The iTunes Festival in an annual, month-long music festival and concert series that takes place in September and started in 2007. It has grown to become one of London's most exciting live events and this year is no different than any other. Some of the biggest names in the music business have already performed at The Roundhouse art centre in London this month, and millions all over the world have been able to enjoy the performances as well thanks to a live stream.
This month, the festival started with Lady Gaga, who delivered an outstanding performance and previewed the best songs of her new album ARTPOP. Of course, fans were going "gaga" over this inventive lady and applauded Apple's decision and ability to book her to open a great month full of amazing music. Elton John, Pixies, Kings of Leon, Ellie Goulding, Paramore, Kendrick Lamar, Robin Thicke and Jessie J were also other headliners this year, and their performances have left everyone wanting more.
Unfortunately, good things come to an end, and as the last day of the month approaches, we're saddened that the festival will be over. But not before we put on our suits and ties and tune in to enjoy the master Justin Timberlake, who has proven to be one of the few Disney stars with a successful adult career in entertainment without any major scandals. Well, except the Super Bowl nipple incident with Janet Jackson.
As a child, Justin appeared on the TV shows "Star Search" and "The New Mickey Mouse Club." In the late 1990's he rose to prominence as the lead singer and youngest member of the boy band N'Sync, and after years of melting teenager's hearts, the band called it quits. However, Justin decided to try a career as a solo artist, which worked out perfectly for him.
He released his first solo studio album "Justified" in 2002 with hits like "Cry Me a River" -- which caused a bit of controversy since it was released after a very public breakup with Britney Spears and the girl in the video, had a striking resemblance to Justin's former sweetheart -- and "Rock Your Body." Four years later he released "FutureSex/LoveSounds in 2006, which debuted at the top of the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, and produced the Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Sexy Back," "My Love" and "What Goes Around... Comes Around." With those albums he was established as one of the most commercially successful singers.
From 2007 through 2012, Timberlake focused on his acting career, effectively putting his music career on hiatus. However, he still managed achieve success in this other venture. He held starring roles in the films "The Social Network," "Bad Teacher," "In Time" and "Friends with Benefits." Nevertheless, music being his first passion, he was cooking up a very interesting project while acting and released it in 2013, returning to drive girls crazy with his sexy voice and sleek dance moves. He released his third and fourth albums "The 20/20 Experience" and "The 20/20 Experience: 2 of 2." The former became one of the best-selling records of the year and spawned hits "Suit & Tie" and "Mirrors", while the latter is preceded by lead single "Take Back the Night."
Of course, Justin is an award winning artist, having earned six Grammy Awards and four Emmy Awards. His other business ventures include record label Tennman Records, fashion label William Rast, and the restaurants Destino and Southern Hospitality.
