Justin Timberlake’s Lucky Musical Break

Radio 1 reports that Justin Timberlake says if kids don’t get opportunities to learn music in class, they may miss out on a music career. That’s why he has his own charity called the Justin Timberlake Foundation which gives money to music programs in schools. “I grew up in a small town, Millington, Tennessee, and at my school there really was no music program, and if I hadn’t urged my mom to take me to voice lessons privately, and buy me a guitar and get a piano, I wouldn’t have learned music,” Timberlake explained. “It may have changed the path that I went down. Especially when you’re at a young age, anything that occurs can totally change a path.”
