How it all Started for Justin Bieber

By Ted Baker


Justin Bieber is a 16 year old heart throb who is rocking the nation with his great music, good looks and his down to earth personality. Justin's music climbs the charts, the girls swoon and his new found success has led to a whole series of dolls that look just like him and even play a short clip of a hit tune.

When Justin Bieber's mother first became aware of his musical abilities she hoped he would become a Christian rock star. He had taught himself how to play guitar and keyboard and soon was playing for small change on the streets of his small Canadian hometown. In his first summer of performing he earned three thousand dollars in tips. He used this new-found source of income to take his mom with him for a visit to Disneyland. It was a nice sum of money for a poor fourteen year old kid but it was nothing compared to the fame and fortune which would soon be literally knocking on his door.

The amateur footage uploaded on YouTube caught the Atlanta manager's attention, Scooter Braun, who later became Bieber's manager. Braun then introduced Justin to RnB superstar Usher whom the latter arranged an audition with Antonio L.A. Reid at Island Def Jam Music Group. Reid in turn signed him to Island Records in October 2008.

Second release "My World 2.0" came in March 2010 got an international hit "Baby". iTunes store released 3 consecutive hits "One Less Lonely Girl", "Love Me", "Favorite Girl" and charted on top 40 of "Billboard Hot 100". The song "One Less Lonely Girl" rated top 15 in Canada and United States, after releasing on radio. After the international hit "Baby" from his second album, another super hit song "Ludacris" came, and become the biggest hit. This new hit song charted at number five position in U.S. and top ten in other countries. "Never Let You Go" and "U Smile" charted the top 20 in Canada and top 30 in United States. These two singles make him the youngest solo male act to top the chart since Stevie Wonder.

Since then Justin has done several concerts worldwide, appearing on international stages and climbed the popularity charts thanks to young girls from six to sixteen. It is hard to say which is the biggest draw to this young man - his looks or his music, or perhaps the magic is the combination of the two. He is definitely on the road to success and his Justin Bieber doll collection will be a winner with his fans as well.

Other than the music he has release a 3D movie, acted in CSI as a troubled teenager, was a presenter at the Grammys, has been invited to as a guest to all the top late night and morning TV shows, has won tons of awards and performed for the president of the United States of America. What a mouthful. He has achieved so much at the age of 16 that most would not even contemplate in their lifetime. So is that it? No way , he is just getting started. With the Justin Bieber Doll line, nail polish, fragrance and so many other products to be launched, he is making sure that if and when his popularity fades, he will not have to worry about financial status later on.
