He gained recognition following the release of his debut extended play (EP) My World (2009), which was quickly met with international commercial success and led to his establishment as a teen idol.

Bieber was ushered into mainstream stardom with his teen pop-driven debut studio album, My World 2.0 (2010), which debuted atop the US Billboard 200 and made him the youngest solo male act to do so in 47 years.
The album was supported by the single “Baby” (featuring Ludacris), which became one of the best selling singles of all time.

His second studio album, Under the Mistletoe (2011), became the first Christmas album by a male artist to debut atop the chart and saw continued success.

Bieber experimented with dance-pop on his third studio 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.
Over the next two years, Bieber was involved in multiple controversies and legal issues, which led to a tarnishing of his public image.

In 2015, Bieber explored EDM on “Where Are Ü Now” (with Jack Ü), which won the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Recording.

This influenced his fourth album Purpose (2015), which yielded three Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles: “Love Yourself,” “Sorry”, and “What Do You Mean?”.

He made UK chart history when each of which simultaneously held the top three spots on the country’s chart.

His guest performances on the 2017 singles “I’m the One” by DJ Khaled and “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi both peaked the Billboard Hot 100 and made Bieber among the few artists to replace himself atop the chart.

The latter also earned him a Latin Grammy Award. His 2019 single, “10,000 Hours” (with Dan + Shay) won the Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.

 His R&B-inspired fifth album Changes (2020), debuted at number one in both the UK and US, while his standalone duet single “Stuck with U” (with Ariana Grande) debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100. 

His sixth album, Justice (2021) was supported by the worldwide hit “Peaches” and topped the Billboard 200, breaking Elvis Presley’s 1965 record for the youngest solo act to have eight US number-one albums.

His eighth US number one single, “Stay” (with the Kid Laroi) was released that same year.

Bieber is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with estimated sales of over 150 million records worldwide. He is credited with four diamond certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Bieber’s various awards include two Grammy Awards, one Latin Grammy Award, eight Juno Awards, two Brit Awards, 26 Billboard Music Awards, 18 American Music Awards, 22 MTV Europe Music Awards (the most wins for any artist), 23 Teen Choice Awards (the most wins for a male individual), and 33 Guinness World Records.

Time named Bieber one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2011, and he was included on Forbes‘ list of the top ten most powerful celebrities in 2011, 2012, and 2013.

Early life

Justin Bieber was born on March 1, 1994, at St. Joseph’s Hospital in London, Ontario, and was raised in Stratford, Ontario.

His parents Jeremy Jack Bieber and Pattie Mallette were both 18 when Bieber was born and split up not long after his birth. Pattie worked a series of low-paying office jobs, raising Bieber as a single mother in low-income housing.

Mallette’s mother Diane and stepfather Bruce helped her raise Bieber. Bieber has maintained contact with his father. Bieber’s ancestry includes French-Canadian, Irish, English, Scottish, and German.

In 2012, Bieber claimed “I’m actually part Indian. I think Inuit or something? I’m enough per cent that in Canada I can get free gas”,
Sparking criticism from the Canadian Congress of Aboriginal Peoples for perpetuating a common misconception that Indigenous people receive complimentary gasoline from the Canadian government.

Bieber has three younger half-siblings; the four have the same father, Jeremy Bieber. Jeremy Bieber and his ex-girlfriend, Erin Wagner, who broke up in 2014 after seven years together, have two children, daughter Jazmyn and son Jaxon.

Jeremy married his girlfriend Chelsey in February 2018, and they have a daughter named Bay. Bieber also has a stepsister named Allie, the daughter of his stepmother.

Bieber attended two French-language immersion elementary schools in Stratford, Jeanne Sauvé Catholic School and Bedford Public School. In grades 7 and 8, he attended Stratford Northwestern.

Former teacher, Kim Booker often recalled fond memories of Bieber as her student, and is featured in several interviews. He attended Stratford’s St. Michael Catholic Secondary School, and graduated in 2012 with a 4.0 GPA.

Growing up, he learned to play the piano, drums, guitar, and trumpet.

In early 2007, aged 12, Bieber performed Ne-Yo’s “So Sick” for a local singing competition in Stratford, in which he placed second. Mallette posted a video of the performance on YouTube 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.

In the same year, Bieber busked shows in front of the Avon Theatre steps with a rented guitar during tourism season.

Personal life

Justin Bieber owns a $26 million home in Beverly Hills, California as well as a lakeside home in Ontario. 

As Bieber resides in the United States, he is reported to possess a non-immigrant O-1 visa for working status based on “extraordinary ability or achievement” in an artistic field.

Bieber has said he is not interested in obtaining U.S. citizenship, and has praised Canada as being “the best country in the world”, citing its mostly government-funded health care system as a model example. 

However, in September 2018, TMZ reported that Bieber had begun the process of becoming an American citizen, following his marriage to Hailey Baldwin.

Health

Bieber has struggled with mental health issues, particularly depression and anxiety, at various points during his career. He has generally been open about these issues. 

In his American YouTube docu-series Seasons (2020), the singer opened up about his struggles with addiction, with frequent consumption of the recreational drug lean, pills such as MDMA, and hallucinogenic mushrooms in the early stages of his career.

In January 2020, Bieber announced on his Instagram that he had been diagnosed with Lyme disease. He also revealed that he had infectious mononucleosis, which affected his neurological and overall health.

In February 2022, it was reported that Bieber had tested positive for COVID-19, two days after embarking on his fourth concert tour, the Justice World Tour.

In June of the same year, Bieber announced that he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome type 2 and that half of his face was paralyzed.

He canceled and postponed concerts and appearances due to the condition, but returned to live performances in late July.

In September, two days after the first concert in Latin America as part of the Rock in Rio festival, it was announced that all remaining dates of the tour would be suspended due to Bieber prioritizing his health.

In a statement shared on social media, the singer said that “After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now.
So I’m going to take a break from touring for the time being. I’m going to be OK, but I need time to rest and get better.”

Relationships

Bieber’s father, Jeremy, is a former carpenter and pro-am mixed martial artist.

In March 2014, Rolling Stone characterized Jeremy as having “split with Justin’s mom when Justin was a toddler, and wasn’t always around afterward. But he has, as of late, accepted a place of honor in his superstar son’s entourage”.

From 2008 to 2009, Bieber was in a relationship with Caitlin Beadles; the two remained friends, and Beadles attended Bieber’s wedding.

 From December 2010 to March 2018, Bieber was in an on-again, off-again relationship with singer and actress Selena Gomez.
In an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Bieber stated that some of his songs including “Sorry”, “Mark My Words”, and “What Do You Mean?” are about his relationship with Gomez.
From August to December 2016, he was linked to model Sofia Richie.

Bieber became engaged to model and longtime friend Hailey Baldwin on July 7, 2018. They had briefly dated from December 2015 to January 2016, before reconciling in June 2018.

Bieber and Baldwin reportedly obtained a marriage license in September 2018, leading to reports that they had a civil marriage.
On September 14, 2018, Baldwin said on Twitter that she and Bieber had not yet married, but deleted the tweet afterward.

On November 23, 2018, Bieber stated he was married to Baldwin. Bieber and Baldwin had an official ceremony in Bluffton, South Carolina, on September 30, 2019.
On May 9, 2024, Bieber announced through an Instagram post that he and Baldwin were expecting their first child. On August 23, 2024, they welcomed a son.

Religious beliefs

Bieber has described himself as a faithful Christian, said he communicates with God via prayer, and that “He’s the reason I’m here”.
He reflected his faith in a music video with Brandon Burke, titled “#iPledge”, in which he talks about God’s forgiveness.
Bieber was baptized on January 9, 2014, by Pentecostal pastor Carl Lentz of Hillsong Church, New York, after a born again experience.

He has described Lentz as a good friend. In 2021, he announced that he had become a member of Churchome, an evangelical church.
On July 24, 2021, Bieber led worship with Gospel singers Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes during the “Freedom Experience” at SoFi Stadium. The trio sang “The Blessing”.

When asked how he wants to raise his children, Bieber replied, “I’m a Jesus follower. When you accept Jesus, you walk with the Holy Spirit. I just want to be led by the Holy Spirit.”
Many of Bieber’s tattoos have religious significance including the medium-sized cross on his chest and a tiny cross under his eye.
Bieber also covered up the “Son of God” text tattooed on his abdomen with a large design that features two angels, gothic arches, a skeleton, and a serpent.

Opinions

Regarding sexual abstinence, Bieber told music magazine Rolling Stone in 2011, “I don’t think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them.”

He added that he does not “believe in abortion”, and that it is “like killing a baby”. When asked about the case of abortion with regard to rape, he said, “I guess I haven’t been in that position, so I wouldn’t be able to judge that.”
In 2022, amidst Roe v. Wade being overturned, both Bieber and his wife expressed disapproval, with Bieber posting on his Instagram story stating “For what it’s worth, I think women should have the choice what to do with their own bodies.”

His view on sexual orientation is quoted as “everyone’s own decision”, and he has contributed to the It Gets Better Project, a non-profit group aiming to prevent suicide among LGBT youth.

Bieber also opposed the Trump administration family separation policy, calling for Donald Trump to “also let those kids out of cages” in 2019.

In 2011, Bieber was among the list of content creators opposing Bill S.978, also known as the Commercial Felony Streaming Act, which would have made unauthorized streaming a felony instead of a misdemeanor.

He stated that the bill’s sponsor, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar, “needs to be locked up, put away in cuffs!” While the bill did not ultimately pass, it was later reintroduced by Senator Thom Tillis as the Protecting Lawful Streaming Act,
It was signed into law by then-President Donald Trump in December 2020 as part of the omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.

Philanthropy

Justin Bieber supports Pencils of Promise, a charity founded by Adam Braun, the younger brother of Bieber’s manager.
The organization builds schools in developing countries, and Bieber became manager for the organization’s campaign in Guatemala.
He serves as a celebrity spokesman for the organization by running ads for the charity and its campaign “Schools4All”.

He promises to visit schools that donate the most funds to the organization.

In September 2017, Bieber donated $25,000 to the American Red Cross to help people in Texas after the severe destruction caused by Hurricane Harvey.

On February 7, 2020, Bieber donated $100,000 to Julie Coker, a 22-year-old fan who works in mental health awareness.

Coker revealed that her own past struggles with mental health motivated her to work for mental health.
She praised Bieber by saying, “[Bieber] has a big following, so if he has a good message about mental health, hopefully everybody else . . . will want to start thinking about mental health in a different way.”

In February 2020, Bieber made a donation to Beijing Chunmiao Children Aid Foundation in China to support COVID-19 relief.

Bieber and Ariana Grande collaborated on the single “Stuck With U”, released in May 2020 as the first of a series of singles coordinated by Scooter Braun, who is also Bieber’s manager, to support the COVID-19 pandemic.

All net proceeds from the song went to the First Responders Children’s Foundation to fund grants and scholarships for children of first responders and health care workers who worked on the front lines during the pandemic.

By August 2021, the single had raised over $3,500,000. In September 2020, Bieber and Chance the Rapper announced that they’ve partnered with Cash App and will donate $250,000 to fans who are struggling during the pandemic.

In March 2021, Bieber visited the California State Prison in Los Angeles County along with his wife Hailey and pastor Judah Smith at the invitation of Scott Budnick.
Bieber met with inmates involved in The Urban Ministry Institute and expressed support for Budnick’s Anti-Recidivism Coalition.

During the visit, Bieber committed to provide buses to transport relatives of the inmates who have been unable to see them due to the COVID-19 pandemic in California.
Bieber described his visit to the prison as a “life-changing experience that I will never forget”.

Legal issues and controversies

Bieber had several run-ins with the law around the world before his first arrest in 2014, including when he was accused of reckless driving in his neighborhood in 2012, and charged in Brazil with vandalism in 2013.
One of his neighbors in Calabasas, California, accused Bieber of throwing eggs at his home on January 9, 2014, and causing thousands of dollars of damage.

On January 23, 2014, Bieber was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida, together with singer Khalil, on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI), driving with an over-six-month-expired license, and resisting arrest without violence.
Police said that Bieber told authorities he had consumed alcohol, smoked marijuana, and taken prescription drugs.
He was released from these charges on a $2,500 bond. A toxicology report revealed that Bieber had THC (a principal constituent of cannabis) and the anti-anxiety medication Xanax in his system at the time of his arrest.

In January 2021, he reflected on this event, describing it as “not [his] finest hour” and encouraging fans to “let the forgiveness of Jesus take over and watch your life blossom into all that God has designed you to be.”

Following Bieber’s arrest on the DUI charge, more than 270,000 people petitioned the White House seeking to have him deported from the United States.
Although the number of signatures received was sufficient to require a response under published White House guidelines, the Obama administration declined substantive comment on the petition.

Immigration Law expert Harlan York noted that the likelihood of Bieber being deported was extremely slim.

York stated, “About a decade ago, the Supreme Court ruled that driving under the influence, typically, is not a basis to deport someone.”

In April 2013, Bieber was criticized for writing a message in the guestbook at the Anne Frank House which read, “Truly inspiring to be able to come here.
Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber.”

After the message was posted on the museum’s Facebook page, Bieber received widespread criticism on social media for perceived insensitivity and narcissism.

The Anne Frank House defended Bieber, stating, “He’s 19. It’s a crazy life he’s living, he didn’t mean bad … He was very interested in the story of Anne Frank and stayed for over an hour.
We hope that his visit will inspire his fans to learn more about her life and hopefully read the diary.”

In June 2014, a video emerged of a 15-year-old Bieber telling a joke about black people, which used the word “nigger” multiple times.
In the same month, a second video showed a 15-year-old Bieber giggling as he croons his song “One Less Lonely Girl”,

But parodying the main lyric as “One less lonely nigger”, and stating that if he were to kill one, he would be “part of the KKK”.

He apologized the day the latter was released: “Facing my mistakes from years ago has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever dealt with.”

On July 9, 2014, Bieber was charged with one misdemeanor count of vandalism in California for throwing eggs at his Calabasas neighbor’s home in January.

Police earlier claimed that they had video footage of him high-fiving friends after the eggs were thrown. With him pleading no contest to the charge, the Los Angeles County Superior Court sentenced him on July 9 to pay $80,900 in restitution,

Serve two years’ probation, complete 12 weeks of anger management, and five days of community service in what the district attorney termed a negotiated settlement.
Since then, he has permanently moved to Beverly Hills, California.

On August 13, 2014, the January DUI case was settled with a plea bargain; Bieber pleaded guilty to resisting an officer without violence and a lesser charge of driving without due care and attention.
He was fined US$500 and sentenced to attend a 12-hour anger management course and a program that teaches the impact of drunken driving on victims.
As part of the plea bargain, he made a US$50,000 contribution to Our Kids, a local children’s charity.

On September 1, 2014, Bieber was arrested and charged with assault and dangerous driving near his hometown of Stratford, Ontario, after a collision between a minivan and Bieber’s all-terrain vehicle on August 29.
Ontario police said that he then “engaged in a physical altercation” with an occupant of the minivan. He was released shortly and his lawyer blamed the incident on “the unwelcome presence of paparazzi”.

On September 8, Toronto dropped an assault charge against him originally brought up on January 29 for an incident with a limousine driver in December 2013.

In November 2014, he was ordered to appear in Argentina within 60 days by a Buenos Aires court to give testimony on an alleged assault on a photographer on November 9, 2013.

When he failed to do so, an arrest warrant was issued and two of his bodyguards were released in Argentina in April 2015.

I didn’t want to come off arrogant or conceited, or basically how I’ve been acting the past year, year and a half … although what’s happened in the past has happened, I just want to … be kind and loving and gentle and soft.

—Bieber reflects in a video posted in January 2015

In July 2017, the Chinese government banned Bieber from performing in China. A Chinese Bieber fan contacted the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture requesting the reason for the ban.

The Bureau released a statement, explaining “Justin Bieber is a gifted singer, but he is also a controversial young foreign singer”,
And “In order to maintain order in the Chinese market and purify the Chinese performance environment, it is not suitable to bring in badly behaved entertainers.”

In 2021, Chinese streaming sites Youku, iQIYI, and Tencent Video removed Bieber’s scenes in Friends: The Reunion donning Ross Geller’s iconic “Spudnik” costume.

In June 2020, Bieber was accused of sexual assault by a woman known pseudonymously as “Danielle”,

Who claimed on Twitter that the singer had engaged in non-consensual sexual acts at a Four Seasons hotel in Austin, Texas, in March 2014 while with then-girlfriend Selena Gomez.
In a series of tweets, Bieber denied all allegations, stating that sexual abuse “is something I don’t take lightly” and provided evidence that he was not at the Four Seasons at the time of the alleged incident.

Artistry

Influences

Justin Bieber has cited Chris Brown, Craig David, Michael Jackson, the Beatles, Boyz II Men, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder, Tupac, Usher and Kanye West as his musical inspirations.

In 2012, Bieber said, “music is music, and I’m definitely influenced by Michael Jackson and Boyz II Men and people who were black artists—that’s what I like.”

Believe was influenced by Timberlake, for which Bieber was trying to “create a new sound that people aren’t really used to hearing … like when Timberlake did FutureSex/LoveSounds: It was a new sound… acoustic guitar over hard drums.”

In 2019, Bieber called Chris Brown the “best entertainer of all time”.

 

Musical style

Bieber incorporates a variety of genres in his music, focusing mainly on pop, R&B, and occasionally dance-pop or EDM.
In 2010, Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone asserted that the content of his music was “offering a gentle introduction to the mysteries and heartaches of adolescence: songs flushed with romance but notably free of sex itself”.
During the initial years of his career, his musical style was noted for being aimed at a more teen pop and “bubblegum-ish” direction.

In January 2012, Bieber told V magazine: “I want to do it at my own pace. I don’t want to start singing about things like sex, drugs and swearing.

I’m into love, and maybe I’ll get more into making love when I’m older. But I want to be someone who is respected by everybody.”

But since then, Bieber gradually altered his artistry, with Peter Gicas of E! Online described “PYD” as “sexed-up”,
While In Touch Weekly magazine said that his song with Maejor Ali and Juicy J “Lolly” might make his fans a bit uncomfortable because of its lyrics that refer to oral sex.

In 2015 Bieber released the EDM-fuelled album, Purpose, where he collaborated with Skrillex, and explored serious themes such as “life experiences”, through “feel-good music”.

Voice

Bieber initially sang with a boy soprano voice, before his voice broke, as was evidenced during the debut performance of “Pray” at the 2010 American Music Awards.
Sean Michaels of The Guardian described puberty as “the biggest threat to his career” at the time.
Jody Rosen commented that Bieber sings with “swing and rhythmic dexterity” on his debut album, noting his tone to be “nasal”.

Bieber started to receive voice coaching from Jan Smith in 2008.

As an adult singer, Bieber’s voice type is tenor, with a vocal range spanning from the baritone A2 to the high tenor F5.

In a review of his Purpose album, Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph complimented his “soft, supple and seductive singing”.

Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian also praised Bieber’s “affectedly breathy voice”, noting that “the voice soon palls, but the songs are often interesting.”
Reviewing his 2021 album Justice, Pitchfork commented: “Bieber is not a powerhouse vocalist, but he is a compelling one, casually dropping in a stray yodel here, a Mariah Carey-indebted set of runs there.
His voice has a palatable smoothness; he’s mastered push-and-pull dynamics, and he swings effortlessly from a placid chest voice to a zephyr of a falsetto.”
