About Justin Bieber
Justin was discovered when a former executive for So So Def, Scooter Braun, accidentally clicked on one of his videos while he was trying to scope out a different artist. He was impressed by what he saw, and tracked down Bieber and Mallette to invite the then-13-year-old to fly out to Atlanta, Georgia, to record demos. After impressing R&B singer Usher, who continues to serve as his mentor, Justin was introduced to L.A. Reid of Island Def Jam.
Today, Bieber is an internationally known musician who has sold 150 million records. He is incredibly well known, in the music industry, and was one of Hollywood’s heartthrobs of the 2010s.
Justin is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and actor, and has won numerous awards for his music career. He was born in Stratford, Ontario, to a single teen mother, Pattie Mallette. As a child, he had an immediate knack for music, teaching himself to play the drums, piano, guitar and trumpet. Mallette would post videos of her son performing songs on YouTube for their family and friends.
Growing up Justin learned how to play four instruments, and he started singing at an early age. When he was twelve years old, he won second place in a local singing competition and his mother posted a video of his performance on YouTube. After this performance video, Justin and his mother continued posting videos of him singing covers of various R&B songs, and his popularity grew.
When he was thirteen years old, Justin was discovered by a talent manager named Scooter Braun. Braun took an interest in him after searching for videos on YouTube of singers and stumbling upon Justin’s YouTube videos. He was impressed, and decided to tracked Justin down by finding the theater he was performing at. Though his mother was reluctant to let him work with Scooter, because of their difference in religion, she let Justin travel to Atlanta with his new talent manager to record demos. Just one week later Justin began singing for Usher.
Bieber’s debut EP My World, which was released in late 2009, was a smashing hit. He became the first artist to have seven songs from a debut record chart on Billboard Hot 100. Justin then released his debut studio album in 2010, called My World 2.0. This album contained his hit single “Baby,” which is included on Billboard’s list of “100 Songs That Defined the Decade”.
Since then, Bieber’s career has soared and he has expanded into other areas. Justin launched his first fragrance, called Someday, in 2011. This fragrance earned $3 million dollars in sales in the US in just under three weeks. He has released three more fragrances since then, and a more recent deodorant line called Here +Now, which launched in 2019.
Through his hugely successful studio albums, endorsements that are rare but for large and notable companies, and multiple world tours, Justin Bieber has become incredibly rich.
