He came from very humble beginnings.
Born on March 1, 1994, in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, to a single mother, Bieber was completely unknown on the music scene until he started uploading singing covers to his YouTube channel.
His videos gained the attention of talent manager, Scooter Braun.
Clearly impressed by the teen’s vocal potential, Braun got him signed to RBMG Records in 2008.
Within 2 years, Bieber went from an unknown, ordinary teen, to a global superstar.
His big-time record deal with Usher meant that he was skyrocketed to stardom at record speed — releasing his debut album, My World, in 2009.
And, of course, we all know this song…
Bieber broke into the Billboard Top 10 in early 2010 with his hit single ‘Baby’, which also featured rapper, Ludacris. Not only did the single earn him huge recognition musically, but it also cemented him as a teen heartthrob for his young, female fan base.
