Even at a young age, Bieber had always been musically inclined. He quickly learned to play several instruments, including the piano, guitar, drums, and trumpet. When he was 12 years old, Bieber joined a local singing contest where he sang “So Sick” by Ne-Yo. He won second prize and his mother posted a video of his performance on YouTube. Since then, she kept uploading videos every time Bieber performed.

Music Career: The Beginnings

Justin Bieber was discovered when he was just 14 years old. His present manager Scooter Braun opened one of his videos on YouTube in 2007 by accident and was impressed by what he saw. He located Bieber and took him to Atlanta to make some recording demos. Just a few days upon his arrival, Bieber found himself singing in front of Usher.

The R&B superstar also liked what he saw and soon enough, Bieber was signed to Raymond Braun Media Group. This is an outfit co-owned by Braun and Usher. This paved the way for Bieber to eventually sign a contract with Island Records. Bieber and his mother then moved to Atlanta so that he can pursue his newfound career in the music industry.

Two years later, Bieber was ready with his debut album. It was released in two parts – My World and My World 2.0. My World went on to become 5x platinum. It also set the record as the first debut album that had 4 singles land in the Billboard Top 40 even before the album was released. These singles were One Time, Love Me, One Less Lonely Girl, and Favorite Girl.

My World 2.0 also did amazingly well, debuting at the top of the US Billboard 200 after selling close to 700,000 copies in the first 3 weeks.

With only one album in his name, Justin Bieber’s net worth was already valued at more than $10 million.

The string of highly successful albums was just beginning. In 2011, Bieber released the Never Say Never album. At the same time, a biopic/concert of the same title was also released in theaters. It grossed about #12.4 million just on the opening day, and a total of more than $98 million for the entire run. In the same year, Forbes named him the 2^nd highest paid celebrity under 30 for earning #53 million in a year.

Three years later, this was followed by the much-awaited Purpose in 2015. It took 5 years for the next album, Changes, to come out in 2020, which was immediately followed by Justice a year later. All albums generated an impressive amount of revenue

Bieber also set a Guinness World Record with “What Do You Mean”, for becoming the youngest male artist to debut at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His hit single, Baby, from the My World 2.0 album, remains to be the highest-certified digital single of all time.
