Chris Kirkpatrick - Building NSYNC, Surviving Fame & Starting Over
About this episode
Nicky sits down with Chris Kirkpatrick, founding member of *NSYNC, for a wide-ranging chat about the rise and lasting impact of one of the biggest boybands in history. Chris opens up about how *NSYNC was built from scratch, the early rivalry with Backstreet Boys, and the unexpected twists that shaped his career. He shares personal stories about working with Lou Pearlman, navigating the whirlwind of global fame, and coping with life when the stadium tours stopped. From boyband battles to reunions and fatherhood, Chris reflects with honesty and gratitude on the wild ride that changed his life.
