Justin Bieber is a Canadian singer and songwriter.

Born in 1994 in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, to

a single mother, Bieber took second place in a local talent competition at a young age. After his
mother posted YouTube clips of her boy performing, Bieber went from an unknown, untrained
singer to a budding superstar with a big-time record deal with Usher within two years. Bieber
went on to become the first solo artist to have four singles enter the Top 40 before the release of
a debut album. His 2009 album My World has gone platinum in several countries. He later
experienced significant media exposure from offensive activity. Nonetheless, the singer made his
comeback in 2015 with his first No. 1 song, "What Do You Mean?" His 2017 collaboration with
Luis Fonsi, “Despacito,” broke the alltime record for most consecutive weeks at the number one
spot on the Top 100.
