Justin Drew Bieber was born in London, Ontario, in 1994, and raised in low-income housing by the single mother who would share one of his earliest performances on YouTube in 2006, kicking off one of the most storied careers in music history. In tandem with setting Guinness World Records for streams, sales, radio plays, social media followers and video views, the boy became a man in public and on record - his celebrated fourth and fifth albums, 2015's Purpose and 2020's Changes, found him shedding a bubblegum background for new sonic frontiers and critical acclaim. But as Bieber grew up, so did his taste and perspective. At the heart of that success is an immense talent (both vocal and instrumental) initially tailor-made to court a global fan base of fervent tweens and kids. Although he's taken the occasional hiatus from the spotlight, Bieber was a seasoned performer before he was old enough to vote. His debut concert tour, 2010's My World Tour, launched when he was 16, sold 1.4 million tickets and grossed $53 million. He is, of course, Justin Bieber - the Canadian-born singer, songwriter, musician and world's biggest pop star, period. He's danced madly on EDM festival stages while backed by wild bass kicked out by Diplo and Skrillex, and he's faced off with Questlove in a live drum battle. He's also held court to seas of screaming fans while sitting on a stool with an acoustic guitar. He's descended from the rafters attached to giant angel wings made of speaker parts.
