Career

He picked up playing the trumpet, guitar, drums, and piano as he was growing up. At the age of 12, Bieber competed in a local singing contest in Stratford and came in second with his performance of Ne-“So Yo’s Sick.” Usher is an R&B musician who Bieber met by chance and set up a casual audition with. Usher assisted in signing Bieber to a recording contract in late 2008 after being moved by his natural confidence and singing ability.

The upbeat puppy-love song “One Time” was Bieber’s debut single, which he released in May 2009. Six months later, he released the seven-track EP My World, which was primarily made up of glitzy pop with R&B influences. His fan base had significantly grown by this point to include innumerable preadolescent females who saw him as their heartthrob, and the album had already sold over a million copies.

With the full-length album My World 2.0 (2010), which debuted at the top of the Billboard album list, he recreated the achievement. The album’s initial single, the longingly emotional “Baby,” which features a cameo from rapper Ludacris, peaked at number five on Billboard’s singles list. Several additional songs made the Top 40. Additionally, the official “Baby” video became the first on YouTube to surpass 500 million views.

Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story, an autobiographical book, and the CD My Worlds Acoustic, which featured stripped-down renditions of his songs, were both released later in 2010. The following year, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, a documentary with 3-D concert footage intercut, debuted. Bieber continued to be well-known due to the albums Never Say Never: The film’s companion album The Remixes (2011) and the holiday-themed Under the Mistletoe (2011) both peaked at number one in the US and Canada. Bieber debuted a more mature sound with the commercially successful Believe (2012) and Believe Acoustic (2013) albums, with the breakthrough single “Boyfriend” evoking Justin Timberlake’s slick R&B.

As Justin Bieber grew older, his fame frequently eclipsed his musical talent. He received a lot of tabloid attention due to his sexual relationships (including one with Selena Gomez) and run-ins with the law. Each of the album Purpose’s opening three singles reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2015, expanding the listenership of his music beyond his younger fan base.

The Grammy Award-winning electro-pop single “Where Are Ü Now” by Jack Ü featured vocals by Justin Bieber as well in 2015. A number of well-known songs were produced as a result of subsequent musical collaborations. Changes were motivated by Bieber and model Hailey Baldwin’s marriage in 2018. Justice, his sixth studio album, was released to the public in 2021.

Influence and Impact

HuffPost, an American news aggregation and blog, named Justin Bieber the top philanthropic celebrity of 2011. Charity: Water, a foundation that supplies people in underdeveloped nations with safe drinking water, was sponsored by Justin Bieber. In 2011 and 2012, he started his effort to get his Twitter followers to make donations on his birthday.

In 2013, Bieber started his online #GiveBackPhilippines initiative to aid those affected by Typhoon Haiyan. After earning $3 million, Bieber visited the Philippines. He received a star on the Philippine Walk of Fame for his contributions to the nation. Additionally, he supports the Alzheimer’s Association and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Justin Bieber gave the American Red Cross $25,000 in September 2017 to aid those in Texas recovering from Hurricane Harvey’s devastating effects.

On February 7, 2020, Bieber gave Julie Coker, a 22-year-old fan who works in mental health awareness, $100,000. Coker acknowledged that her own prior problems with mental illness served as inspiration for her advocacy work.

To aid in the COVID-19 relief effort, Bieber donated to the Beijing Chunmiao Children Aid Foundation in China in February 2020. The song “Stuck With You,” written by Bieber and Ariana Grande, was the first of several releases arranged by Hollywood mogul Scooter Braun, who is also Bieber’s manager, to raise money for the COVID-19 epidemic. It was released in May 2020.

The First Responders Children’s Foundation received all net revenues from the song and used them to provide awards and scholarships to the children of first responders and healthcare professionals who served on the front lines during the pandemic. The single had amassed more than $3,500,000 by August 2021. Bieber and Chance the Rapper declared in September 2020 that they had teamed up with Cash App and would provide $250,000 to followers who were struggling during the pandemic.

Controversies

Before his first arrest in 2014, Justin Bieber had a number of legal run-ins, including when he was cited with careless driving in his neighborhood in 2012 and vandalism in Brazil in 2013. On January 9, 2014, one of his neighbors in Calabasas, California, said Bieber threw eggs at his house, inflicting $4,000 in damage. In Miami Beach, Florida, on January 23, 2014, Bieber and singer Khalil were both detained on suspicion of DUI, driving with a license that had been expired for more than six months, and nonviolently resisting arrest. According to the police, Bieber admitted to using prescription medications, smoking marijuana, drinking beer, and taking intoxicants. He posted a $2,500 bond and was freed from these accusations.

More than 270,000 people petitioned the White House to have Justin Bieber deported from the United States after his arrest on a DUI charge.

Although the petition had enough signatures to merit a response under the White House’s established policies, the Obama Administration failed to offer any substantial comments.

For tossing eggs at his Calabasas neighbor’s house in January, Bieber was charged with one misdemeanor count of vandalism in California on July 9, 2014. After the eggs were hurled, the police allegedly obtained video of him high-fiving buddies. The Los Angeles County Superior Court sentenced him on July 9 to $80,900 in reparations, two years of probation, the completion of 12 weeks of anger management treatment, and five days of community service after he entered a no contest plea to the allegation.

Bieber was accused of sexual assault in June 2020 by an unidentified woman only known as “Danielle,” who claimed on Twitter that the singer had engaged in extramarital sex with Selena Gomez in March 2014 at a Four Seasons hotel in Austin, Texas. The lady claimed that Twitter user “itsgabby,” who had accused actor Ansel Elgort of sexual assault the week before, had given her the idea to share her experience. Bieber refuted all the claims in a series of tweets.

He refuted all accusations by providing evidence that he was not at the scene during the purported occurrence. Bieber dismissed the $20 million lawsuit against the two Twitter users on March 23, 2022.
