Justin Drew Bieber, born on March 1, 1994, in London, Ontario, Canada, is one of the most successful and influential singer-songwriters in the global pop music scene of the early 21st century. Bieber's journey is a modern fairy tale, from an ordinary boy in Stratford, discovered through videos posted by his mother on YouTube, to a superstar who owns dozens of Guinness Records and hundreds of prestigious awards. With more than 150 million records sold, he is a living testament to his spectacular breakthrough ability, as well as a symbol of the turbulent ups and downs of a global star.

Childhood and first steps

Justin Bieber was born into a family that was not very well-off. His parents, Jeremy Jack Bieber and Pattie Mallette, separated when they were just 18 years old, shortly after he was born. Justin grew up in his mother's arms, with support from his maternal grandparents. He also has three half-siblings: Jazmyn, Jaxon and Bay, and a stepsister, Allie. From an early age, Justin showed a natural musical talent. The boy can teach himself and play a variety of instruments such as piano, guitar, drums, and trumpet. He attended public schools in Stratford and graduated from high school in 2012 with impressive grades.

The fateful turning point came in 2007. At that time, Justin was only 12 years old, participated in a local singing contest and won second prize. His mother filmed the performance, posted it on YouTube, and has since attracted the attention of many people, including music manager Scooter Braun.

Career Beginnings and Global Breakthroughs

Scooter Braun, after stumbling upon Justin's videos, contacted his mother. He took the boy to Atlanta to audition and meet the famous singer Usher. Impressed by Justin's talent, Usher helped him sign with Island Records.

In 2009, Justin officially released his debut EP titled My World, with outstanding songs such as "One Time" and "One Less Lonely Girl". This was the perfect stepping stone, helping Justin quickly build a loyal fan community, known as the "Beliebers".

The peak of his career came in 2010 with the album My World 2.0. The album immediately reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, making Justin the youngest male solo artist to achieve this feat in nearly 50 years. The song "Baby" on the album became a global phenomenon, with the music video reaching billions of views on YouTube, making Justin a familiar name to the public and known as the new "prince of pop".

Periods of ups and downs and strong rebirth

After initial success, Justin continued to assert his position with the album Christmas Under the Mistletoe (2011), which was the first Christmas album by a male artist to debut at No. 1 in the United States. In 2012, he released Believe, an album with a dance-pop and EDM style, which helped him get rid of his teenage image and establish himself as an adult artist.

However, in the period 2013–2014, Justin was constantly involved in scandals, ranging from minor violations of the law to rebellious acts and a noisy personal life. His public image was seriously affected, causing many to worry that his career could go into a dead end.

However, Justin has come back stronger than ever. In 2015, the album Purpose was considered a milestone of rebirth, with the hits "Sorry", "Love Yourself" and "What Do You Mean?". The album was a huge success both in terms of sales and expertise, bringing Justin back to the top pop star. In 2020, he released the album Changes, which was heavily R&B, which continued to lead the major charts. This is also the time when Justin openly shares about his health difficulties, and shows that he has become more stable in life thanks to marrying model Hailey Baldwin.

Sustainability Achievements and Impact

To date, Justin Bieber has received more than 360 awards and more than 850 nominations, including 2 Grammy Awards, 1 Latin Grammy, 8 Juno Awards, 2 Brit Awards, 26 Billboard Music Awards, 18 American Music Awards and 22 MTV Europe Music Awards – the most for an artist. He also holds more than 35 Guinness World Records, from the number of albums reaching No. 1 at a very young age to a huge number of fans on social media.

Justin Bieber's art style was strongly influenced by Michael Jackson, Usher, Justin Timberlake and The Beatles. His music is a mix of genres, from teen pop, R&B, dance-pop to EDM, showing creative versatility. Justin is considered a symbol of the era when young artists rose from the internet, setting a precedent for the next generation of artists.

Personal life and latest information

In addition to his career, Justin Bieber's private life has also always been the focus of the press. He had a multi-year love affair with singer Selena Gomez before marrying model Hailey Baldwin in 2018. After marriage, Justin gradually became more psychologically stable, openly struggled with health problems and actively participated in charity activities. The image of the rebellious star gradually gave way to a mature, responsible artist.

In 2021, Justin Bieber released the album Justice, in which the song "Peaches" stood out. The album quickly reached No. 1 in the United States, making him the youngest solo artist to have eight No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. In addition, he has collaborated with many other artists such as Ariana Grande on "Stuck with U" and The Kid Laroi on "Stay" – this song continues to sweep the world.

However, Justin Bieber's recent steps are facing many challenges. The SWAG album was once expected to be a big boost after four years of absence from the stage, but despite reaching No. 2 on the Billboard 200, the album quickly cooled down after just a few weeks. This is the first time his album has not reached No. 1, causing fans to call this the biggest "flop" in the singer's career. At the same time, Justin also had to settle financial issues with his former manager Scooter Braun, agreeing to pay more than $30 million, including $26 million in loans to cover losses for the canceled Justice tour and more than $5 million in outstanding commissions.

On the evening of September 4 (US time), Justin Bieber suddenly announced that the SWAG II album would be released at midnight on September 5. The album was also heavily promoted with pastel pink tones covering billboards in big cities. However, due to the "need for further editing", the album was postponed and only officially appeared on online music platforms a few hours later.

SWAG II consists of 21 new songs with the participation of many artists, clearly showing the tendency to lean towards pop. Justin's rush to release the album is said to avoid a direct confrontation with Taylor Swift with her new album in October. Currently, experts believe that SWAG II is more likely to create surprises when competing for the No. 1 position on the Billboard 200 with Sabrina Carpenter – who has just made a comeback with the album Man's Best Friend. If successful, SWAG II will become an important turning point to help Justin Bieber both strengthen his career and relieve financial pressure. But if it continues to fail, not only the new album but also the image of the once "Prince of Pop" will also be in serious danger.
