Justin Drew Bieber, born on March 1, 1994, is a Canadian singer known for his genre-blending sound and global impact on modern pop music. He was discovered in 2008 by American record executive Scooter Braun and signed to RBMG Records, rising to fame with his debut EP, My World (2009), which established him as a teen idol.
His hit single “Baby” became one of the best-selling singles of all time in the United States. In 2011, his second studio album, Under the Mistletoe, made history as the first Christmas album by a male artist to debut at number one in the U.S.
With his third studio album, Believe (2012), Bieber explored dance-pop and became the first artist in history to have five U.S. number-one albums by the age of 18. However, from 2013 to 2014, he faced multiple controversies and legal issues that significantly affected his public image.
Bieber made a comeback in 2015, venturing into EDM with Jack Ü on the Grammy-winning hit “Where Are Ü Now.” The song’s success paved the way for his fourth studio album, Purpose, which delivered three U.S. number-one hits: “Love Yourself,” “Sorry,” and “What Do You Mean?”
He also became the first artist to occupy the entire top three spots on the UK Singles Chart. Between 2016 and 2017, he broadened his reach through major collaborations like “I’m the One” and the remix of “Despacito.” Both songs topped the Billboard Hot 100 in back-to-back weeks, a historic achievement.
“Despacito” was later hailed by Billboard as the greatest Latin song of all time, earning Bieber his first Latin Grammy Award. In 2019, he collaborated with Dan + Shay on the country hit “10,000 Hours,” which won the Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
