story of Justin Bieber


Early life and Career beginnings

Bieber was 12 years old when he entered a local singing competition in Stratford, Ontario, placing in second.[3] He taught himself how to play the piano, drums, guitar, and trumpet.[19] In late 2007 Justin and his mother began posting videos on YouTube[20] so that his family and friends that could not attend his performances would be able to view them, posting his cover versions of songs by Usher Chris Brown, Stevie Wonder, Justin Timberlake, Ne-Yo and more[20].

Scooter Braun,[20] a former marketing executive of So So Def, discovered his videos, and flew Bieber to Atlanta, Georgia, where he met with R&B singer/songwriter Usher.[20] A week later Bieber had the opportunity to sing for Usher[21] who immediately became greatly interested, giving him an audition with Antonio L.A. Reid at Island Records who signed him to Island Records in October 2008.[20] Justin Timberlake was reportedly in the running to sign Bieber, but he eventually signed with Usher.[22] Bieber and his mother, Pattie Malette then moved to Atlanta, also the home of Usher and Braun, to base his career. Bieber also stated in an interview he still frequently stays at his Stratford home.[23]
2009-present: Debut album

Bieber's first album My World, was released on November 17, 2009. The album features guest vocals from Usher, who appears in the music video for the single "One Time". Bieber is on a promotion tour promoting his single and has made various appearances on several radio stations. The first single "One Time"[24] reached number 12 in Canadian Hot 100 during its first week in July 2009,[20] and number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. On September 26, 2009, "One Time" had gone Platinum in Canada.[25] Three consecutive singles, "One Less Lonely Girl", "Love Me", and "Favorite Girl" were released to iTunes exclusively, and therefore charted at within the Top 40 in the U.S. and within the top 15 in Canada. "One Less Lonely Girl" was later released to mainstream radio also.

Bieber performed in a several live shows such as mtvU's VMA 09 Tour, European program The Dome, YTV's The Next Star and The Today Show.[19][26], The Wendy Williams Show, Lopez Tonight, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, It's On with Alexa Chung, Good Morning America, Chelsea Lately, and BET's 106 and Park with Rihanna. Bieber also guest starred in an episode of True Jackson, VP later this year.[27] In October 2009, Bieber was voted as the #5 "Best Good Example of 2009" by AOL's JSYK.[28]

While promoting the album, Bieber was scheduled to appear at Long Island's Roosevelt Field Mall, but the performance had to be canceled.[29]. Over 3,000 screaming fans showed up for the appearance. The event got out of control and over 35 units from the Nassau County and Garden City police departments had to be called in. According to TMZ, a fan screamed that Bieber was in an Abercrombie Kids store, and that is when the mayhem already taking place got further out of hand.[30] Police feared that the crowd which was cramming the mall's upstairs corridor would force a metal-and-glass railing to snap sending hundreds of girls tumbling to the lower level.[29] Several fans received minor injuries The police told Bieber he could not come in because of the current situation and fire hazard. In an interview with WBLI 106.1, Bieber stated, "It was so crazy that I couldn't get to even come in the building," the singer said. "They [the authorities] basically threatened to put me in cuffs and send me away to jail."[29] The police arrested an Island Records senior vice-president, James A. Roppo, reportedly for hindering the police's crowd control efforts.[29] Bieber took to Twitter, apologizing to fans, and promising to make up for the cancellation. James Roppo pleaded not guilty to all charges.[31][32]

Bieber performed for U.S. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama at the White House for the Christmas in Washington, a televised musical special that benefits the National Children’s Medical Center, which aired on December 20 on TNT[33] Bieber performed Stevie Wonder's "Someday at Christmas" for the program. He was also one of the performers at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest on December 31.[34] To support his debut effort, Bieber toured with Taylor Swift on her two-stop return to the United Kingdom on her Fearless Tour[35] and went on a five-date tour himself in Canada, sponsored by Urban Behavior.[36] Bieber confirmed that he will be traveling on his headlining debut tour sometime in 2010[37] He will also open again for Swift when she performs at Gillette Stadium at the annual concert for the winner of the CMA Entertainer of the Year award.[38]
