Birthday: March 1, 1994
Birthplace: Stratford, Ontario, Canada
Listen to 16-year-old singing phenomenon Justin Bieber and you’ll realize he is light years ahead of other pop singers his age. Justin's first release, My World, went platinum and gave him the highest debut by a new artist. Justin was also the first artist to chart seven songs from a debut on Billboard's Hot 100!
It's hard to imagine Justin Bieber without his legion of screaming fans, but Justin had a humble start. After posting dozens of homemade videos on YouTube in 2007, putting his unique spin on songs from artists like Usher, Ne-Yo and Stevie Wonder, Justin racked up over 10,000,000 views on his own.

But the Canadian native who grew up an only child says he sort of started singing by accident when he entered a singing competition called Stratford Idol. The other contestants had been taking singing lessons and had vocal coaches while he was just singing around the house. He was only 12 and he won second place.
That’s when Justin started posting footage online. He put videos of himself singing on YouTube, mainly to share with friends and family. But as it turned out, other people were watching those videos and started subscribing to them. One of those people would eventually become Justin’s manager.
