Justin Drew Bieber, born March 1, 1994, in Ontario, Canada, has become one of the most recognized figures in modern pop culture. Known for blending genres and pushing musical boundaries, Bieber has grown from a YouTube discovery into an international superstar with a career that has reshaped the music industry. His journey has been marked by extraordinary successes, public controversies, and remarkable reinventions, making him one of the most influential artists of his generation.

Bieber’s story began in 2008 when American talent manager Scooter Braun stumbled upon one of his YouTube videos. Impressed by the young singer’s voice and charisma, Braun signed him to RBMG Records, a joint venture with Usher. In 2009, Bieber released his first project, the seven-track EP My World. Songs like “One Time” and “One Less Lonely Girl” immediately captured the attention of teenagers around the globe. With his swooping hair, boy-next-door charm, and heartfelt lyrics, Bieber quickly earned the label of teen idol.

Many wondered whether he would follow the same destructive path as other child stars. READ MORE BELOW
