Justin Bieber was just a young, Small-town kid from Ontario Canada, when he started to become a YouTube phenom. It all started with a singing competition. Some of Justin's friends and family had no way of making it to the competition, so with the help of his mom, Pattie Bieber, he filmed and posted videos of him singing to the popular video site. He sang hits like Chris Brown's "With You" and Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River". Soon after, the videos started traveling by word of mouth, and word of web. With an up-to-date 26,238,560 channel views and 537,312 subscribers, Bieber is the most subscribed person in Canada and the #25 most subscribed person OF ALL TIME!
Eventually, Justin caught the eye of a music industry big gun: Scooter Braun. Scooter tracked Justin down and got a hold of Justin's mother. Skeptical at first, Pattie turned down the offer of making her son a big-time superstar. After much thinking and persuasion, Braun finally convinced Bieber to give him a shot. Braun flew Justin and Pattie downtto Atlanta to meet up with some producers. In the parking lot of the studio, Justin spotted R&B icon Usher Raymond. Skeptical like Justin's mom, Usher turned Justin down. However, just days later, both Usher and Justin Timberlake wanted to sign then 13 year old Bieber. After much deliberation, Justin partnered with Usher and Island Def Jam/School Boy records.
Currently, Justin has had many hit songs, including: "One Time", "One Less Lonely Girl", "Favorite Girl", "Baby", "U Smile", and "Never Let You Go". He has music videos for 4 of the latter singles, and he has a music video in process for the pop/R&B song "Eenie Meenie". So far Bieber has collaborated with artists like Usher, Ludacris, Sean Kingston, Jessica Jarrel (also signed to Island Def Jam Records), and created smash singles with producers like The Dream. He's already appeared on hundreds of radio shows and talk shows, including The View, Good Morning America, and The Ellen DeGeneres show. He's recently acted and sang on NBC's Saturday Night Live, and he's appeared on Nickelodeon's True Jackson VP, and School Gyrls. Performing for President Obama, and becoming friends with Chelsea Handler, Sean Kingston, and Tina Fey, Justin Bieber is surely on his way to a life of success. We all support him in everything he does, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for Justin!
