Early Career and Rise to Fame with *NSYNC
Joshua Scott Chasez, born on August 8, 1976, in Bowie, Maryland, demonstrated an early passion for music and dance. By the age of 13, he was actively participating in and winning national dance competitions, adding singing to his repertoire. At 15, Chasez’s career in show business began with his inclusion in the cast of “The Mickey Mouse Club.” This role provided him with a significant platform, featuring in the show from its fourth season until its conclusion in 1996. It was during this time that he shortened his name to JC, distinguishing himself from another cast member named Josh. On “The Mickey Mouse Club,” Chasez worked alongside future *NSYNC bandmate Justin Timberlake, as well as other emerging stars such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Ryan Gosling. In 1994, at the age of 18, Chasez co-penned the song “Give Me The Love I Need” which appeared with his lead vocals on the debut album of jazz saxophonist Euge Groove.
In 1995, Chasez joined the boy band *NSYNC, formed by Lou Pearlman. *NSYNC’s popularity grew rapidly, initially in Europe, and then expanding to America and globally. Their debut album, “NSYNC” (1997), sold 11 million copies. The group performed at high-profile events, including the World Series, the Super Bowl, and the Olympic Games. *NSYNC collaborated with artists such as Elton John, Aerosmith, Mary J. Blige, Nelly, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion, and Gloria Estefan. In 1998, Chasez contributed vocals to Blaque’s “Bring It All To Me.” During his time with *NSYNC, the band released three studio albums: “NSYNC” (1997), “No Strings Attached” (2000), and “Celebrity” (2001).
Solo Career and Subsequent Ventures
Following *NSYNC’s hiatus, JC Chasez pursued a solo career. In 2002, he released his solo single “Blowin’ Me Up (With Her Love),” which he also co-produced. Two years later, in 2004, he released his solo album “Schizophrenic.”
In 2007, JC Chasez left Jive Records, resulting in the shelving of his second full-length album, “The Story of Kate.” Although some singles from the album were released online, the full project remains unreleased. Justin Timberlake produced the album and praised JC Chasez’s vocal ability in an MTV interview.
Beyond his solo work, JC Chasez wrote and produced for various music acts, including Girls Aloud, Basement Jaxx, David Archuleta, Matthew Morrison, and the Backstreet Boys. From 2008 to 2012, he served as a judge on MTV’s “America’s Best Dance Crew.” In 2012, he was involved in the formation of the girl group Girl Radical. In 2014, JC Chasez joined the touring North American production of the rock opera “Jesus Christ Superstar,” playing Pontius Pilate. That same year, JC Chasez was one of many guest artists to appear on a collaborative album from Smokey Robinson entitled “Smokey & Friends.” In 2015, he appeared on a Blues Traveler track entitled “Blow Up the Moon,” also appearing in the song’s official video, and in 2016, he appeared as a fictionalized version of himself in the comedy film “Opening Night.”
JC Chasez’s net worth of $16 million is primarily attributed to his successful music career, including album sales, songwriting royalties, production credits, and television appearances. His early success with *NSYNC significantly contributed to his financial foundation, while his subsequent solo work and ventures into television and production have further solidified his financial standing. Royalties from *NSYNC’s hit songs such as “Bye Bye Bye” and “It’s Gonna Be Me” continue to provide a steady income stream.
Real Estate Investments
JC Chasez has been linked to at least two luxurious properties over the years. The first was in Orlando, Florida, a mansion he and his parents purchased in 2000 for $1.2 million during the band’s glory days, and which he later sold for a reported $1.775 million. The other is a home in Los Angeles, also bought in 2000 for a little over $1 million.
