JC Chasez was born on August 8, 1976 in Washington DC. He is most famous for being a member of the boy band, NSYNC. His birth name is <a href="/biography/jc-chasez">Joshua Scott Chasez</a> but he likes to go by JC. His surname comes from his adopted parents, Karen and Roy Chasez, who adopted him at the age of five. With his foster family, he moved from Washington DC to Bowie, Maryland. He lived with his brother and sister, Tyler and Heather. The family raised their kids as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mennonites">Mennonites</a> which is a branch of Christianity.

The Mickey Mouse Club

JC studied at the Robert Goddard Middle School. This was a public school located in Maine. JC started to develop his passion for music when he was attending school. He liked the feedback that he got from his peers for his musical abilities. He would not live a life like a normal kid because he would end up on a TV show while he was still attending school. He did not mind the pressure though because he felt that he was born to be a performer.

JC’s first time on a stage was when he took a twenty dollar bet that he would be brave enough to participate in a talent show. He began to start falling in love with performing after that talent show appearance. His mother noticed an ad in the Washington Post. The ad would be the spark that jump started JC’s career. It was 1989 when JC’s mom, Karen Chasez found out that they holding casting tryouts for a show called The Mickey Mouse Club. It was a kids show produced by Walt Disney and it aired exclusively on the Disney Channel. The show was a variety show that had multiple kids acting out skits. They weren’t just a Saturday Night Live for the younger generation though. They also liked to integrate singing and dancing performances by the cast members. The show was a perfect fit for JC who loved to dance and sing.

He was chosen as part of the cast and during the show’s fourth season and he remained a cast member until the show ended in 1995. The show was cancelled because the cast members were getting too old. The popular cast members outgrowing their roles and it was time for them to move on. The show did a bad job at developing new stars so that had no choice but to cancel the show once the top stars were set to leave.

JC had a memorable moment when performed a popular song called Right Here Waiting by <a href="/biography/richard-marx">Richard Marx</a>. The song was a huge hit at the time because of its lyrics. The song was about being so in love with someone that you would wait for years for them because deep inside you knew that was your true love. JC’s performance of the song really allowed him to showcase his singing abilities. He had an impressive voice for a young man and it was a sign that he was going to become a great singer as he grew up. During his many years as a Mouseketeer, he met <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Timberlake">Justin Timberlake</a> with whom he would later form the mega popular boy band NSYNC.

Musical Career

Before The Mickey Mouse Club was cancelled, JC wrote the song Give In to Me. It was the first major step that would lead to professional career as a musician. His musical career when he formed a boy band called in NSYNC in 1995. Along with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Timberlake">Justin Timberlake</a>, he was <a href="/biography/jc-chasez">one</a> of the lead singers because of his strong voice. They got international recognition after they were very well received by fans in Europe during a 1996 tour. Two years after their success in Europe they released their first album which sold eleven million copies. Thanks to their huge success in sales, the band became a very popular band in the United States.

Their second album was a huge hit in the sales chart, selling over 2.4 million copies in just over a week. The album included hit songs like Bye, bye, bye. They were mega stars among the young female audience. They came around at a time when boy bands were very popular in the United States. They competed with other boy bands like the Backstreet Boys and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/98_Degrees">98 Degrees</a>. They ended up being the most popular boy band because the lead singer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Timberlake">Justin Timberlake</a> was beloved by young women. They felt he was very handsome and talented. Even though JC was as talented as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Timberlake">Justin</a>, he did not get the same level of recognition because the girls felt that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Timberlake">Justin</a> was cuter.

The next year, they released another album titled Celebrity. They went on tour that same year to promote their new album. Celebrity sold less than their prior album, with 1.8 million copies sold in the first week on the album. It was a sign that the popularity of the band had peaked.

They boy band eventually broke up as their main star <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Timberlake">Justin Timberlake</a> was set for solo success. He was done carrying the band and wanted to set his own path. The other members like JC also tried to go solo but did not reach the same level of success that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Timberlake">Justin</a> did. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Timberlake">Justin</a> became a huge star and some even consider him to be the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson">Michael Jackson</a> of his era. Unfortunately for JC and the other band mates, their best years were with the band.0

Acting Career

After his music career ended, JC decided to go work in movies and TV shows. He was a <a href="/biography/jc-chasez">judge</a> on the talent show, America's Best Dance Crew which aired on MTV. MTV hired him as a judge because they respected his dancing abilities and knowledge that he displayed when he was in a boy band. JC’s movie career did not pan out like he wanted it to. He never appeared in major movies and only had appearances in small films like Longshot, Killer Movie and Red Sky. He thought it would have been possible to land roles based on his success in NSYNC but he was dealt with the harsh reality of the boy band craze being over.
