Who Is Justin Bieber?  

Justin Bieber is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1994 in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, to a single mother, Bieber took second place in a local talent competition at a young age. After his mother posted YouTube clips of her boy performing, Bieber went from an unknown, untrained singer to a budding superstar with a big-time record deal with Usher within two years. Bieber went on to become the first solo artist to have four singles enter the Top 40 before the release of a debut album. His 2009 album My World has gone platinum in several countries. He later experienced significant media exposure from offensive activity. Nonetheless, the singer made his comeback in 2015 with his first No. 1 song, "What Do You Mean?" His 2017 collaboration with Luis Fonsi, “Despacito,” broke the all-time record for most consecutive weeks at the number one spot on the Top 100.

 

 Career:

By sheer chance, Justin Bieber's future manager, Scooter Braun, stumbled upon one of his YouTube videos while searching for another singer. He immediately flew him to Atlanta, Georgia, and arranged meetings with Usher Raymond, as well as Justin Timberlake. In 2008, he eventually signed to Raymond Braun Media Group, a joint venture between Braun and Usher.

'Baby', the lead single from his debut studio album 'My World 2.0', was released on January 18, 2010, and became an international hit overnight. The album, which officially released on March 19, 2010, reached the top ten charts in many countries, peaking at No.1 in Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

On June 23, 2010, he began his first official headlining tour, the 'My World Tour', from Hartford, Connecticut. He also released an acoustic remix album, called 'My Worlds Acoustic' in November 2010.

'Justin Bieber: Never Say Never’, a music documentary based on the star's life, was released on February 11, 2011, accompanied by his second remix album, 'Never Say Never – The Remixes'. He released the Christmas-themed album 'Under the Mistletoe', on November 1, 2011.

'Boyfriend', the first single from his third studio album 'Believe', was released on March 26, 2012. The album was released from Island Records on June 19, 2012. To promote the album, he started the 'Believe Tour' in September 2012.

In October 2013, he released a sequel to 'Never Say Never’, a biographical concert film titled 'Justin Bieber's Believe'. Prior to the released of the film, he released a new song every Monday for 10 weeks as a lead-up to the film.

His fourth album 'Purpose' was led by the single 'What Do You Mean?' which released on August 28, 2015. It became his first number-one single on the 'Billboard Hot 100' and earned him a Guinness World Record as the youngest male artist to debut at the top of that chart. The next two singles, 'Sorry' and 'Love Yourself', climbed to the peak of the same chart, making him the first artist in a decade, after Justin Timberlake, to achieve this feat.

 Major Works:

Justin Bieber's first full-length studio album, 'My World 2.0', cemented his status as a major artist with hit singles like 'Baby'. The album sold over 3,350,000 copies in the US alone, and received Platinum certification in US, Canada, England, Australia and New Zealand.

His third studio album, 'Believe' is rich in elements of dance-pop and contemporary R&B, and marks his transition from teen pop style. Riding the success of its lead single 'Boyfriend', the album sold over 3 million copies worldwide. It became Platinum certified in US, Canada and Australia, while achieving Gold status in England.

His latest studio album 'Purpose' created records as the first three singles of the album, 'What Do You Mean?', 'Sorry' and 'Love Yourself' reached the top of both the US and UK charts. The album sold over 4.5 million copies worldwide and received Platinum certification in many countries including US, Canada, England and Australia.
