working with the same vocal coach and writers, but on
                  separate solo projects. Justin was then called back to Orlando,
                  where he hooked up with Pittsburgh, PA expatriate Chris
                  Kirkpatrick. The trio then met New Yorker Joey Fatone in a local
                  Orlando club. The four would go out clubbing where their slick
                  dance-floor moves had everyone wanting to know what group they
                  were in.
                  Thus inspired, the quartet decided to form a band and started
                  looking for a bass voice. Thru Justin's vocal coach in Tennessee,
                  the group hooked up with blonde-haired, green- eyed, 18-year-old
                  Clinton, Mississippi crooner James Lance Bass AKA Lance, who
                  fit right in with his characteristic basso profundo. The bandmates
                  may have come from all over, but JustiN, ChriS, JoeY, LansteN
                  (Lance's occasional nickname) and JC discovered immediately
                  they were 'N Sync.

                  James Lance "Lantsen" Bass: Describes himself as "rather laid
                  back and addicted to harmony." He is the shyest member of the
                  band. Listens to everything "from Boyz R Men to Offspring." Likes
                  to play video games. Earned his high school degree through a
                  tutorial program offered by the University of Nebraska. Goals for the
                  future include "learning about music management, starting a family,
                  and driving a Toyota 4-Runner." Lives with his father and mother in
                  Orlando and is a freshman in college.

                  Joshua Scott "JC" Chasez: Served as one of the hosts of the
                  "Mickey Mouse Club" for four years. Likes to play football and
                  watch his favorite team, the Washington Redskins. Loves listening
                  to "the jazzy and soulful sound between Billie Holiday and Stevie
                  Wonder." Lives in Orlando with bandmates Chris and Justin, and
                  Justin's mom.

                  Joseph "Joey" Anthony Fatone Jr.: Appeared in small roles in
                  movies "Once Upon A Time In America" and "Matinee" and on TV
                  series, "Sea Quest." Sang in an a cappella group. "I feel most
                  comfortable on stage," he says, "Or in front of the camera. No
                  matter what I do, I go at it full-tilt and can't be stopped." Favorite
                  activity aside from performing: flirting. Lives with his parents and
                  siblings in Orlando.

                  Christopher "Chris" Alan Kirkpatrick: The oldest member of the
                  group at 27, but the biggest cut-up. Discovered his singing ability
                  when he joined the choir in college. A big football fan whose
                  favorite food is tacos. His musical tastes vary from "Michael
                  Jackson to hard-techno music... The most important thing is you get
                  the groove."

                  Justin Randall Timberlake: At 17, he's the youngest member of the
                  group and still in high school. His hobbies include playing
                  basketball, watching the Orlando Magic and dancing. "I'm a real
                  party animal," he says. "When the others let me go to parties." His
                  greatest musical influence is singer Brian McKnight. He lives with
                  his mother and fellow 'N Sync members JC and Chris in Orlando,
                  not far from the band's rehearsal studio, an old warehouse. "It really
                  exhausts you when you jump around four times a week for three to
                  five hours in 90-degree heat," he says.
