The Bieber Fever
Do you have the Bieber fever? Well, millions of people of all ages have the bug. It seems to be quite contagious. I find myself humming Baby, Baby, Oh unexpectedly on occasion. The Justin Bieber phenomenon was once an everyday Canadian boy, but since gaining worldly notoriety in 2008, he has become a full pledged celebrity! This amazingly talented seventeen year old released an EP as well as an album within the first few months of being discovered on YouTube and has now become a superstar in the music industry.
Justin Bieber Growing Up
Justin's full name is Justin Drew Bieber. Born on March 1, 1994 in Stratford, Ontario, Justin was brought up in a single parent home. Justin's mother, Pattie Mallette, has been the rock in Justin's life and is supportive with all of Justin's personal goals. The Bieber learned to play musical instruments, first introduced to drums & guitar, when he was a child. Fast forwards to the year of 2007, Justin participated in a singing competition in his hometown called the "Stratford Idol". Without actually practicing, Justin was able to win the second place in the competition! Pattie Mallette, was so proud of her son that she helped Justin post his video clips of himself singing onto YouTube, successfully attracting the attention of thousands of viewers daily. The videos eventually went viral. The word spread like wildfire!
The Live Changing Moment
YouTube. Who uses it? Millions of people every day from all over the world. Guess who else uses it? Scooter Braun. Who is that you may ask and why is he relevant? Because he owns "So So Def Recordings" and he immediately took interest in Justin's video postings. The studio managed to track down the Bieber family and offered them to be flown out to the studios to try Justin in the sound booth to record his skills.
R & B singer Usher was invited to the studio to meet with Justin and to see if he had what it takes to be a success in the industry. Usher was blown away by the vocal skills as well as his confidence. They wanted this kid recording ASAP. Jointly, "So So Def Recordings" and Usher signed Justin Bieber to start his first album.
Justin's First Single
While still in the process of recording and refining the album, the studio released a single called "One Time". The world loved it and wanted to see and hear more. Even before the albums official release The Bieber Fever began to spread across the globe and reached the top twenty in five countries.
When the album "My World 2.0" was released in 2010 with the hit single called "Baby" the fans ate it up. Teaming up with "Ludacris" for the hit, The Bieber Fever was totally out of control.
The Bieber Fever Merchandise The word also spread to the business world. Offers for product line promotions began to invade the once innocent Justin Bieber's world. Today the Bieber promotes everything from clothing to jewelry. Generally people can become tired of seeing him everywhere they look... but I digress.
Full Pledged Celebrity
2011 comes along and the Bieber is in all the tabloids with Hollywood Starlet Selena Gomez. He is simply enjoying what life has to offer. Fame and money usually change a person. Justin seems to still be himself even though he is surrounded by the media.
