Justin Bieber is a pop/R&B singer from Stratford, Ontario who made it big in less than two years. At 12 years old and just wanting to have some fun, Justin entered a local singing competition called Stratford Idol and ultimately placed second. Justin posted his performance footage from the competition on YouTube with intentions of sharing his victory with just friends and family. It wasn’t just friends and family watching the homemade videos though, Justin accumulated over 10,000,000 views just from word of mouth! In 2008, less than a year after posting his videos online, Justin was signed to Island Records.
Justin has put out four singles: “One Time,” “One Less Lonely Girl,” “Love Me,” and “Favorite Girl,” which were Top 15 hits on the Canadian Hot 100 and Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Justin Bieber is the only artist in Billboard history to have four singles from a debut album chart in the top 40 of the Hot 100 before the album’s release. Bieber’s first album, My World, was released on November 17th, 2009. The album sold 137,000 copies in its first week, which was the second best opening release for a new artist in 2009. At 15 years old, Justin accomplished what many artists spend their whole careers hoping to achieve. Buy your Justin Bieber tickets today and experience the young prodigy for yourself!
