Justin Bieber, a small town boy from Canada who started his career at the age of 13 by posting YouTube videos of himself singing, has become one of the biggest stars in pop music. He has sold millions of records, been the star of a few documentary-style movies about his life, and even has a clothing line called Drew House. He is also a well-known philanthropist and environmental activist, and has worked with brands like Schmidt’s Naturals, Crocs, and Tim Hortons to promote their products. He has starred in numerous television shows and even appeared in the film New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.
Bieber’s career took off after his mother posted some of his YouTube videos online, which reached the attention of up-and-coming talent manager Scooter Braun. He flew him to Atlanta, Georgia, to meet with Usher and signed him to his RBMG record label.
In his first two albums, which he released in 2012 and 2013, Bieber achieved a string of hits that made him a global success. These hits included Boyfriend, All Around the World, Beauty and Beat, and As Long as You Love Me. However, his squeaky clean image began to tarnish after he was photographed urinating in a janitor’s bucket and yelling “F– Bill Clinton” while holding a picture of the former president.
After a period of inactivity, Bieber returned to the music scene with his fourth album, Purpose, in 2015. The album was an immediate hit worldwide and included the chart-topping singles Believe and Lost in Your Light. This success led to a series of high-profile concerts, and he was also involved in charitable efforts, including the promotion of clean water technology.
In 2021, Bieber released his sixth album, Justice, with the single Peaches, which became a major hit in both Canada and the United States. This success paved the way for his next album, Changes, which featured collaborations with the Kid LAROI. It also broke Elvis Presley’s record as the youngest artist to have eight number-one albums in the United States.
In addition to his music, Bieber is involved with the charity Pencils of Promise,[439] which builds schools in developing countries. He serves as the celebrity spokesman for the organization and donates parts of his earnings from his concerts, his Someday line of fragrances,[445] and various merchandising to it. He is also an advocate for PETA and has spoken out against puppy mills. He has even promoted the adoption of animals over buying them from breeders. Justin and his wife Hailey Baldwin live in Los Angeles with their son, Jack. He has also been an avid snowboarder for several years. He has competed in several events and even won a gold medal at the 2013 World Championships. He is also an accomplished dancer, having competed on seasons of America’s Best Dance Crew. He also has his own dance crew called the Beat Freaks. He has been known to dress up in full character for some of his performances, which is often a mashup of hip hop and traditional dance.
