A Boy's Bio - Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber is the 16 year old sensation who is originally from Stratford, Ontario Canada. At the age of 12, he entered a vocal competition and won 2nd place against older, trained singers.


Also a musician, Justin taught himself to play the guitar, drums, piano and trumpet. He began making public appearances, performing songs by Usher, Stevie Wonder and Ne-Yo. Then, his mother videotaped the concerts and submitted them to YouTube to be viewed by friends and family.

The videos caught the attention of millions of young teen girls who began circulating them to each other. The videos also caught the attention of Usher and partner Scooter Braun, who invited the young man to Georgia. A week later Justin sang for Usher, auditioned for Island Records, and was officially signed to the record label in October of 2008.

Bieber began working with producers Terius "The-Dream" Nash and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart who developed the hits "Umbrella" for Rhianna and "Single Ladies" for Beyonce.

Justin made guest appearances on numerous TV shows including Good Morning America, the Today Show, The View, The Ellen DeGeneres Show and recently appeared on Saturday Night Live. He was also the opening act for Taylor Swift's Fearless Tour in 2009. Bieber's songs immediately topped the charts making him the youngest solo performer to do so since Stevie Wonder.

Justin's premiere album "My World" was released in November of 2009 and has achieved platinum status in the US and Canada. On the album, Usher accompanies Justin during the song "First Dance."
Bieber's newest album "My World 2.0" was recently released and includes the hit single "Baby", which was recorded with Ludacris.

Justin's songs relay messages of puppy love, growing up and striving to achieve goals in a combination of R&B, pop and hip-hop styles. His new CD's include contest tickets in which one lucky young lady will win a private concert.

"Bieber Fever" is sweeping through tween girls all over the planet. Girls become hyperemotional, hysterical and overly enthusiastic at the mere prospect of viewing the young icon. A recent appearance in Sydney was cancelled by police due to crowd endangerment. The police cited that unsupervised girls as young as 12 began to appear as early as 3:00 AM, the morning prior to the scheduled performance.

The crowd quickly amassed beyond 3000 and the girls, ignoring direction by police officers, broke through the barricades attempting to get closer to the stage where Bieber was to perform. Many girls were taken to hospital for treatment of injuries. One mother, who was in attendance, stated her daughter suffered a fractured cheek.

Fans suspected Justin would show up at Channel 7 studios and were not disappointed when he made an appearance on the Sunrise show.

A concert at a mall in Long Island New York was also cancelled by law enforcement following crowd control and safety issues similar to what was seen in Australia.

His incredible career continues and he will definitely be one to watch as his life story unfolds.
