It’s one thing to have a lot of lucky breaks, but it’s another thing entirely to deliver on them. In his brief career, Bazzi — aka 21-year-old Michigan native Andrew Bazzi — has made the most of his chances. Bazzi’s father, a Lebanese immigrant, supported his son’s artistic leanings, and in 2014 moved the two of them to Los Angeles so that the young musician, then still in high school, could focus on his career.
Justin Timberlake’s and will.i.am’s (aka William Adams) wildly successful song “Damn Girl” won two Grammy awards and went platinum four times. Timberlake’s tour for the Futuresex/Lovesounds album was the subject of an HBO special. There is no denying that the album, song, tour and subsequent merchandise were a smash hit.

Justin Timberlake was already owning the iHeartRadio Music Festival stage with his epic opening set when he asked the crowd, “Can I do something special for you tonight?” Of course the answer was yes, and he didn’t disappoint with his special guest. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m a big fan of this young man”, Timberlake said, milking the introduction. “He’s one of the coolest cats I’ve met, he’s very talented, and he’s about to bless you…
Adam Blackstone, JT’s right-hand man for more than six years, received an Emmy nomination for his work on the Super Bowl LII performance. Within a week of meeting Justin Timberlake on Christmas Eve in 2011, Adam Blackstone was in rehearsals with the pop superstar, and since that day the two have been practically inseparable.

Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears are going to get their attorney fees. Every last dollar of them. After a second trip to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the pop stars have won $737,000 in fees payable by a nonpracticing entity that accused them of infringing a patent on panoramic video displays used in concerts. It’s a nice win for the performers’ lead counsel, Andrew Langsam of Pryor Cashman, who took heat…
Justin Timberlake is already a singer, actor and dancer, but the star is about to add another role to his resume: author. The “Can’t Stop the Feeling” singer announced on social media he’ll be releasing his first book, titled “Hindsight & All the Things I Can’t See in Front of Me”, in October. “Guys, I have some news! I’ve been working on this for a while now and I am happy to finally give you…

Daughtry’s “Deep End” follows in third with 12 pickups, while an add count of 10 slots Alessia Cara’s “Growing Pains” in fourth.
The nominations for the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards were announced via Instagram’s IGTV on Monday (Jul. 16), for the awards to take place on August 20.
