Justin Bieber bio:

A vintage soul is the last thing you should expect you’ll find inside Justin Bieber. But it merely requires one listen to the 16 year-old soul-singing phenomenon to appreciate that he’s many years in front of his manufactured pop peers.

After posting dozens of home made videos upon YouTube in 2007, in which the multi-talented Bieber put his impeccable spin on songs from artists like Usher, Ne-Yo and Stevie Wonder, Justin compiled over 10,000,000 views purely from word of mouth.

“I started singing about three years ago,” says the Canadian native who spent my youth an only child in Stratford, Ontario. “I entered a nearby singing competition called Stratford Idol. The other people in the competition have been taking singing lessons and had vocal coaches. I wasn’t taking it too seriously at that time, I would just sing throughout the house. I had been only 12 and I got second place.”

So that you can share his victory with his loved ones, Justin started out posting his performance footage online. “I put my singing videos from the competition on YouTube so that my relatives and buddies could watch them,” he says. “But it turned out that others liked them and they started subscribing to them. That’s how my manager found me. He saw me on YouTube and contacted my family and now I’m signed!”

Seven months after Justin started posting his videos online, former So So Def marketing executive Scooter Braun flew the then 13-year old singer to Atlanta, GA to meet with his elite colleagues. As if Justin’s natural singing talent wasn’t enough to impress Scooter’s inner circle, Braun knew Bieber seemed to be a self-taught musician who plays the drums, guitar, piano and trumpet.

“Right when we flew into Atlanta, Scooter drove us towards the studio and Usher was there in the parking area,” remembers Bieber. “That was my very first time that ever being from Canada therefore i went up to him and was like, ‘Hey Usher, I love your songs, do you need me to sing you one?’ He was like, ‘No little buddy, just come inside, it’s cold out.’”

All it took was a few days online for Usher to realize he was together with a future superstar. “A week later Usher flew me back to Atlanta,” says Bieber. “I sang for him and his people and he really wanted to sign me then and there but I still had a meeting with Justin Timberlake who also wanted to sign me. It turned out Usher’s deal was way better. He had L.A. Reid backing him up and Scooter had plenty of great connections in Atlanta. I usually tease Usher now and help remind him he just how he blew me off the first time we met.”

In October of 2008, Justin Bieber officially signed to Island Records. His debut album, My World is an intimate investigate the mind of a budding young renaissance man. With creation from star hit men like The Dream and Tricky Stewart who produced “Umbrella” for Rihanna and Beyonce’s latest hit, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It),” Justin has everything he has to achieve pop supremacy.

His first single, “One Time” produced by Tricky, is about one of Justin’s favorite topics, puppy love. Usher joins Justin on “First Dance” the location where the a couple of share verses on a song that Bieber describes as, “A slow groovy song that people can dance to.” On the Midi-Mafia produced “Down to Earth” Justin digs deep to talk about maturing. “Bigger” finds the teenaged singer maturing at a steady rate, while motivating his listeners to strive for their goals.

“I’m awaiting influencing others in a positive way,” says Justin. “My message is that you can do anything if you just put proper effort into it. I grew up below the poverty line; I didn’t have just as much as other people did. It made me stronger as a person it built my character. Now I’ve got a 4. gpa and I would like to go to college and just become a better person.”

A virtually untapped well of natural talent with art, Justin Bieber is primed to become solid force in music for quite some time to come. “I believe seniors can appreciate my music because I must say i show my heart when i sing, and it is not corny,” he says. “I do believe I can grow as an artist and my fans will grow with me.” And imagine, he’s just getting involved.
