The singer Justin Bieber is one of the best-selling artists in music history. He started out as a teen heartthrob and has expanded his musical horizons by dabbling in R&B, dance, and even Christmas albums. Bieber’s fame is largely due to social media, which has allowed him to connect directly with fans worldwide. In addition to his music, he has used his celebrity status to promote charitable causes and speak out against bullying.
Bieber was born in 1994 in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. His single mother raised him and taught him to play various instruments, including the drums, piano, and guitar. In 2007 he entered a local talent competition and came in second place. His mother uploaded the video of his performance to YouTube, where it was discovered by music promoter Scott (“Scooter”) Braun.
Braun saw the videos and invited Bieber to record demos at a studio in Atlanta, Georgia. After signing a recording contract with RBMG Records, Bieber began touring and gaining more attention. He became a household name after his debut album, My World, was released in 2009.
Since then, Bieber has had multiple hit songs and has sold millions of albums. His latest album, Purpose, was released in late 2015 and was the highest-grossing world tour ever for a male solo artist. In recent years, he has focused more on philanthropy and his personal life, with an appearance on The Tonight Show in 2014 and marriage to model Hailey Baldwin in 2022.
In the years following his breakthrough success, Bieber has made headlines for erratic behavior and drug use. Despite this, he has continued to tour and record music, reaching more than 89 million monthly Spotify listeners. His music is a mix of pop, R&B, and dance. He has 23 GRAMMY nominations and two wins, eight No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hits, and a billion-streamed single.
This video is a tribute to fans and showcases Bieber’s new, more mature style. It features America’s Best Dance Crew season-five winners Poreotics and season-three runner-up Beat Freaks dancing along with Bieber in front of a white backdrop. Other scenes feature Bieber kissing a dark-haired girl and jumping into her car as well as playing a game of back-alley water fight with a group of fans.
This Christmas-themed video focuses on a young couple in a small town, who fall in love and end up having a sexy duet. Filmed in Franklin, Tennessee, the video includes scenes of Bieber courting his love interest in a small town adorned with lights and snow. Bieber also appears with Rascal Flatts for a duet on the song and performs an acoustic version of the single. The video was a huge hit and spawned several remixes on YouTube. It won numerous awards and nominations, including the MTV Movie Award for Best Special Effects. The song was also featured in the animated holiday movie Ice Age: Collision Course.
