How it all Started for Justin Bieber

By Mike Telon


Justin Drew Bieber is a pop star, singer and musician whose dramatically sudden popularity has rocketed him into international stardom. He was born in 1994 on March 1st and at the time of this writing is only sixteen years old. A mere two years ago he was an unknown living a normal teenage boy's life at home with his single mother Pattie Mallette in Stratford Ontario Canada. He and his mother lived in low-income project housing but they both harbored big dreams for his future.

When Justin Bieber's mother first became aware of his musical abilities she hoped he would become a Christian rock star. He had taught himself how to play guitar and keyboard and soon was playing for small change on the streets of his small Canadian hometown. In his first summer of performing he earned three thousand dollars in tips. He used this new-found source of income to take his mom with him for a visit to Disneyland. It was a nice sum of money for a poor fourteen year old kid but it was nothing compared to the fame and fortune which would soon be literally knocking on his door.

His mother Pattie had taken some videos of him performing at amateur contests and like any proud mom might do, posted them to YouTube for her friends and family to view. While these started to gain some views from outside of their circle of acquaintances they were literally stumbled on by a man who would change Justin Bieber's life forever.

Bieber's arguably most popular album, "My World," marked his debut release in November of 2009, and was impressively enough, certified as platinum in the United States. Other music he has recently released are some of the greatest hits from his albums "My World," "My World 2.0," and the relatively new "My World Acoustic." The tracks on the most recent of these have met with favorable reactions. Although Bieber's work showcases little variation in his musical style, that very style has also cultivated a loyal fan base. The R&B and pop, featuring the young singer's relatively high-pitched, easy to listen to vocals, is without a doubt, quite catchy. Some of the songs featured in Justin Bieber's "My World" collection album include brand new acoustic renderings of Bieber favorites, such as "One Time," "That Should Be Me," "Down to Earth," "U Smile," "Baby," "Stuck in the Moment," "One Less Lonely Girl," and a live performance of "Favorite Girl." Additionally, Bieber released a brand new number entitled "Pray."

Since then Justin has done several concerts worldwide, appearing on international stages and climbed the popularity charts thanks to young girls from six to sixteen. It is hard to say which is the biggest draw to this young man - his looks or his music, or perhaps the magic is the combination of the two. He is definitely on the road to success and his Justin Bieber doll collection will be a winner with his fans as well.

What most people would never dream in their lifetime, Justin Bieber has achieved in a short span of 16 years. And doesn't look like he is slowing down either. Apart from lending his voice for the "We are the World" remake , he has hosted the Grammys, won at the AMA , performed for the president of USA, released his own movie, plenty of product launches like the Justin Bieber doll and of course, his music and concerts. So has he achieved everything? Not by a long shot. This is just the tip of the iceberg!
