Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber is a Grammy Award-winning Canadian pop star who was discovered via YouTube. His latest hits include "Let Me Love You," "Despacito (Remix)" and "I'm the One."

Who Is Justin Bieber?

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 , went platinum in several countries. He later experienced significant media exposure from offensive activity. Nonetheless, the singer made his comeback in 2015 with his first number one 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. Bieber broke another record in early 2020 when the success of Changes made him the youngest artist to have seven albums reach the top spot on the Billboard Hot 200.

According to Wealthy Gorilla , Justin Bieber’s net worth is $285 million as of 2019, thanks to his music sales, merchandise, product endorsements, touring and other business ventures.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin

After Bieber and model Hailey Baldwin were frequently spotted together during the summer of 2018, TMZ reported that the two had gotten engaged during a dinner in the Bahamas on July 7. The lovebirds had previously dated before splitting in 2016, even enduring a "long period of time when we weren't friends," according to Bieber, before rekindling their friendship and then their romance.

Bieber and Baldwin reportedly obtained a marriage license at a New York City courthouse on September 13, 2018, just two months after getting engaged. According to TMZ, Bieber was overheard saying, “I can’t wait to marry you, baby." Later that year he confirmed he was a married man.

On September 30, 2019, the couple held a second, larger marriage ceremony at the Montage Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, South Carolina.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

Teen idol Justin Bieber broke the hearts of many of his young female fans in 2010 when he started dating television actress and singer Selena Gomez . It wasn't easy for Gomez to be Bieber's girlfriend, as she was accosted by some of his devoted followers. There were even death threats posted against her on Twitter after the pair was photographed kissing while on a 2011 vacation. The couple ended their relationship in November 2012, though they remained in touch on and off. In November 2017, Bieber and Gomez were spotted together publicly several times, stoking rumors that they had gotten back together.

Gomez's chart-topping ballad "Lose You to Love Me," released in fall 2019, was speculated to be about her relationship with Bieber.

Justin Bieber’s Albums and Songs

Bieber’s debut album, My World , hit stores in November 2009, selling more than 137,000 copies within a week. In 2010, Bieber released My World 2.0 , which offered his growing fan base 10 new songs. Never Say Never was released in 2011, with a holiday album, Under the Mistletoe , coming out the same year. In 2012, the album Believe sold 374,000 copies in its first week, before the disappointment of the following year's Journals , a downbeat album without a hit single.

Bieber made a big comeback in 2015 with Purpose , which became his fifth million-selling record in the U.S. by the end of the year . Following the release of Changes in February 2020, the 25-year-old became the youngest artist to have seven albums reach the top spot on the Billboard Hot 200, breaking the record once held by a 26-year-old Elvis Presley .

Some of Bieber’s hit songs include:

Bieber's first single, "One Time," went certified platinum in his native Canada shortly after its release in May 2009.

Bieber broke into the Billboard Top 10 in early 2010 with "Baby," which also featured rapper Ludacris .

“All I Want for Christmas Is”

In 2011, Bieber released an album featuring his own take on such holiday classics as "All I Want For Christmas Is," his duet with Mariah Carey .

“Boyfriend”

Bieber had another hit single in April 2012 with "Boyfriend," which appeared on his 2012 album Believe .

"Beauty and a Beat"

In October 2012, amid controversy over his offensive behavior, Bieber released another Top 10 hit with this party anthem featuring Nicki Minaj .

“Where Are Ü Now”

Bieber nailed a summer Top 10 hit with the Diplo and Skrillex collaboration "Where Are Ü Now" in 2015, helmed by R&B songwriter Poo Bear. In 2016, Bieber landed his first Grammy, winning for "Where Are Ü Now" in the category of Best Dance Recording.

“What Do You Mean?”

In October 2015, Bieber landed his first No. 1 single with "What Do You Mean?," also produced with Poo Bear.

“Despacito”

In January 2017, Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Luis Fonsi released the hit “Despacito” on YouTube; the video soon became the most-watched video of all time on YouTube. A few months later, after hearing the song in a nightclub in Colombia, Justin Bieber asked Fonsi to collaborate on a remix. Their song went on to hit the number one spot on the Hot 100; after 16 consecutive weeks in the top spot, it broke the all-time record as the longest-standing chart-topping song in August 2017.

"I Don't Care"

Thanks in part to a surreal video, Bieber enjoyed more success with this spring 2019 collaboration with Ed Sheeran , a breezy track which went to No. 1 in several countries and topped out at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

When and Where Was He Born?

Justin Bieber was born on March 1, 1994, in the small town of Stratford, Ontario, Canada.

Justin Bieber has said he’s 5-foot-9-inches tall. However based on photographs of the star next to other celebrities, there has been speculation that he measures in at 5-foot-7-inches.

Justin Bieber’s Dad and Mom

Justin Bieber was raised by a single mom. His dad, Jeremy Bieber, left to start a family with another woman. According to some media reports, Justin and his father weren’t close growing up; his dad has been at times described as being a “deadbeat” who only resurfaced after Justin achieved YouTube fame. Jeremy reportedly considered becoming a rapper himself and has struggled with addiction problems. It was also reported that Justin had been partying with his dad just before his January 2014 arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

Despite their allegedly complicated relationship, Justin has maintained that he and his dad are close. In 2010, 16-year-old Justin told Seventeen magazine: “I have a great relationship with my dad. When I was younger, he taught me how to play some songs on the guitar, like ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’ by Bob Dylan .” Justin’s first tattoo, a seagull that he got in 2010, matches one his father has.

In February 2016, Justin told GQ magazine, “I’m a lot closer to my dad than I am to my mum.” Two months later, Justin attended a party to celebrate his dad’s engagement to girlfriend Chelsey Rebelow. When Jeremy became a father again in August 2018, Justin welcomed little sister Bay to the family.

YouTube & Rise to Fame

Bieber always had an interest in music. His mother gave him a drum kit for his second birthday and, as he tells it, he was "basically banging on everything I could get my hands on." But it was an obscure talent contest in his hometown, in which the 12-year-old Bieber finished second that put him on the road to superstardom. As a way to share his singing with family, Justin and his mom began posting clips of Bieber performing covers of Stevie Wonder , Michael Jackson and Ne-Yo on YouTube.

Within months, Justin was an Internet sensation, with a large following of fans and an eager manager arranging for the teenager to fly to Atlanta to consider a record deal. There, Bieber had a chance meeting with Usher, who eventually signed the young singer to a contract.

Calvin Klein Ad

In the spring of 2015, Justin Bieber was featured in a prominent Calvin Klein ad with Dutch model Lara Stone. The shots, which show a grown-up Bieber stripped down to his underwear, were a fan favorite.

A year later, Bieber was featured in another Calvin Klein ad campaign, this time with model and reality star Kendall Jenner .

'Never Say Never' Movie

In 2011, Bieber took to the big screen in the concert documentary Never Say Never . His fans crowded movie theaters to catch him in action on stage and get a glimpse of his life behind the scenes. The movie, which eventually earned more than $73 million at the box office, also had guest appearances by Kanye West , Miley Cyrus and Bieber's musical mentor Usher.

Courting Controversy

While still only in his teens, Bieber survived his first public scandal. A woman filed suit against Bieber in 2011, claiming that he was the father of her child. But a DNA test proved that the young pop star was not the father and the woman dropped her lawsuit. Bieber sang about the scandal in the song "Maria."

That was only the beginning of a string of scandals, bad behavior and unfavorable press for the young pop artist. In March 2013, Bieber's neighbor accused the singer of spitting on him, in addition to making threatening comments. Two months later, denizens of Bieber's neighborhood in Calabasas, California, complained that he was driving too fast in a residential area.

On April 15, 2013, Bieber visited a museum in Amsterdam that paid tribute to Anne Frank . Upon writing that the young Holocaust victim "would have been a Belieber," he faced more backlash from the public. On July 9, 2013, his image was scrutinized once again after he was recorded urinating in a janitor's bucket and yelling "F--- Bill Clinton ," holding a photo of the former president. Although he later apologized, his previously squeaky clean image began to tarnish even more.

On January 14, 2014, Bieber's home in California was searched after he was accused of egging a neighbor's house. Nine days later, Bieber was arrested for suspicion of drag racing and driving under the influence. After a Breathalyzer test showed that Bieber wasn't sober, he was taken into custody where he stayed until he posted bail, which was set at $2,500. The charges were eventually reduced to resisting arrest.

Health Battles

As he matured into his 20s, Bieber seemed intent on cleaning up his act and largely managed to avoid embarrassing incidents. However, the pop star still drew attention for his personal issues, particularly when it was reported in February 2019 that he was being treated for depression.

Bieber confirmed his situation in March, posting a photo to Instagram of himself praying with Kanye West, with the caption: "Just wanted to keep you guys updated a little bit hopefully what I’m going through will resonate with you guys. Been struggling a lot. Just feeling super disconnected and weird.. I always bounce back so I’m not worried just wanted to reach out and ask for your guys to pray for me. God is faithful and ur prayers really work thanks .. the most human season I’ve ever been in facing my stuff head on.."

In a January 2020 Instagram post, Bieber revealed that he had recently battled a case of mononucleosis and been diagnosed with Lyme disease.

Docuseries: 'Justin Bieber: Seasons'

In late January 2020, the artist debuted his 10-part YouTube docuseries, Justin Bieber: Seasons . The first episode, titled "Leaving the Spotlight," focused on his retreat from the public eye after cancelling the final weeks of a tour in 2017 and his journey back to recording again, with later episodes delving into his marriage and battles with depression.

Updated by Andrew Mcintosh

Published Online April 10, 2012

Last Edited February 16, 2016

Justin Drew Bieber, singer, songwriter, actor (born 1 March 1994 in London , ON ). Teen pop phenomenon Justin Bieber exploded on to the mainstream music scene in the summer of 2009 after first becoming a YouTube sensation. With a string of hit singles from a quick succession of top-selling albums — he is the first artist to have five No. 1 records on the Billboard album chart before his 19th birthday — he quickly became one of the biggest pop stars and celebrities in the world. He consolidated his popularity with music videos , concert films, television appearances and global touring. His fans, called “Beliebers,” have made him a social media superstar. While generally less admired by music critics, he has sold more than 15 million albums, and won many Canadian and international awards, including multiple Juno Awards , a Grammy Award and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal.

Early Years

Bieber was born in London , ON to 18-year-old Pattie Mallette and 19-year-old Jeremy Bieber. His parents never married and split up when he was a toddler, though his father has remained actively involved in his life. Bieber grew up in low-income housing in Stratford , ON, with his mother, who worked a series of office jobs. He showed a facility for music as early as age four. As a child he took drum lessons and taught himself how to play piano, guitar and trumpet.

In 2007, after Bieber competed in a local singing contest with a cover of Ne-Yo’s “So Sick,” his mother uploaded a video of his performance to YouTube for friends and family to see. It became a viral hit, so she uploaded several other videos of the baby-faced, mop-topped teen singing R&B and pop songs, including clips of him busking on the steps of the Stratford Festival ’s Avon Theatre. He earned more than $3,000 from busking, which paid for a vacation he and his mother took to Disney World.

While researching another singing prospect, American talent executive Scooter Braun discovered Bieber’s YouTube clips, which had amassed more than one million views. Braun flew the 13-year-old to Atlanta, GA, to record and meet with R&B star Usher, who arranged an audition for him with Antonio “L.A.” Reid of Island Def Jam Music Group. Justin Timberlake also expressed interest in the young singer, but Reid signed Bieber to Island Records in October 2008. Bieber and his mother moved temporarily to Atlanta, where Braun became the teenager’s manager; Bieber also had vocal lessons and private tutoring, as well as “swagger coaching” from stylist Ryan Good.

Recording Sensation

Bieber quickly achieved international commercial success. His first single, "One Time," released in July 2009 while he was still recording his debut album, was a Top 20 hit in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany. It was certified platinum in Canada and the US, and was followed by three more hits: "One Less Lonely Girl" was a Top 10, platinum-certified single in the US; while the promotional singles "Love Me" and "Favorite Girl" were Top 20 hits in Canada and cracked the Top 40 in the US. His seven-song EP My World debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 album chart when it was released in November 2009, and became the first debut record to have seven songs chart on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was certified double-platinum in Canada and the UK, and platinum in the US, Germany and Austria.

On the strength of this success, Bieber made a string of media appearances in the fall of 2009 and performed for President Barack Obama during the annual Christmas in Washington television special. Bieber was also invited to sing on a remake of "We Are The World" and a cover of K'naan 's "Wavin' Flag," both of which were organized to raise money for Haitian relief efforts following the earthquake there in early 2010.

Bieber’s momentum was maintained when a second album, My World 2.0 , quickly followed in March 2010 and debuted at the top of the sales charts in Canada, the US, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. Bieber became the youngest male solo artist to achieve that feat in the US since Stevie Wonder in 1963. The album had a slightly more mature sound and a bigger R&B element than his debut. The lead single, "Baby," featuring rapper Ludacris, became a ubiquitous international hit, reaching No. 3 in Canada, No. 5 in the US and No. 1 in France. “U Smile,” “Never Let You Go,” “Somebody to Love” and “Eenie Meenie” (with Sean Kingston) also charted well internationally; the latter two were certified platinum in the US. My World 2.0 charted in the Top 10 in 20 countries and sold over five million copies worldwide.

In order to exploit the enormous youth appeal of Bieber's blend of bubblegum pop and soulful R&B, and to give the singer an opportunity to prove that his voice could stand on its own without studio augmentation, My Worlds Acoustic was released in November 2010. The album, which included nine acoustic versions of songs from My World and My World 2.0 , and a new track titled "Pray," charted in the Top 10 in Canada and the US, and was certified platinum in Canada.

Never Say Never — The Remixes followed in February 2011. It featured remixes of songs from Bieber’s debut EP, with guest appearances from Miley Cyrus, Chris Brown, Kanye West and others. It reached the top of the album chart in the US, where it was certified platinum, peaked at No. 5 in Canada and also charted well internationally. Bieber's 2011 holiday album, Under the Mistletoe , featured new and old Christmas songs. It debuted at the top of the American album chart, making him the first solo artist to have three No. 1 albums in the US before his 18th birthday. It also topped the Canadian chart, and was certified triple-platinum in Canada and platinum in the US.

Bieber’s voice deepened due to puberty while he recorded his next studio album, Believe (2012), which featured a bigger dance-pop component than his earlier material. Bieber had songwriting credits on 12 of the album’s 13 tracks. A huge international success, Believe was the biggest selling album in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the US. It featured the international hit single "Boyfriend," which was followed up the charts by “As Long As You Love Me,” “Beauty and a Beat,” “Right Here” and “All Around the World.”

Believe Acoustic , featuring three new songs as well as acoustic and live versions of those found on Believe , was issued early in 2013. It was certified platinum in Canada and topped the sales charts in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Spain and the US, making Bieber the first artist to have five No. 1 records on the Billboard album chart before his 19th birthday.

Online Reach

In 2010, Bieber was named the most searched-for celebrity on the Internet by search engine Ask Jeeves.

In March 2014, he was “liked” by over 63 million people on Facebook and became only the second person (after Katy Perry) to reach 50 million followers on Twitter. Even members of his inner circle, such as his manager Braun, videographer Alfredo Flores and musical director Dan Kanter, have more Twitter followers than many high-profile celebrities.

Bieber has appeared in more than 20 of his own music videos and been featured in videos by Chris Brown, will.i.am and Maejor Ali. He continues to be a YouTube sensation — the number of times his clips and videos have been viewed is now measured in the billions. His video for "Baby" (featuring an appearance by Canadian rapper Drake ) held the record for the most views on YouTube with more than 800 million until it was surpassed by Psy’s “Gangnam Style” in December 2012. “Baby” was also certified as having one billion views on Vevo, a music video website, in February 2014.

Touring and Public Appearances

Bieber launched his My World tour in 2010, playing arenas and amphitheatres across North America from June to December. The following year, he moved on to large venues in Europe, Asia, South America, Israel, Australia and Mexico. In total, 1.4 million fans attended 88 shows that grossed over $88 million.

Bieber embarked on the extensive Believe tour in September 2012 and performed across North America for four months. The tour resumed after a short break and covered Europe, Dubai and South Africa before returning to North America for another leg in the summer of 2013. Six weeks off the road were followed by another long run of shows in Asia, the Caribbean, Central America, South America and Australasia.

Bieber’s public appearances over the years have drawn large crowds and occasionally made headlines for devolving into mob incidents. In November 2009, Braun was charged with reckless endangerment, criminal nuisance and endangering the life of a child after a crowd of fans at a mall in Garden City, Long Island grew frenzied and unruly while awaiting an autograph signing. In April 2010, Bieber’s appearance on a morning television program in Sydney, Australia was cancelled after eight fans sustained minor injuries when they were trampled by a crowd of over 5,000. A similar incident occurred in Oslo, Norway in 2012.

Film, Television and Publishing

Bieber further enhanced his reputation as a teen heartthrob by starring in the 3-D concert film biopic Justin Bieber: Never Say Never , which included performance and backstage footage, and was released over the Valentine's Day weekend in 2011. The film grossed $99 million worldwide. A subsequent concert film biopic titled Justin Bieber’s Believe premiered on Christmas Day in 2013. It failed to match the success of its predecessor, grossing only $6.2 million at the domestic box office after a limited run.

Bieber had a guest role playing a troubled teen on the 11th season premiere of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in September 2010. He was a musical guest on numerous television shows, and also became a commercial pitchman for the anti-acne skin-care product Proactiv. He has appeared at numerous awards shows, either performing or being honoured.

Bieber's appearance on a variety of magazine covers helped sell millions of copies. HarperCollins published his memoirs in a book titled First Step 2 Forever: My Story in October 2010. Several other books have also been written about him. Bieber’s mother, Pattie Mallette, co-wrote a book titled Nowhere But Up: The Story of Justin Bieber’s Mom that was published in September 2012.

Business Ventures

Bieber has a fragrance called Someday, and his wealth has enabled him to invest millions of dollars into several startup technology companies, including Spotify, Tinychat, Stamped, Sojo Studios and Beats Audio.

Organizational Involvement

Bieber is a celebrity spokesperson for the Pencils of Promise charity, which builds schools in developing countries. He also appeared in a public service announcement in support of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and contributed a public statement to the It Gets Better campaign to help prevent bullying against LGBT youth.

Controversies

While Bieber is a professed Christian who started his career with a clean, boyish image, he has gained notoriety for questionable behaviour and has had several run-ins with the law since becoming an international superstar. He was the subject of a paternity suit in November 2011 and another in May 2013, both filed by women several years older than him. The first was dropped after a DNA test disproved the claim. He was also the focus of an alleged murder plot hatched by two New Mexico men in February 2013.

Bieber has been accused of violence against photographers, who he felt were harassing him, and a former bodyguard sued him in January 2013 after claiming the singer berated and punched him during an argument. A southern California neighbour of Bieber accused him of battery and making threats during an argument two months later, but no arrests were made. That same month, Bieber was forced to leave behind a pet capuchin monkey in quarantine while touring in Germany.

Bieber angered many people in February 2013 when he visited the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, and wrote a note in the guest book saying that, if Anne had survived, he hoped she “would have been a Belieber.” Two weeks later, a stun gun and drugs were found on his tour bus in Stockholm, Sweden. Bieber was accused of spray-painting graffiti in Colombia and Brazil in November 2013, and is also alleged to have visited a brothel while there.

Things got worse for Bieber in January 2014. He was accused of vandalism after allegedly throwing eggs at a neighbour’s home and, when Los Angeles police searched his home, a friend was arrested and then released on bail. That same month, Bieber was arrested in Miami Beach, FL, on suspicion of driving under the influence, driving with an expired license and resisting arrest without violence. He was jailed but released shortly afterward when he posted $2,500 in bail. A post-arrest drug test conducted by police allegedly found that Bieber had THC (a component in marijuana) and the anti-anxiety medication Xanax in his system at the time of his arrest. Bieber surrendered to Toronto police on 29 January after he was charged with assaulting a limousine driver in December. He was released and ordered to appear in court at a later date.

This bad publicity prompted the creation of an online petition calling for Bieber’s deportation from the US. It was presented to President Barack Obama after it passed the 100,000-signature threshold required for a White House response.

Culture History

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and pop sensation who gained international fame at a young age. Discovered on YouTube in 2008, he quickly rose to prominence with hits like “Baby” and “Sorry.” Bieber is known for his versatile vocal range and has evolved from a teen idol to a mature artist, contributing to various genres of music.

Justin’s interest in music surfaced early in his childhood. Growing up, he learned to play various musical instruments, including the guitar, piano, drums, and trumpet, showcasing a natural aptitude for melodies and rhythms. His talent did not go unnoticed, especially within his family, where his mother recognized his potential and encouraged him to pursue his passion.

Justin’s introduction to the world of entertainment happened in a rather unconventional way. At the age of 12, he participated in a local singing competition, where his mother recorded his performance and uploaded it on YouTube for friends and family to see. Little did they know that this seemingly casual act would change Justin’s life forever.

Scooter Braun, a talent manager, accidentally discovered Justin’s YouTube videos while searching for a different artist. Impressed by Justin’s raw talent and charismatic presence, Braun tracked him down and eventually became his manager. In 2008, at the age of 14, Justin Bieber signed a record deal with Island Records, a subsidiary of Def Jam Recordings, under the mentorship of Braun and R&B singer Usher.

Justin’s debut single, “One Time,” released in 2009, marked the beginning of his meteoric rise to fame. The song, with its catchy melody and infectious energy, garnered attention not only in his native Canada but also internationally. “One Time” was a commercial success, and its music video accumulated millions of views on YouTube, setting the stage for Justin’s swift ascent to stardom.

The release of his debut extended play (EP), titled “My World,” followed shortly after the success of “One Time.” The EP featured a blend of pop and R&B, showcasing Justin’s versatility as an artist. His undeniable charm, boy-next-door looks, and vocal talent resonated with a predominantly teenage fan base, creating what would be known as the “Belieber” phenomenon.

“My World” was a commercial success, and Justin Bieber became the youngest solo male artist to have a debut album hit the top of the Billboard 200 chart since Stevie Wonder. The EP included hit singles like “One Less Lonely Girl” and “Favorite Girl,” solidifying Justin’s presence in the music industry.

As Justin’s popularity skyrocketed, he continued to break records and set milestones. His full-length debut studio album, “My World 2.0,” released in 2010, featured the international smash hit “Baby,” which became one of the most-watched music videos on YouTube at the time. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, making Justin the youngest solo male artist to achieve this feat since 1963.

Beyond his musical accomplishments, Justin Bieber’s impact extended to social media, particularly on platforms like Twitter and Instagram. He became one of the first artists to leverage these platforms to connect directly with fans, building a massive online following. The term “Beliebers” became synonymous with Justin’s dedicated fan base, and their unwavering support played a crucial role in his continued success.

However, along with fame came the inevitable challenges of navigating adolescence in the public eye. Justin faced criticism and scrutiny, with various incidents making headlines. Despite these challenges, he continued to release music that resonated with audiences globally. His 2012 album, “Believe,” showcased a more mature sound, reflecting his growth both as an artist and an individual.

In 2014, Justin took a brief hiatus from the spotlight to focus on personal and emotional well-being. During this time, he faced legal issues and public scrutiny, prompting him to reevaluate his life and priorities. The introspective period resulted in a comeback marked by personal growth and a renewed commitment to his craft.

Justin’s return to the music scene in 2015 with the album “Purpose” marked a significant turning point in his career. The album featured hits like “Sorry,” “Love Yourself,” and “What Do You Mean?,” showcasing a more introspective and vulnerable side of Justin. “Purpose” not only topped charts worldwide but also earned critical acclaim for its mature sound and honest lyricism.

The accompanying “Purpose World Tour” became one of the highest-grossing tours of 2016, cementing Justin’s status as a global superstar. The success of the album and tour demonstrated his ability to reinvent himself and connect with a broader audience beyond his initial teen fan base.

In addition to his musical endeavors, Justin Bieber has made forays into acting, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship. He appeared in the documentary-concert film “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” in 2011, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at his life and rise to stardom. Justin has also been involved in various charitable initiatives, supporting causes like Pencils of Promise and Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Justin’s personal life has been a subject of public interest throughout his career. His on-again, off-again relationship with pop star Selena Gomez garnered significant media attention. In 2018, Justin surprised fans by announcing his engagement to model Hailey Baldwin, now Hailey Bieber. The couple got married in a civil ceremony in New York City in 2018 and later hosted a larger celebration with family and friends in 2019.

Throughout his career, Justin Bieber has been open about his struggles with mental health, substance abuse, and the challenges of navigating fame. In 2020, he released the docuseries “Justin Bieber: Seasons,” providing a candid and intimate look at his life, relationships, and the making of his album “Changes.”

“Changes,” released in 2020, marked another chapter in Justin’s musical evolution. The album explored themes of love, commitment, and personal growth, reflecting his experiences as a married man. While the album received mixed reviews, it showcased Justin’s willingness to experiment with his sound and share his journey through his music.

Justin Bieber continues to be a prominent figure in the music industry. He released a surprise gospel-inspired EP titled “Freedom” in 2021, showcasing his exploration of different genres. Justin’s ability to adapt to changing musical landscapes and connect with audiences across generations reaffirms his enduring impact on popular culture.

Is Justin Bieber really old enough for a biography?

A s if Justin Bieber's supernova status were not already bewildering enough for anyone past the age of majority, the baby-faced Canadian singer, who looks even younger than his 16 years, has just announced his first memoir, First Step 2 Forever: My Story, via HarperCollins. He may not be the youngest celebrity to write an autobiography – Drew Barrymore and Charlotte Church were both 15 when they published, respectively, 1990's Little Girl Lost and 2001's Voice of an Angel: My Life (So Far) – but he is the only one who can also boast a forthcoming 3D biopic (apparently helmed by the Oscar-winning director of An Inconvenient Truth, no less) about his prodigious rise.

Explaining this explosion in Bieberology, the singer gave potential readers some idea of the kind of pulse-pounding prose they can expect: "My fans have played such a large part in all of this and they help me live my dreams every day . . . This is just another way to say thank you to my fans."

He has a lot to thank them for. A long, long time ago, in early 2007, Bieber's mother posted on YouTube a clip of her 12-year-old son performing Ne-Yo's So Sick at a singing contest in Stratford, Ontario. The clip's phenomenal popularity won him a deal with Island Records and his 2009 album My World gave rise to commercial superlatives, making him the youngest solo male US chart-topper since Stevie Wonder in 1963, the first artist ever to score seven hit singles from a debut, and the star of t he most-viewed YouTube clip to date (Baby stands at over 270 million views).

Bieber is a distinctly modern celebrity, discovered and nurtured by fans on the internet. He was a Twitter trending topic for months until Twitter changed the rules in May to reflect spiking popularity rather than consistent mentions. When Lily Allen made the mistake of mocking Bieber on the social network, she was quickly savaged by some of his 4 million followers. (Judging by his Twitter feed , First Step 2 Forever will be generous with the exclamation marks!!)

The Bieberholics' fervour is not in doubt. The singer's manager was charged with reckless endangerment and criminal nuisance after fans mobbed a Long Island mall while waiting to see their idol. The anti-Bieber camp is active too, hacking his YouTube clips, spreading death rumours and hijacking an online poll to choose a "bonus country" for his world tour (half a million wags voted for North Korea). But there's nothing his detractors can do to halt Bieber's march, nor the inevitable blockbuster sales of First Step 2 Forever. The question is not if there will be a sequel, but how soon he can get away with one.
