Justin Drew Bieber is a Canadian pop/R&B singer, songwriter and actor. Bieber was discovered in 2008 by Scooter
Braun, who came across Bieber's videos on YouTube and later became his manager.
Braun arranged for him to meet with Usher in Atlanta, Georgia, and Bieber was
soon signed to Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG), a joint venture between Braun
and Usher, and then to a recording contract with Island Records offered by L.A.
Reid.
Bieber's debut single, "One Time", was released in
2009 and peaked in the top ten in Canada and charted in the top thirty in
several international markets. His debut release, My World, followed on
November 17, 2009, and was eventually certified platinum in the United States.
He became the first artist to have seven songs from a debut album chart on the
Billboard Hot 100. Bieber's first full studio release, My World 2.0, was
released on March 23, 2010 and debuted at number one and within the top ten of
several countries, and was certified platinum in the United States. It was
preceded by the worldwide top-ten single, "Baby", in January 2010.
The music video of "Baby" is currently ranked as the most viewed and
most discussed YouTube video, and was the most disliked until being overtaken
by Rebecca Black's song "Friday". Bieber followed-up the release of
his debut album with his first headlining tour, the My World Tour, the remix
albums My Worlds Acoustic and Never Say Never – The Remixes, and the 3D
biopic-concert film Justin Bieber: Never Say Never – which had an opening
weekend gross that nearly matched the record for the biggest opening weekend
for a concert-film.
Throughout his rise to fame, Bieber has been nominated and
awarded numerous accolades, winning Artist of the Year at the 2010 American
Music Awards, and being nominated for Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album
at the 53rd Grammy Awards. Bieber is considered a teen idol, and has been
subject to acclaim from fans, as well as criticism and controversy from matters
concerning his popularity and image.
