Justin Beiber is a canadian singer and teen idol whose charming looks and captivating pop songs began to cause a worldwide frenzy in 2009.


Before Justin Bieber's movie "Never say never" which earned a whopping 73 million dollars, before his song "Baby" entered the Billboard top 10 and became the second most-watched video on YouTube after "Gangnam style"... Justin was  a young lad growing up in a small Canadian with a teenage mother.

Here is a brief account of his life before stardom, before he rose to popularity as Hollywood's bad boy and hosted a roast in his own name.

Justin Drew Beiber, who grew up in London, Ontario, Canada, is the best example of an overnight success. His mother Patty Millet, who gave birth to him on March 1st, 1994, had aspirations to perform and act when she was younger, but living two hours west of Toronto prevented her from pursuing those goals. 

She then started using drugs and stealing in her early years. It was when she tried to end her life that she got admitted to a hospital for mental instability. There in the hospital, she later embraced Christianity. 

When she was only 16, her on-and-off lover Jeremy Bieber made her pregnant, this happened while she was still living with her mother. After little Justin was born, the couple made an effort to make things work, but they only succeeded for 10 months. She therefore provided for him on her own.

Justin Bieber's mother gave him a drum set for his second birthday because he had always been interested in music. According to Justin, he basically banged on anything he could get his hands on. The piano, guitar, drums, and trumpet were among the instruments Justin learnt to play while attending an elementary school with a French immersion program. 


Justin concentrated on his musical goals while his mother recorded each step of his development as he was growing up in a quiet area with few distractions.

When Justin Bieber was 12 years old, he participated in a local talent competition where he performed "Neo so sick." For some reason, he came in second, but his mother recorded the entire performance and uploaded it to YouTube.

When Scooter Braun, a former marketing executive for "so so deaf," came across this video of Justin while looking for another singer online, he made the decision to find Justin and his mother.

His mother Patty was initially hoping for a Christian label to locate her son. However, when the scooter appeared, she quickly adjusted to the situation and soon enough, they were living in Atlanta and working with Usher. 

Justin Timberlake was also interested in signing the young Justin but Usher did outbid him in the bidding war. After that, they signed with "L.A" Reid at Island Records, and rumor has it that Justin jumped on a table up to impress him in order to secure this deal.

Justin's first single 'One time' was certified platinum in his native canada and his album "My World" broke into the billboard's top 10 in the early 2000s and that's when the track Baby was unleashed out into the world.


After this, Justin Bieber's name and song was on almost every one's lips. Since it's an article on his life prior to fame, I'll end here.
