Chris founded *NSYNC in 1995, recruiting Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez, two members of the 1990s Mickey Mouse Club.

He later brought in Joey Fatone, who was working at Universal Studios, and Lance Bass, whom the group met through Justin's vocal coach.

The boy band officially split in 2007, five years after releasing their last song. Chris continued his music career as the lead of his alternative rock band Nigel’s 11, which eventually disbanded due to the members’ geographical distance and Chris wanting to focus on his work as a producer.

The 53-year-old has since appeared on different reality shows, such as Big Brother and The Masked Singer. Last year, he returned to the stage to perform *NSYNC hits during the Pop2000 Tour.
