Justin Bieber, Canadian singer-songwriter

Justin Drew Bieber is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Regarded as a pop icon, he is known for his multi-genre musical performances. Bieber was discovered by Scooter Braun in 2008 and brought to the US by Usher, who jointly formed RBMG Records to sign Bieber. He rose to mainstream fame with his debut album, My World 2.0 (2010), which topped the US Billboard 200, making him the youngest solo male to do so in 47 years. Its lead single, "Baby", became a best selling single. Bieber's debut EP, My World (2009), was met with international recognition and established him as a teen idol. His second album, Under the Mistletoe (2011), became the first Christmas album by a male artist to debut atop the chart. Bieber shifted to dance-pop on his third album, Believe (2012); its acoustic re-release made him the first artist in Billboard history to have five US number-one albums by the age of 18.
