Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber was born on March 1, 1994, in Ontario, Canada. He grew up with his mother, Pattie, who was just 17 when he was born. As a young boy, Justin was into hockey, football, and music. He taught himself to play the guitar, piano, and drums. When his mother noticed Justin's musical talent, she started uploading videos of him singing on YouTube. These videos caught the attention of the famous singer Usher, who was impressed and signed Justin to his record label.

           In 2009, Justin released his first album, "My World," and his song "One Time" started playing on radios worldwide. He performed on TV shows like Good Morning America and Today. He even sang at the White House for President Obama's Christmas event. In 2010, Justin went on his first official tour to promote his albums "My World" and "My World 2.0." He became known as a teenage heartthrob with his cool style, including backward hats, hoodies, and colorful sneakers. He gained millions of followers on social media, especially Twitter (now known as ‘X’), where he had over 45 million followers by 2013.

           Besides music, Justin invests in technology companies and donates to charities that build schools in developing countries. He's also been a spokesperson for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). However, fame at a young age also brought trouble. Justin has had disagreements with fans and photographers and has received several citations for reckless driving.
