Justin Bieber, who is known for his genre-melding musicianship, has a worldwide following. His albums and singles have topped several music charts, and he has won multiple awards.
The singer is a global cultural icon, and his fans are called “beliebers.” In February 2019, it was reported that Bieber suffered from depression. The news shocked many people, and it led to calls for him to step away from the spotlight.
In the past, he has tried to do just that. But the pressure to perform has been relentless. It has been difficult for him to keep up with the demand for his live shows, and he’s been forced to cancel a number of appearances. He has also struggled to find new inspiration for his music.
He has a small circle of trusted people who work with him closely. These include his wife, Hailey Baldwin Bieber, his longtime collaborator, Poo Bear; his producer, Josh Gudwin; and his manager, Scooter Braun. Bieber also has a few others who help him with choreography and other tasks.
In addition to performing and recording, Bieber has a prolific presence on social media. He has over 127 million followers on Instagram alone, and his posts are read by millions of people every day. He has used this platform to promote his concerts, and he regularly uses it to share personal photos with his followers.
At the time of his arrest, he was driving while under the influence and he had been smoking marijuana. His alleged actions were dangerous, and he was charged with resisting arrest.
After being released on bail, he began to clean up his act and avoid embarrassing incidents. But he was still prone to making headlines for the wrong reasons.
In the summer of 2011, he appeared in a concert film, which became a big hit at the box office. The movie, titled Never Say Never, featured a series of intimate performances and behind-the-scenes footage. The movie also included guest appearances by Kanye West, Miley Cyrus and Bieber’s musical mentor Usher.
He is the youngest artist to have seven songs reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100, with the first being “One Time” in 2009. His album My World 2.0 peaked at number one in the U.S. and Canada in 2015. It included the singles, “What Do You Mean?” and “Somebody to Love.”
In 2021, he released the album Ghost. It included the singles, “Ghost,” “No Brainer” and “Love Yourself.” The album reached number one on the Billboard 200. It also spawned the remix of Luis Fonsi’s song, “Despacito,” which has become the most-watched video on YouTube with over 4.7 billion views. The song “Despacito” also reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was well received by critics, who praised the singer’s vocals and production. The album earned two Grammy nominations. The songs, “Where Are U Now” and “10,000 Hours” earned Grammy Award nominations. He has also been nominated for an American Music Award and a Brit Award.
