Justin Drew Bieber, a pop sensation from Canada, shot to stardom after his original song "One Time" went viral on YouTube. He's one of the youngest and highest-paid artists in today's music industry.

Childhood

Justin Bieber was born in Stratford to Jeremy Bieber and 17-year-old Pattie Mallette. Shortly after the boy's birth, the couple separated, Jeremy started a new family, leaving young Justin to be raised without a father. After her husband's departure, Pattie found herself working multiple jobs, with her parents, Michael and Diane Mallette, stepping in to assist in raising their grandson.

Justin became fascinated with music at an incredibly young age - on his second birthday, his mother gifted him a drum set, an instrument he showed incredible talent for and quickly learned the basics of. He later independently learned to play the guitar, piano, and even the tuba.

Maybe his talent runs in the family - Justin's mother has a beautiful voice, his father plays the guitar, and his grandmother was an accomplished pianist. One day, young Bieber attended a local festival, pulled out his guitar, and started to play. Gradually, an audience gathered, enjoying his performance and tossing the young musician a few dollars. Justin ended up collecting a decent amount of money, but instead of spending it on video games or cool clothes like most kids would - he fulfilled his mother's long-held dream and took her to Disneyland.

Initial Tunes

In 2007, 12-year-old Justin entered the local talent contest "Stratford Idol." Despite going up against professional musicians, the self-taught kid surprisingly snagged second place with Ne-Yo's "So Sick." Pattie uploaded a video of her son's performance to YouTube and was blown away by the response. She then uploaded several more videos of Justin covering hits by well-known artists.

Soon, word got around the small town that someone named Scooter Braun was looking for Justin Bieber. Justin's mom, worried some crazy person was stalking her son, told Scooter to "leave them alone" when he reached out. But it turned out Braun was a manager for So So Def Records who'd stumbled across Justin's video - and it completely blew him away. He had to work with this kid.

It took some serious convincing from Justin to get his mom to let him fly to Atlanta with this mysterious producer to meet Usher, who Braun claimed was interested in the talented kid and wanted to help him cut a demo. Later, it came out that Usher almost lost the bidding war to Justin Timberlake, but Bieber chose to work with the R&B star and signed with him in 2008.

In 2009, he dropped the music video for his debut single "One Time," which shot to the top of Canadian music charts. The video went viral on YouTube, racking up over a million views in no time and earning Justin labels like "child prodigy" and "singing sensation."

The Creative Journey: Never Say Never

That same year, Bieber dropped his debut mini-album "My World." The tracklist featured seven catchy songs with simple titles like "Love Me," "First Dance," and "Favorite Girl." Within just one week, it sold 137,000 copies, quickly earning platinum status in the USA and Canada, and gold in Oceania. For Christmas, Bieber performed Stevie Wonder's "Someday At Christmas" at the White House for Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle.

Late in 2009, Justin Bieber broke his leg during a concert. Despite the intense pain, he finished the song, said goodbye to fans, and headed backstage where a medic treated his leg. Bieber quipped that the injury was part of the show. The audience had no idea about his injury or the incredible effort he put into finishing the show.

In 2010, the young artist released his first full-length album, "My World 2.0," which continued the sound of his debut record. It featured ten new catchy tracks, including Justin's first platinum hit "Baby," fan favorites like "U Smile" and "Never Let You Go," plus collaborations with Jessica Jarrell and Sean Kingston.

In 2010, he won American Music Awards for "Artist of the Year" and took home Grammys for "Best Pop Vocal Album" and "Best New Artist." That October, Bieber dropped "My World Acoustic," featuring stripped-down acoustic versions of his hits.

In 2011, Justin released the documentary "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never," which chronicled his rise to superstardom. By then, music industry heavyweights had recognized Bieber's talent. Taylor Swift even invited him to join her UK tour. That summer, Forbes named Justin Bieber one of the highest-paid celebrities under 30, and by fall, he'd hit another major milestone – his video became the first in YouTube history to reach over 2 billion views.

On November 1, 2011, Justin Bieber released his Christmas album "Under the Mistletoe." The album featured 11 covers of classic holiday songs, recorded with help from Mariah Carey, Walter Afanasieff, Busta Rhymes, Haven Gillespie, and other top American artists.

Just six months later, Justin Bieber thrilled fans with his third studio album, "Believe." That fall, he launched a massive world tour with new material, even making stops in Russia.

In October 2013, Justin Bieber announced his decision to institute a "Music Monday" tradition and release a new song each week for the next 10 weeks. These 10 "Monday" compositions were compiled into the album "Journal," and also featured in the soundtrack of the film "Justin Bieber: Believe," which was conceived as a sequel to "Never Say Never."

In 2015, Bieber teamed up with Skrillex, Diplo, Big Sean, and Travis Scott to record his fourth solo album "Purpose," featuring the hit single "What Do You Mean?" The album's success earned Justin another milestone – three of his songs simultaneously cracked the top five on the UK Singles Chart. Only John Lennon had achieved this feat following his tragic death in December 1980.

In 2015, he made a cameo appearance in "Zoolander" alongside Ben Stiller, then appeared as himself in the 2016 comedy "Killing Hasselhoff," which bombed at the box office.

In February 2016, Justin Bieber released a new single, "Company", which was to be included in his fifth studio album.

After a lengthy hiatus, his next studio album dropped in 2020. Fans agreed the wait was worth it: "Changes" packed 16 new tracks, featuring collaborations with Post Malone, Kehlani, and Travis Scott. The record debuted in the first place on the Billboard 200.

Spring 2021 brought Bieber's sixth album "Justice," delivering another 16 fresh tracks to fans. This album managed to debut at the top of both the Billboard 200 and Billboard 100. Justin became the first male artist to achieve this feat.

Controversies

When Justin Bieber first burst onto the scene, he was the picture of innocence, charming fans at every performance. His boyish looks and sweet demeanor only added to his wholesome image. But as he grew up, Bieber's reputation took a dark turn, transforming him into a troublemaker in the eyes of his millions of young fans.

In early 2013, police accused Bieber of using drugs with his friends. A few months later, someone spotted a suspicious liquid in the singer's cup. It turned out to be cough syrup containing codeine.

In 2014, Bieber's neighbors called police, claiming the young star had egged their house. When police searched his home, they found cocaine, which Justin claimed belonged to his friend, rapper Lil Za. A week later, Bieber was arrested for drunk driving in Miami – witnesses saw him tearing through the city in a yellow Lamborghini, completely ignoring traffic laws. Police found marijuana and alcohol in his system, but he avoided serious consequences by posting $2,500 bail.

But Justin's troubles weren't just about drugs – he also showed shocking disrespect for cultural landmarks. During his Tokyo tour in April 2014, he snapped a selfie at the Yasukuni Shrine – a controversial Shinto sanctuary tied to Japanese militarism. The internet exploded with outrage, and critics slammed the pop star for his cultural ignorance.

Even worse, Bieber made a shocking blunder during his Amsterdam visit. At the Anne Frank Museum, he wrote in the guestbook: "I am deeply inspired by this place. I'm sure Anne was a great girl. I hope she would have been a fan of mine."

During a private €20,000 tour of the Sistine Chapel with his father, Justin pulled out a ball and started kicking it around the sacred halls. The Sun also published a video of 15-year-old Bieber telling a racist joke.

On July 30, 2014, Orlando Bloom threw a punch at Justin Bieber in an Ibiza nightclub. The fight started when Bieber bragged about hooking up with the actor's ex-wife, supermodel Miranda Kerr. "She was good," Justin reportedly said, prompting Orlando to swing at the pop star.

During a night out at a New York restaurant, Bieber sneaked into the kitchen and urinated in the janitor's bucket shouting "F*** Bill Clinton!", later casually dismissing the security guard watching the scene with: "It's an honor for your restaurant. Fear us, we are wild guys". This time, the pop star had to apologize. Clinton called Justin for a one-on-one talk, after which the young man tendered an official apology to the former US president on Twitter.

In June 2016, Justin Bieber made a scandalous statement: he told the press that he intended to leave the music business after the conclusion of his current world tour. However, he later added that he didn't plan to leave the music world forever, he just needed a long rest and some much-needed time with his family and loved ones.

On June 20, at a concert in his native Canada, the singer fell off the stage while pulling up his trousers. A fan caught the moment on video, which the singer later commented on: "I'm a cat. I have 9 lives. Lol".

The Private Life of Justin Bieber

In 2010, Justin Bieber started dating Selena Gomez, the American actress and singer, who was two years his senior. Like many celebrity couples, their relationship was on-and-off. Every breakup and makeup sent Beliebers - as Justin's female admirers call themselves - into a frenzy, with one girl named Ellie tragically ending her life, leaving behind a note on her Twitter account: "Forgive me, guys, I can't take it anymore, I'm tired of all this."

Things moved so fast between them that in 2011, Selena Gomez removed her "purity ring", which she'd worn since 2004, pledging to maintain her chastity until marriage. But in fall 2012, Bieber and Gomez parted ways. The official reason for their breakup was never revealed, but most people agreed their relationship couldn't handle the pressure of being in the spotlight, gossip, and rumors. It was also speculated that the young actress harbored jealousy towards top model Barbara Palvin, with whom Bieber had openly flirted at a Victoria's Secret show.

After his breakup with Selena, Justin wasn't rushing into anything serious, enjoying the perks of being a famous single guy: he dated Hailey Baldwin, Moldovan model Xenia Deli, and later, Kourtney Kardashian. In 2016, he seemed to be single - at least that's what fans thought. In May, the singer posted a photo on Instagram in which he was embracing an unknown girl, without any caption, giving his followers plenty to talk about. The media immediately labeled her as Justin Bieber's new girlfriend.

In August 2016, the singer initiated a relationship with Nicole Richie's 17-year-old sister, Sofia Richie.

But after six weeks together, the unpredictable singer decided to go back to being single. At the end of 2017, he returned to Selena. His ex had been diagnosed with lupus. During her treatment, Justin was there for her, and after everything they'd been through, the couple decided to give each other another chance. But it wasn't meant to be - soon after, the singer announced his marriage to his old friend, model, and designer Hailey Baldwin.

From 2018 to 2020, Justin struggled with depression and fought Lyme disease, which he contracted after a tick bite.

Justin Bieber Now

In summer 2022, Justin Bieber had to cancel his world tour after an illness paralyzed the right side of his face, leaving him unable to blink one eye or smile normally. The culprit was Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a form of shingles. But just a month later, he was back on stage.
