Joshua Scott "JC" Chasez (/ˈʃɑːzeɪ/; born August 8, 1976) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actor, and dancer.

He started his career as a singer, actor, and dancer on The All New Mickey Mouse Club before rising to prominence as a member of the boy band NSYNC in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Chasez has written and produced for a wide variety of music acts such as Liam Payne, Diplo, Backstreet Boys, McFly, Sugababes, Victoria Duffield, and Matthew Morrison.

During his time on the show, he befriended future bandmate Justin Timberlake and performed alongside Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Keri Russell, Ryan Gosling, Rhona Bennett, and Tony Lucca.

After The All New Mickey Mouse Club, Chasez attempted to pursue a solo music career in Los Angeles, but decided to return home to Maryland after he was left feeling cheated.

[11] In 1998, the band released its debut album *NSYNC which sold 11 million copies, earning them popularity in the United States with four number one singles including Tearin' Up My Heart and (God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You.

Producer Dallas Austin asked Chasez to record the song "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)" for the Drumline soundtrack, which was later released as a single.

[36][37] The album featured production from Chasez's former NSYNC bandmate Timberlake,[38] Timbaland,[37] Dallas Austin,[39] Jimmy Harry,[37] and Emanuel Kiriakou.

[42] Chasez performed material from the new album during guests spots on TV shows Ghost Whisperer,[43] Las Vegas,[44] and Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious.

[47] Though the Story of Kate was never released, Chasez continues to work as a songwriter and producer, with songs written for David Archuleta,[48] Matthew Morrison[49] and Backstreet Boys.

In November 2010, the song "IF U C Kate" written by Dallas Austin, Taio Cruz, Alan Nglish, and Chasez was featured on the British band McFly's album, Above the Noise.

In February 2012 Chasez and producer Jimmy Harry held auditions for an all-girl group[55] which was formed in November the same year under the name Girl Radical.

[59] In 2014, Chasez was selected to join the North American tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber's rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar as Pontius Pilate.

[65] In April 2019, Chasez and bandmates Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick performed with Ariana Grande as part of headlining set at Coachella.
