Justin lived in Orlando for two years but went back to his home town.  He again returned to the place to participate in a new boy band, at the urging of Chris Kirkpatrick. There, he joined Kirkpatrick, Chasez, Joey Fatone, and Lance Bass and thereby came into existence 'N Sync. Justin was just 14 years old at that time. In 1998, N Sync released their self-titled debut album which was an instant hit.
