Biography

JOEY FATONE first rose to fame as a member of the record-shattering, multi-platinum boyband *NSYNC; but his career as a global pop icon was just the beginning. Over the past decade he has gone on to find success as an actor, host, Broadway star, voiceover artist, dancer, and media personality with a number of hit television shows under his belt.

Fatone, a founding member of iconic boy band *NSYNC (a frequent Max Martin collaborator), made his Broadway debut in 2002 as ‘Mark’ in RENT, and went on to play ‘Seymour’ in Little Shop of Horrors in 2004 before joining the Broadway cast of & Juliet in the role of ‘Lance’ earlier this year.

Following *NSYNC’s incredible success with albums that sold over 10 million copies and countless awards; Joey proved to be a prominent performer and personality in his own right. With projects spanning from television, film and Broadway, his talent has no boundaries. Joey’s energetic spirit is unstoppable as he taps into his entrepreneurial side with Fat Ones, a hot dog business based in Orlando, FL. In November of 2019, during Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival Eat to the Beat series, Joey performed three days of successful shows titled, Joey Fatone and Friends. Fans packed the theater and were entertained by Joey along with Chris KirkPatrick, Ryan Cabrera, Nathan Morris of BOYZ II MEN, MC Search and more. He continues to do this concept currently at Epcot, Tampa and other cities in the US.
In August of 2021 of that year, Joey Fatone brought together some of the biggest pop superstars for a perfect, intimate evening of pop-culture classics and fun for a sold-out residency in Las Vegas. The AFTR PRTY featured Joey Fatone, Wanya Morris, Nick Carter and AJ McLean.
 
MTV VMA’s 2023, Fatone reunited with NSYNC as presenters, causing the reunion to go viral. The buzz created by the iconic boy band perfectly segued into their first song release in 22 years, called “Better Place” which is featured on The Trolls 3 soundtrack.  Fatone also made a surprise appearance as the voice of ‘Ablaze’ alongside his *NSYNC bandmates in Trolls 3 Trolls Band Together. The iconic group also released their second song, “Paradise”, featured on Justin Timberlake’s new album. During JT’s LA show, the group did a surprise performance for the fans – creating their second viral moment to date – proving their status is timeless.
 
Continuing on the pop star course – last year Joey, with fellow pop icon AJ McLean, of Backstreet Boys, presented a national tour called “A Legendary Night”. An intimate night of comedy, intimate conversations and of course music.
 
Loyal fans got their fix when Fatone returned to the Broadway stage in the role of ‘Lance’ in & Juliet, running from early 2025 through the summer. He continues to perform and host events throughout the US.
