He was 18 years old when he became the first in YouTube history, whose video clips have gained more than 2 billion views. He speaks fluent French. He solves the Rubik's cube in 2 minutes. His wax figure is in the famous Madame Tussauds in Amsterdam.
Childhood and the beginning of a creative biography
Justin Bieber was born on March 1, 1994 in the Canadian city of London. Justin grew up in a single parent family. His mother was 19 when she gave birth to Justin. Although she continued to maintain a relationship with her child's father, she had to work in multiple jobs at the same time to support herself and Justin. He tried to ensure that the son received everything that the child needs for a normal childhood. Justin, like most Canadian boys, played hockey. He also played football, chess and music.
Justin Bieber did not receive a classical music education. He taught himself how to play the piano, guitar, drums and trumpet. At the age of 12, Justin Bieber took second place in a local song contest, and his mother posted a video of his performance on Youtube. Justin recorded new songs, and my mother continued to upload them to Youtube.
A year after the first appearance of Justin Bieber's videos on the Internet, his mother was contacted by Scooter Brown, a recording studio partner of the famous R&B artist Usher. After lengthy negotiations, Justin's mother gave permission for her son to cooperate with the Raymond Braun Media Group, owned by Asher and Brown.
Rapid stellar career
The very first single, recorded by Justin Bieber on RBMG, took 12th place in the Canadian Hot 100 chart, 11th in the British charts and high places in the charts of a dozen other countries.
A little over a year later, Justin Bieber was invited to a Christmas party at the White House, where he sang the song Someday at Christmas for Barack and Michelle Obama.
The song Baby from Justin Bieber's first full-length album was released as a single and peaked at # 5 on the 2010 US Chart. As of October 2018, the video for this song has collected 2 billion views on Youtube. The same number of views for today was collected by the song What Do You Mean.
In 2011, Justin Bieber starred in the TV series C. S. I.: Crime Scene Investigation, in 2014 - in a cameo role in the comedy Bad Behavior. The main female role in this film was played by Selena Gomez, whom Justin Bieber had previously met for two years.
Justin Bieber has released 4 studio albums (the last one was released in 2015) and more than 30 singles during his meek, still career. The total number of copies sold exceeded 100 million, which allowed him to become one of the most successful musicians in the world. Justin has six Grammy nominations. One of these nominations - in 2016 - ended in victory. He also received many other prestigious awards in different countries. Forbes magazine in 2011 put his name on the second line in the list of the most paid representatives of show business under the age of 30. Three years later, Justin Bieber took first place on this list.
Community Behavior and Public Opinion
Justin Bieber's behavior in society has repeatedly caused criticism and brought him to the police station. Most often it was dangerous driving. Once his plane was detained at the airport on suspicion of carrying drugs on the liner. The suspicion was subsequently not confirmed. In the summer of 2018, Justin Bieber was charged with assaulting a Cleveland resident. The case has not yet been closed, but Bieber's lawyers presented a video, from which it follows that Justin did not attack, but defended himself.
Justin remains a Canadian citizen. In the United States, he has a residence permit. In 2014, after police arrested Justin for drunk driving, a petition appeared on the White House's official website to revoke Justin Bieber's residence permit. The required number of signatures for the petition was not collected, and it seems that the initiators of the petition did not pursue such a goal. Everything turned into an exchange of jokes between the singer's Canadian and American fans.
The attitude of society towards Justin Bieber cannot be called unequivocally warm, despite the general recognition of his talent and success. He is accused of misbehavior and "star fever". The press is happy to reprint reports about his next meetings with the police, adding details that do not always have anything in common with reality. Perhaps the reasons for this are banal envy and the desire to make money on the name of the star.
Personal life and relationships
Justin Bieber is known for his fishing hobby and Onesie pajamas. They say that he is claustrophobic and cannot stand being in tight spaces. Justin likes to show off tattoos on his body, he often takes pictures with a naked torso and uploads these photos on his instagram. Once, he put up his hair, cut off during a haircut, for sale at an auction. The lot was sold for 40 thousand dollars. Perhaps someone is now wearing this lock of hair in a medallion on their chest.
For several years, Justin Bieber was in a relationship with American star Selena Gomez. Their relationship began when Justin was 16 and Selena was 18. Fans of both closely followed their romance and many were very upset when Justin and Selena officially announced that they had become only friends. In subsequent years, rumor attributed to Justin romances with one or another girl. They even talked about his relationship with Kourtney Kardashian, who is 15 years older than Bieber. Neither Justin himself nor his alleged girlfriends commented on these rumors in any way. One of the girls with whom Justin was credited with is Hailey Baldwin, the daughter of a film actor and a fashion model. She met with Justin in 2015-2016, then Bieber admitted this connection in an interview, noting that they had already broken up with Haley. In the summer of 2018, unexpectedly for everyone, Justin and Haley announced their engagement. The wedding was planned for the fall, but was later postponed to 2019.
Perhaps this will be the case, and next year the name of Justin Bieber will cease to cause a rise in temperature among millions of his fans - young girls from all over the world who dream of a real modern prince. However, he will still remain one of the most talented performers of our time, only a little more mature.
