A trendsetter and instablogger whose every publication was at one time accompanied by a collapse in social network speed due to the number of likes from subscribers.

Childhood and Youth

Justin Bieber was born on March 1, 1994 in London, which is located in the province of Ontario, Canada. According to his zodiac sign, he is a Pisces. His parents Jeremy Jack Bieber and Patricia Patty Mallett did not register their marriage, but his father helped in raising the boy.

Blog and social networking site

The young musician’s career began with posting videos on the web. An important role in the creative biography of the singer was played by his mother. She uploaded the winning performance to YouTube for relatives and friends. All subsequent recordings of Justin she also broadcasted through the Internet.

Later in an interview, the guy said that the clips were accidentally viewed by Scooter Brown, who was once the producer of So So Def. The entrepreneur found the performer and persuaded his mother to travel to Atlanta to demo the recordings. A contract was soon signed between the RBMG production house and Justin Bieber.

The singer eagerly supports social media start-ups. Thus, as a famous artist, Justin invested in the development of Tinychat, the social service Stamped, and the music application Spotify. And in 2013, Bieber contributed $1.1 million to the new network for young people Shots of Me. Another investor in the project was Floyd Mayweather.

Music

After signing the contract, the single One Time was released, which immediately became one of the best in Canada.

The single Baby for the album My World 2.0 was soon released. The track immediately became a hit and entered the top five in the USA. The same success was enjoyed by Justin’s music video for this song.

At that time, the young artist faced a common problem of teenagers: his voice began to “break”. It became even dangerous, he could not take some high notes, so he urgently had to rearrange the entire vocal. Over time, the problem solved itself, and Bieber continued to make music, changing the tonality of the tracks.

Justin’s second studio album Under the Mistletoe saw the light in 2011. The songs for it were recorded together with the bands Boyz II Men, The Band Perry and Busta Rhymes. In the first 2 weeks 210 thousand copies of the compilation were sold.

The artist then announced on Instagram the release of a U2 song, which he recorded with David Guetta. The hit of the two titans of electronic pop music became a powerful dance single.

At the Coachella Festival, Justin met the young artist Billie Eilish, who, like him, achieved enormous popularity in a short time.
