Joseph Anthony Fatone, Jr, "Joey" for short, was born 28 Jan 1997 in Brooklyn, New York to Joe and Phyllis Fatone, making him their third and youngest child. As a child Joey looked up to his dad who was in a music group called the Orions. "Every time they played I would be singing and stuff like that behind my dad". So when the family moved to Orlando, Florida when Joey was 13 he fit right in. Soon after the move he became friends with several other kids who also loved to entertain. These new friends included several cast members of the Mickey Mouse Club, one of which was fellow `N Sync member JC Chasez. Joey soon landed a job at Universal Studios performing in the Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue show. He also did some work as an extra in various tv shows, including SeaQuest DSV. Joey is considered the happy guy of `N Sync. Always ready with a smile he can't stand when the other members of the group are grumpy so he does his best to cheer them up. He's also the most daring when it comes to fashion statements. Chris says "Joey makes the most fashion faux pas. he does have a style, but it's out there. It's crazy. He's got one suit he wears that makes him look like Elmo! It's weird, red and it makes his hips look really big." Joey confesses that he's got a pair of jeans "with fiber optics down the side and they light up!" In his spare time, the little he has these days, you find find Joey either dancing at the local happening spot, jet-skiing, or sleeping. Joey says that he enjoys the travelling that has come with being part of `N Sync, "I love visiting different places"
