Justin Bieber is one of the biggest pop stars in history. He has sold millions of albums worldwide and is famous for his romantic relationships with celebrities like Selena Gomez and Hailey Baldwin. He’s also been involved in some controversies and skirmishes with the law. Bieber’s 2015 album, Purpose, found a wider audience beyond his youthful fan base and all three of its singles reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. He has continued to collaborate with other musicians and appeared in the popular song 10,000 Hours with country duo Dan + Shay, which won a 2020 Grammy Award for best country duo or group performance.
He was born and raised in the small town of Stratford, Ontario, Canada, and grew up playing the drums, guitar, piano, and trumpet. As a pre-teen, he took part in a local talent competition and placed second, which helped him discover his love of music. He began uploading homemade videos to YouTube, where his covers of popular rhythm-and-blues songs attracted the attention of talent manager Scooter Braun, who signed him to a recording contract.
His early successes brought media attention and a crush of adoring fans, which can be difficult for a young man to handle. He tries to cope with this by taking time off from performing, and by spending time with his family. He has also used his fame to highlight social injustices, visiting hospitals and earthquake-torn Haiti and post-Katrina New Orleans. He is a Christian and has spoken about his faith in public appearances.
In the early stages of his career, he struggled with depression and an eating disorder. He has since become an advocate for anti-bullying campaigns, and has been active in philanthropic work, including supporting children’s hospitals and visiting wounded soldiers.
He has a reputation for being charming on stage and off. His good looks and charm have made him a huge hit with women. His romantic relationships have been the source of many headlines, including allegations that he sexually assaulted a minor.
After his first marriage ended in 2016, he dated several other celebrities before finding true love with model Hailey Baldwin. They married in a small ceremony in 2018 and celebrated with a large wedding reception the following year.
The simple yet stunning visuals of this video show Bieber exploring the hilly landscape of Iceland by himself. This gives a sense of the tranquility that he seeks in his private life away from screaming fans and paparazzi. It’s also an opportunity for him to showcase his dancing skills, as he takes on various dance crews, including the Poreotics and Beat Freaks, who have competed on seasons of America’s Best Dance Crew. The result is a fun, high-energy video that broke a record for the most views in a 24-hour period. This was a major hit for Bieber, and he followed it up with more high-profile music videos.
