It’s only been 10 years since Justin Bieber was first discovered by a talent scout on YouTube, but he’s since become one of the best-selling artists in today’s music industry—and he’s not even 25. His debut studio album, My World 2.0, rocketed up to the top spot on numerous charts around the world and his hit single “Baby” catapulted him to instant teen heartthrob status. He’s since gone on to release 3 more albums that highlight his unique blend of dance-pop, R&B, and hip hop—a style he credits to influences that include Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Boyz II Men, and The Beatles. The Biebs has won 15 American Music Awards, including Artist of the Year twice, earned a Grammy for Best Dance Recording for 2016’s “Where Are Ü Now,” and has been named among the top 10 most powerful celebrities in the world 4 times by Forbes magazine. As the first artist to surpass 10 billion video views on Vevo, it’s truly no surprise that Justin Bieber continues to sell out concert tickets for his worldwide tours.
Justin Bieber was just 13 years old when a talent manager named Scooter Braun just happened to stumble upon one of his singing videos on YouTube. Impressed, Braun got in contact with the soon-to-be star and before Justin knew it, he was signed in a joint venture with Island Records and Raymond Braun Media Group. After putting out an EP in 2009, Bieber released his first full-length studio album in 2010. With singles like “Somebody to Love” and “One Less Lonely Girl,” the record debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, making Bieber—just 16 at the time—the youngest solo male artist to top the chart since Stevie Wonder in 1963. He soon began touring to promote that and following albums Believe and Purpose, selling out concerts form Los Angeles to London to Lisbon. When Bieber hits the road again, act fast on your tickets as they’re likely to disappear.
