James Lance Bass was born on May 4, 1979, in Laurel, Mississippi, and raised in Ellisville. From a young age, Bass developed an interest in space and singing, participating in his church choir and local performance groups. This passion for performance led to a significant turning point in his life during his junior year of high school in 1995 when he was invited to audition for *NSYNC after being recommended by Justin Timberlake’s vocal coach. Despite initial challenges with dancing, Bass became an integral member of the group, which quickly gained popularity in Europe before signing with RCA in 1997. *NSYNC achieved massive success, releasing hit albums like “No Strings Attached” (2000), which became the fastest-selling record of all time, and “Celebrity” (2001). The group sold over 56 million records worldwide before an indefinite hiatus in 2002.
Following his musical career, Bass explored diverse opportunities in entertainment. He starred in and produced the 2001 film “On the Line” through his production company, Bacon & Eggs. He also founded Free Lance Entertainment in 2000, a music management company that released Meredith Edwards’s debut album “Reach.” In 2007, Bass made his Broadway debut as Corny Collins in “Hairspray” and published his memoir, “Out of Sync,” which became a New York Times bestseller. His interest in space exploration led him to undertake cosmonaut training in Russia in 2002, becoming certified by NASA and the Russian Space Program. Although financial backing issues prevented him from joining the Soyuz TMA-1 mission to the International Space Station, he remains a vocal advocate for space travel and serves as the National Youth Spokesperson for World Space Week.
Bass’s personal life also saw a significant development when he publicly came out as gay in 2006. This decision, though initially impacting his acting career, allowed him to become an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, receiving the Human Rights Campaign Visibility Award in 2006. He married Michael Turchin in 2014, making them the first same-sex couple to exchange vows on cable television, and they welcomed twins in 2021. Bass continues to engage in media, hosting a pop culture radio show “Dirty Pop with Lance Bass” on Sirius XM and various podcasts. Philanthropically, he established The Lance Bass Foundation in 2001 to support low-income children’s health needs and is involved with environmental and animal welfare causes.
