Justin Bieber was born in Ontario, Canada on March 1, 1994. As a child, Justin taught himself to play guitar, piano, drums and trumpet, as he always had a big love of music. When he was 12, he entered a competition at which he sang 'So Sick' by Ne-Yo and he was placed in second. Justin's mum decided to set up a YouTube account for him to upload videos of him singing covers of various songs. Overtime, his popularity on the site grew. He was discovered on YouTube by music producer, Scooter Braun, in 2007. He tracked Justin down as he was very interested in his talents. At this time Justin was only 13, but Scooter wanted to fly him to Atlanta, Georgia, to sing for him and Usher. After her sang for them ,he was signed to Scooter's company, RBMG, by both Scooter and Usher, Usher also arranged an audition for Justin with Antonio L.A Reid of Def Jam Recordings. Justin was also signed to Def Jam after his audition. Scooter Braun became Justin's manager.
Justin Bieber released his debut album, My World, in late 2009. This album contained chart toppers such as 'One Time', 'One Less Lonely Girl' and 'Favourite Girl'. This album went double platnium in Canada and the UK. At just seventeen, he is an extremely successful teenager. His second album, titled 'My World 2.0', was released in early 2010. The lead tracks from this album are 'Baby', 'Somebody to Love' and 'U Smile'. Justin has become extremely popular among teenage girls all over the world. Wherever he goes, millions of girls follow. There has been some safety issues around this though, Justin's public appearances have been cancelled numerous times due to crowd control problems regarding the safety of the crowds and Justin himself. He was due to do a public performance in Australia which had to be cancelled after several girl were injured in the crowd crush. This shows just how popular Justin has become over a short space of time.
He has been nominated for and won a huge number of awards during his short career. In 2010 alone he won Best Artist, five different times, his songs such as 'Baby' and 'One Time' have won awards such as Best Song, Best Music Video and Best Album of the Year. Despite being only seventeen, he has already had a world tour during which every concert has been sold out. He is an extremely successful teenager and will go on to be successful for many years.
For my next map point, I will go to Barbados where Rihanna is from as she is also signed to Def Jam Record company, this is why she is connected with Justin Bieber.
