Justin Drew Bieber is a pop star, singer and musician whose dramatically sudden popularity has rocketed him into international stardom. He was born in 1994 on March 1st and at the time of this writing is only sixteen years old. A mere two years ago he was an unknown living a normal teenage boy’s life at home with his single mother Pattie Mallette in Stratford Ontario Canada.
When Justin Bieber’s mother first became aware of his musical abilities she hoped he would become a Christian rock star. He had taught himself how to play guitar and keyboard and soon was playing for small change on the streets of his small Canadian hometown. In his first summer of performing he earned three thousand dollars in tips. He used this new-found source of income to take his mom with him for a visit to Disneyland. It was a nice sum of money for a poor fourteen year old kid but it was nothing compared to the fame and fortune which would soon be literally knocking on his door.
His mother Pattie had taken some videos of him performing at amateur contests and like any proud mom might do, posted them to YouTube for her friends and family to view. While these started to gain some views from outside of their circle of acquaintances they were literally stumbled on by a man who would change Justin Bieber’s life forever.
On July 2009, while still recording his debut album, Bieber’s single, “One Time” was released in the radio. After merely a week, the song charted within the top 30 in over ten countries and was a certified Platinum in Canada and the US, and Gold in Australia and New Zealand. Before fall ends, on November 17, 2009, his debut album My World was released.
But for Justin the hard work was just beginning. A relentless and grueling schedule of tours, appearances and advanced musical and performance training soon followed. The young man was up to the challenge. He refined his skills and public persona.
Justin Bieber has achieved in a short span of 16 years. And doesn’t look like he is slowing down either. Apart from lending his voice for the “We are the World” remake , he has hosted the Grammys, won at the AMA , performed for the president of USA, released his own movie, plenty of product launches like the Justin Bieber doll and of course, his music and concerts.
