Justin Bieber is the only child of Jeremy Jack Bieber and Pattie Maillette who never married. Pattie raised her son with the help of her mother, Diane, and stepfather, Bruce; however, Bieber has maintained contact with his father. Justin attended school in Stratford, Ontario to where his family had moved, and growing up he learned to play the piano, drums, guitar, and trumpet. In early 2007, aged 12, Bieber sang in a local competition, placing second, and Mallette a video of the performance posted on You Tube was noticed by Scooter Braun. Shortly afterwards, Justin signed a record deal with the “Raymond Braun Media Group” label, under which he released his first extended play work.
Justin Bieber’s big breakthrough came in 2009, when he released his first extended play album entitled “My World”. A critical and commercial success, “My World” topped the music charts with more than one million copies sold, and spawned two singles, namely “One Time” and “One Less Lonely Girl”, both of which did exceptionally well on the market.
Following the success of “My World”, a year later Justin Bieber came out with his debut studio album called “My World 2.0”, which once again was largely praised by the critics and audiences, and Justin became the youngest male artist to top the Billboard 200 chart since Stevie Wonder. Nominated for a Grammy Award, Bieber’s debut album sold more than 283 000 copies during its first week and produced such popular singles as “Somebody to Love”, “Never Let You Go” and “Baby”, the latter becoming Justin’s signature single, which was largely praised by critics for its written style, while the music video for the song became the second most watched video on YouTube after Psy’s “Gangnam Style”. Unsurprisingly, Justin Bieber has become a teen idol, and has quickly built his net worth. Winning Artist of the Year Awards at the 2010 and 2012 American Music Awards, and being nominated for Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album at the 53rd Grammy Awards have also certainly helped his career.
Speaking about his personal life, Justin Bieber has been dating teenage pop star Selena Gomez for a few years now. Their relationship is on-again-off-again as they have broken up a few times, but then reconcile, and have been spotted recently dancing intimately at a dance rehearsal.
Even though Justin Bieber’s fame has grown over the years, he has not managed to avoid controversy and criticism for his blunt behavior. Among the many charges, in 2014 Justin Bieber was arrested for reckless driving, vandalism, driving under the influence and misdemeanor. However, despite all these charges, Justin Bieber remains among the most popular young artists in the music industry.
