Childhood and the beginning of a creative biography
Justin Bieber was born March 1, 1994 in the Canadian city of London. Justin grew up in a single-parent family. His mother was 19 years old when she gave birth to Justin. Although she continued to maintain relationships with her child’s father, she had to work in several places at the same time to provide for herself and Justin. He tried to ensure that the son received everything that the child needed 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 independently learned to play the piano, guitar, drums and trumpet. At age 12, Justin Bieber took second place at a local song contest, and mom posted a video with his performance on Youtube. Justin recorded new songs, and mom continued to upload them on Youtube.
A year after Justin Bieber’s first video clips appeared on the Internet, his mother was contacted by Scooter Brown, a recording studio at Asher’s renowned R&B artist. After lengthy negotiations, Justin's mother gave permission for her son to collaborate with the label Raymond Braun Media Group, owned by Asher and Brown.
Swift star career
The 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 countries.
A year later, with a little 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 by the single and finished fifth in the 2010 US charts. As of October 2018, the clip for this song has garnered 2 billion views on Youtube. The same number of views today collected the song What Do You Mean.
In 2011, Justin Bieber starred in the TV series "CSI: Crime Scene", in 2014 - in the cameo role of the comedy "Bad Behavior." The main female role in this film was played by Selena Gomez, with whom Justin Bieber had previously met for two years.
In total, Justin Bieber has released 4 studio albums (the last was released in 2015) and more than 30 singles in his meek 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 was nominated for a Grammy Award six times. One of these nominations - in 2016 - ended in victory. He also received many other prestigious awards in different countries. In 2011, Forbes magazine put his name on the second line in the list of the most paid representatives of show business under the age of 30 years. Three years later, Justin Bieber took the first place in this list.
Social Behavior and Public Opinion
Justin Bieber's behavior in society more than once caused complaints and brought him to the police station. Most often it was a dangerous ride behind the wheel. Once his plane was detained at the airport on suspicion of drug trafficking. Suspicion was not subsequently 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 is still a Canadian citizen. In the USA he has a residence permit. In 2014, after the police arrested Justin for drinking and driving, a petition appeared on the White House's official website for recalling Justin Bieber's residence permit. The required number of signatures for the petition was not collected, and it seems that the petition initiators did not pursue such a goal. Everything turned into an exchange of jokes between Canadian and American singer fans.
The attitude of society towards Justin Bieber cannot be called unambiguously warm, despite the universal recognition of his talent and success. He is accused of misconduct and "star disease". The press gladly reprints reports of his next meetings with the police, adding details that do not always have at least something in common with reality. Perhaps the reasons for this are the banal envy and the desire to make money on the name of a star.
