However, being world famous at age 16 does not come without controversy. Bieber has also been involved in several high profile altercations with fans and photographers and has been cited for reckless driving.

Justin Bieber was born in Ontario, Canada on March 1, 1994. He was raised by his mother, Pattie, who was only 17 when he was born. As a young boy, Justin enjoyed playing hockey, soccer, and music and taught himself to play guitar, piano and drums. When Pattie realized that Justin had musical talent, she began to upload videos of him singing on YouTube. Justin’s videos caught the attention of pop star Usher, who was impressed with the young singer and signed him to his record company.

In 2010, Bieber went on his first official tour to promote his albums My World and My World 2.0. By this time, Bieber was well known as a teenage “heart-throb” with his streetwise style including backwards hat, hoodies, dog chains, and colorful sneakers.

As of 2013, Bieber had over 45 million Twitter followers, more than any other person, and had penned over 23,000 tweets. Bieber’s video “Baby” has been viewed over 900 million times on YouTube. Fans of Justin Bieber are referred to as “Beliebers.”
