Eventhough Justin was born in Memphis, Tennessee, JC in Washington DC, Joey in Brooklyn, New York, Chris in Clarion, Pennsylvania and Lance in Laurel, Mississippi and they weren't related in any way, in 1995 these 5 boys became 'N SYNC.

Now the hometown of the boys is Orlando, Florida. They have the same manager as the Backstreet Boys, but he wasn't really the person who brought them together. They did that themselves. JC went to Orlando to be in a show on the Disney Channel called the Mickey Mouse Club (MMC). Over there he met Joey through a mutual friend. A few years later Justin joined the cast of the MMC and there he met JC. They became friends and after the show was canceled they stayed friends and they wanted to stay in the showbiz. In the mean time Joey and Chris were both working at Universal Studio and they became friends.When Justin went back to Orlando to audition for a group, he met Chris. THat group didn't work out and Chris brought up the idea of starting a group. When he, Justin and JC were together one night, they ran into their friend Joey. They guys became good friends and began singing together. They liked the sound, but something was missing. Justin called his old voice coach and that's when they first heard of Lance. They called up Lance and he took the next plane to Orlando. When he began to sing in front of the guys the others knew that he was the right person for them.

So that's how 'N SYNC started. Their name has a double meaning. First, if you put all last characters of their names together (justiN, chriS, joeY, lansteN and jC) you find 'N SYNC and second, 'N SYNC means all together at the same time, and that's what they do. They have great and funly dance routines and their voices harmonize perfectly. So that's the story about 'N SYNC.
