Who Is Justin Bieber?

Justin Bieber is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1994 in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, to a single mother, Bieber took second place in a local talent competition at a young age. After his mother posted YouTube clips of her boy performing, Bieber went from an unknown, untrained singer to a budding superstar with a big-time record deal with Usher within two years. Bieber went on to become the first solo artist to have four singles enter the Top 40 before the release of a debut album.

His 2009 album, My World, went platinum in several countries. He later experienced significant media exposure from offensive activity. Nonetheless, the singer made his comeback in 2015 with his first number one song, "What Do You Mean?" His 2017 collaboration with Luis Fonsi, “Despacito,” broke the all-time record for most consecutive weeks at the number one spot on the Top 100. Bieber broke another record in early 2020 when the success of Changes made him the youngest artist to have seven albums reach the top spot on the Billboard Hot 200.

Justin Bieber’s Dad and Mom

Justin Bieber was raised by a single mom. His dad, Jeremy Bieber, left to start a family with another woman. According to some media reports, Justin and his father weren’t close growing up; his dad has been at times described as being a “deadbeat” who only resurfaced after Justin achieved YouTube fame. Jeremy reportedly considered becoming a rapper himself and has struggled with addiction problems. It was also reported that Justin had been partying with his dad just before his January 2014 arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

Despite their allegedly complicated relationship, Justin has maintained that he and his dad are close. In 2010, 16-year-old Justin told Seventeen magazine: “I have a great relationship with my dad. When I was younger, he taught me how to play some songs on the guitar, like ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’ by Bob Dylan.” Justin’s first tattoo, a seagull that he got in 2010, matches one his father has.

In February 2016, Justin told GQ magazine, “I’m a lot closer to my dad than I am to my mum.” Two months later, Justin attended a party to celebrate his dad’s engagement to girlfriend Chelsey Rebelow. When Jeremy became a father again in August 2018, Justin welcomed little sister Bay to the family.

Early Career

Justin Bieber was discovered by Scooter Braun whilst he was searching for new talent on YouTube. The talent manager accidentally stumbled on Bieber after clicking on one of his videos in 2007. The manager was so impressed that he found the theatre that Bieber performed at, and eventually contacted his mother who was reluctant because of Scooter Braun’s Judaism. The family was devoutly Christian and she said that she had prayed for a Christian manager and label, but her Church convinced her to allow then 13 year old Bieber to go to Atlanta with Braun to record a demo. The following week the singer began singing for Usher and was signed to RBMG, which was a joint venture between Usher and Braun.

It was reported that there was a bidding war over the singer and that Justin Timberlake was also trying to sign him but he lost out to Usher. The singer was then signed tp Island Records in 2008 and he and his mother moved to Atlanta. The singer released his first single ‘One Time’ in 2008 whilst he was working on his first album. The song made it to the charts in both Canada and the United States, peaking at number 17 on the Hot 100. The song reached platinum certification in both Canada and the United States. The singer released his first extended play, called ‘My World’ in 2009. The EP featured the singles ‘One Less Lonely Girl’, ‘Love Me’ and ‘Favourite Girl’.

It wasn't easy for Gomez to be Bieber's girlfriend, as she was accosted by some of his devoted followers. There were even death threats posted against her on Twitter after the pair was photographed kissing while on a 2011 vacation. The couple ended their relationship in November 2012, though they remained in touch on and off. In November 2017, Bieber and Gomez were spotted together publicly several times, stoking rumors that they had gotten back together.

Gomez's chart-topping ballad "Lose You to Love Me," released in fall 2019, was speculated to be about her relationship with Bieber.

Who else has Justin Bieber dated?

Justin has been linked to a number of different women.

Most famously he dated Selena Gomez on and off from 2010. The pair were dubbed "Jelena" and each time they reconcile their fans go into meltdown.

They were last linked in October 2017 after Justin asked her to be his plus one at his dad's Caribbean wedding.

Justin was then seen hiking with model Audreyana Michelle, but prior to that was linked to singer and actress Hailee Steinfeld.

The pair sparked rumours of a romance among his fans after they were seen having a private conversation after Hailee attended the Met Gala alongside Justin's then ex, Selena Gomez.

They were said to have been introduced to each other by Pastor Carl Lentz because they both attend his church.

In 2017, Justin was also linked to Lionel Richie's daughter Sofia.

Does Justin suffer from depression?

In February 2019, sources told People that Justin was struggling with depression.

"It has nothing to do with Hailey — he is very happy being married to her.

"It's just something else that he struggles with mentally. He has good help around him and is receiving some treatment.

"He seems confident he will feel better soon."

A separate source told People that Bieber struggled with being in the public eye.

“He’s emotional and struggles a lot with the idea of fame — being followed, having his every move stalked by fans, cameras in his face,” the source said.

“It all sets him off and he often feels like everyone is out to get him.”
