Justin Bieber Biography

Justin Bieber, real name Justin Drew Bieber, is a Canadian musician and teen idol who was born on March 1, 1994 in London, Ontario. Beginning in 2009, his youthful good looks and catchy pop tunes generated a worldwide frenzy.

In Stratford, Ontario, Canada, where he was raised by a single mother, Bieber honed his musical skills on the drums, piano, guitar, and trumpet.

He competed in a local singing competition in 2007, finished in second place, and his mother uploaded a video of his performance to YouTube for friends and relatives who couldn’t make it.

Later, she posted more homemade videos to YouTube, where Bieber sung well-known rhythm and blues (R&B) songs and occasionally played acoustic guitar.

These videos quickly drew attention from those who weren’t originally supposed to watch them. A music promoter and talent agent named Scott (“Scooter”) Braun was among many who watched Justin Bieber’s videos and encouraged the 13-year-old singer to record demos at a studio in Atlanta.
