Justin Bieber


Justin Drew Bieber born on March 1st 1994 in London Ontario. Raised in Stratford, Ontario. Justin is a Canadian pop,R&B singer/songwriter and actor.
Justin's mother, Patricia Lynn "Pattie" Mallette, was 18 years old when she became pregnant with her son. Mallette, who worked a series of low-paying office jobs, raised Bieber as a single mother in low-income housing. Justin has maintained contact with his father, Jeremy Jack Bieber, who married another woman and had two children. His paternal great-grandfather was a German immigrant to Canada. His mother's ancestry is French Canadian.
Justin has been nominated and awarded numerous accolades over the past few years, winning Artist of the Year at the 2010 American Music Awards.
During his childhood, Justin was interested in hockey,soccer and chess. He often kept his musical aspirations to himself. As he grew up, Justin taught himself to play the piano, drums, guitar, and trumpet. Early in 2007 when he was twelve Justin sang Ne-Yo's "So Sick" for a local singing competition in Stratford and placed second. Mallette posted a video of the performance on You Tube for their family and friends to see. She continued to upload videos of Bieber singing covers of various R&B songs, and Bieber's popularity on the site grew. The longer hairstyle formerly worn by Justin and its popularity with teenage girls proved to be cultural phenomenon, becoming one of the most copied hairstyles among teenage boys. Justin's hairstyle has also proved popular with young lesbians. He ended up changing his hairstyle in February 2011 and a lock of Justin Bieber's hair has been sold for $40,668 (£25,024) in a charity sale on Ebay with 98 bids in total. The hair actually toured America with its own bodyguard, and fans could have their picture taken with it in return for a charitable donation. Justin donated the winnings to a charity which rescues and rehabilitates animals.
