Biography:

Born on March 1, 1994, Justin Bieber started
singing since he was 12 and finished the second
place when participating in a local singing
competition. "The other people in the competition
had been taking singing lessons and had vocal
coaches. I wasn't taking it too seriously at the time, I would just sing around the house," he recalled.
In an effort to share his victory to family and
friends who missed his performances at the
competition, he and his mother opened a
YouTube account and posted his video
performances on the file-sharing website. "I put my singing videos from the competition on
YouTube so that my friends and family could
watch them," he stated. "But it turned out that
other people liked them and they started
subscribing to them. That's how my manager
found me. He saw me on YouTube and contacted
my family and now I'm signed!"
His manager Scooter Braun flew Justin from his
hometown Ontario, Canada to Atlanta, Georgia for a meeting with Usher. "I sang for him and his people and he really wanted to sign me then and there but I still had a meeting with Justin Timberlake who also wanted to sign me. It ...

L.A. Reid backing him up and Scooter had a lot of really good connections in Atlanta," he traced back his memory.
In October of 2008, Justin was officially signed to Island Records and began working on his debut album " My World". Powerhouse producers like
Christopher "Tricky" Stewart and The-Dream lent their helping hands on the effort. He also got Usher as his collaborator on one of the songs.
"My World" was released across United States on
November 17. The album was preceded with four hit singles "One Time", "One Less Lonely Girl",
"Love Me" and "Favorite Girl", all of which cracked
Top 15 of Canadian Singles chart and reached Top 40 of Billboard Hot 100. This achievement made
him the only artist in Billboard history who has
four singles from a debut album charting in the
Top 40 of the Hot 100 before the album's release.
Justin toured with Taylor Swift as her supporting act on two of her U.K. stops for "Fearless" tour. He also embarked on five headlining concerts in
Canada. Moreover, he appeared in several hit U.S.
TV shows, naming some were "Good Morning
America", " The Ellen DeGeneres Show, ...
