Justin Timberlake was born on March 2, 2000, at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital in Albany, Georgia. He has an older brother named Jimmy and a younger sister named Jayla. As a young child, Justin developed a passion for role-playing and singing, which was encouraged by his family.
One of his earliest memories of performing was when he received a karaoke machine for Christmas at the age of four. He would spend hours belting out his favorite songs and pretending to have a large audience. This early introduction to singing helped him develop his vocal skills and stage presence.
Justin's love for acting began to take shape when he auditioned for the school play, Fiddler on the Roof, in the third grade. He was selected to play the role of a villager and quickly fell in love with the process of acting. He went on to participate in several school plays, including Hello Dolly and Thoroughly Modern Millie.
In February 2011, Justin's soccer game was canceled due to rain, and he convinced his dad to take him to the Deerfield Windsor School, where he had attended school since first grade. There, he met talent scout Marla Brettel and auditioned for a role, wearing his soccer uniform. He impressed them with his performance and was asked to attend a weekend workshop in Atlanta called "A Day in the Life."
The workshop provided Justin with the opportunity to work with industry professionals and learn various skills, including improv, musical theater, TV and film, dance, commercial, and runway. He also got to perform in front of a live audience and showcased his singing and improv skills.
Since attending the workshop, Justin has had the opportunity to work on several projects, including a music video for Christian music artist TJ Mauldin and a SAG-qualified film called Truth Seekers: The Music Of Souls, directed by Gaylord Parsons. He has also worked as a double for Devan Leos in Madea's Witness Protection and had a small part in Clint Eastwood's production, Trouble With The Curve.
With the help of Marla Brettel, Justin has been represented by Atlanta Models and Talent and Bohemia Group, and he continues to work on his craft, taking weekly acting classes, singing at camps, and attending auditions. Justin remains dedicated to his passion for performing and is always looking forward to his next opportunity.
