Justin Drew Bieber was born on March 1, 1994, at St. Joseph's Hospital in London, Ontario, Canada, and spent his childhood in Stratford, Ontario. He is the son of Pattie Mallette and Jeremy Bieber, and his ancestry is a rich blend of French-Canadian, Irish, German, English, and Scottish roots. He has three younger half-siblings via his father.
As a young boy, Bieber demonstrated a remarkable aptitude for music, teaching himself to play a variety of instruments, including the guitar, drums, piano, and trumpet. His mother, Pattie, began posting videos of his performances on YouTube, which quickly garnered a significant following and caught the attention of talent agent Scooter Braun. Braun secured an impromptu audition with Usher, who was impressed and played a pivotal role in securing Bieber's record deal.
In 2009, his debut single, "One Time", became a global phenomenon, earning a Platinum certification in Canada and the United States. This was followed by the release of his debut EP album, "My World", which also achieved international success. Bieber made history by becoming the first artist to have seven songs from a debut record chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 2010, he released his first full-length studio album, "My World 2.0", which was accompanied by a successful concert film, "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never", in 2011. Two years later, he released his third studio album, "Believe", and in 2015, he released his fourth studio album, "Purpose".
Throughout his illustrious career, Bieber has received numerous accolades, including a Grammy Award and an American Music Award. He has been consistently ranked by Forbes magazine as one of the "Top Ten Most Powerful Celebrities in the World". With estimated record sales of 140 million, Bieber is one of the world's best-selling music artists.
