JC was born on August 8, 1976 in Washington D.C., to
proud parents, Karen and Roy. Shortly after his birth, they
moved to nearby Bowie Maryland, where they were joined by 2
more children, a sister, Heather and a brother Tyler.
His parents saw JC’s talent early in his life, but did not push
him to perform. His mother’s side of the family is very musical,
so JC began singing at a young age and developed a love for
music. The first time JC sang in front of an audience was a
talent showcase. He sang Richard Marx’s “Right Here Waiting
For You”. (I’d pay to see that! I wonder if Karen has it on
video?) JC, ever the perfectionist, insists that he was not
afraid to perform in front of people when he was younger.
“It wasn’t being scared to be in front of people. My thing was
that I have to give them the best that I have. I was always
afraid of things not going well. I’m still always nervous
about what’s going to happen onstage.”
JC landed his 4-year stay on the Mickey Mouse Club at
age 13. It was purely by accident, because he went with a friend
who was auditioning, and they asked him to stick around! Out
of the 20,000 kids who auditioned that year, 10 were chosen,
and JC was one of them! (Justin’s audition had 30,000 kids
and 7 chosen, and Justin was picked!) When JC landed the MMC,
Karen stayed in Bowie with Heather and Tyler, while Roy, set
up a second household in Orlando for himself and JC.
JC appeared in the MMC’s seasons 4-7, and Justin in seasons
6 -7. In JC’s third year on the MMC, a 12 year old
blue-eyed southern cutie joined the club--Justin Timberlake.
The 2 became friends almost immediately and the rest is
“History”. If it wasn’t for the MMC, Justin and JC wouldn’t
have been in Orlando to meet Chris and Joey. *NSYNC might
have never been formed!
JC is the “serious guy” in the group. “I’m like the
sanity in this big mix. Everybody’s got their job. My job is
to remind everyone to be on time. I’m the serious one, and I
like to make sure that everything runs smooth. I’m the guy
who gets everybody to buckle down. As far as finding the
focal point, that’s what I do. When it’s time to buckle down,
I say, ‘This is what we need to buckle down on and why’.”.

Fun Facts and Tidbits:
JC on dating: “If I’m into a girl, I’ll take her on
romantic dates, to see plays. I’ve even been known to
serenade a girl with a song written especially for her”.
(Oh Baby! Sing to me, JC!)
JC is deathly afraid of needles, so while in
Canada, when the group decided to become brothers in ink,
he did NOT get a tattoo! “He almost passed out when we got
our jabs for Africa!” stated Chris. Poor JC!
JC’s First Kiss was when he was around 7 or 8!! He was a
little Romeo even then! He says that it was during a game of
"Kiss Tag" on the playground or something. (Damn....we never
played that at recess when I was little...we really missed some
fun, huh?) I read that her name was Leah Thompson.
Lucky girl! Even then we females couldn’t resist that face!
At age 15, JC thought he was in love. “She was a
beautiful girl, inside and out, but it was a teenage thing.”
He had to move and the relationship ended. (That’s So Sad!)
JC once dated fellow Mousketeer Nikki Deloach, who was
a member of the now extinct girl group Innocence,
managed by Justin’s mom Lynn.
JC used to play hide and seek by hiding under a
laundry basket! (Oh How Cute!)
JC On His Necklace: “Honest, I’m not a real stylish
person. You see that...I wear a leather ribbon with my
starsign around my neck. I bought it at a music festival,
where I was with my parents. My necklace is silver, the
design is Greek. I bought it at a market last June.
I really like it because it’s simple.” I read that he
got his starsign necklace at "King Henry's Feast"-- a dinner
theather in Orlando, but I can't verify it, so i'm gonna stick
with JC's quote.
JC On His Own Personal Style: “My style ranges from
semi-conservative to funky.”
In the *NSYNC video Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays,
look at JC’s goggles. The band says “Scott”, which just
happens to be his middle name!
JC has fond memories of his MMC days, hanging with buds
and fellow Mouseketeers Tony and Dale.
JC calls himself a “workaholic”.
Joey on JC: “He’s very goal oriented. He’s very focused
on what he does.”
Chris on JC: “He talks on the phone all night and I can’t
get to sleep. It’s annoying!”
JC’s Most Embarrassing Moments: Onstage--during a song
his fly broke open! It was open for 2 whole songs before one of
the guys noticed and told him! His tidy whities were showing and
the first few rows got quite a show! Unfortunately, they didn’t
have another pair of pants for JC, but they pinned his fly shut
for the rest of the show! (I wish I’d been at that show!
C'mon ya'll know you we're thinking the same thing1)
Offstage--he knocked down a display of skis or something,
at an exhibition, in front of everyone!
JC says his worst quality is procrastination. He waits
until the last minute to go Christmas Shopping!
JC is the one in the group who likes Jazz, so don’t
be surprised if you see him hanging out in a Jazz club or
coffee house somewhere!
Well, guys, that’s all for now! I LOVE JC and putting
this Bio of him together was so much fun!
Stay *NSYNC Guys! --jcsbouncyball
