Justin Bieber was born in 1994 in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. His mother, Pattie Mallette, worked at several jobs to support the family and to send him to music lessons. When he was 12 years old, he took part in a local singing competition and won second place. After the event, his mother posted clips of him on YouTube for their friends and family to see. This is when Scooter Braun, a talent manager, spotted him.
Bieber signed with Braun in 2008 at age 13. The next year he released his first album, My World 2.0, which was an enormous hit. In 2010, he became the youngest male artist to have seven songs from his debut album chart in the Billboard 200. He also became the youngest solo male artist to have two singles top the Billboard Hot 100.
He has won a total of two Grammy Awards and has been nominated a total of 22 times. He won the award for Best Dance/Electronica Album in 2016 for his album Purpose and won the award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals in 2021 for his song Ghost in cooperation with producers Jon Bellion and Monsters & Strangerz.
Throughout his career, Bieber has made many bad decisions that have tarnished his once squeaky clean image. In 2013, he was recorded urinating in a janitor’s bucket and making a threatening gesture with a photo of President Bill Clinton, which caused him to face more backlash from the public. In 2014, he was accused of attacking his neighbor and spitting on a school bus full of children, and in 2016, he faced backlash for writing that Holocaust victim Anne Frank “would have been a Belieber.”
Although he has made many bad decisions over the course of his life, Bieber is still trying to be the good person he knows he is. He has started a charity foundation called the JustBieber Foundation to help young people. In addition, he has spoken out against bullying and was a mentor for the film Mean Girls 2. He has also donated to various charities, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Children’s Miracle Network and the Lupus Foundation of America.
While Bieber does not have any siblings, he is very close with his mother, who still lives in Stratford, Ontario. He has a very healthy relationship with his grandmother and his aunts. He has a lot of friends in the entertainment industry, including fellow artists such as Lil Wayne and Drake, and is often seen spending time with them. He is a very popular social media star and has over 150 million followers on Instagram alone. He is a very active Twitter user, as well, and regularly tweets about his personal life and upcoming projects. He has been known to surprise his fans with gifts and appearances.
