Justin Bieber

My hero is Justin Bieber. A hero is someone who inspires you in a way that not many others can. Justin Bieber is my hero because he started off as just a regular boy living in Canada. He posted videos on YouTube in hopes that someone who could make him famous would see them. Eventually, when someone did see his videos, he became one of the best male singers.

Justin was born on March 1, 1994. As a child, Justin Bieber grew up in Stratford, Ontario. Justin was raised by his mother, Pattie Mallete. Pattie was eighteen years old when she became pregnant with Justin. She raised him as a single mother. He was interested in hockey and chess. Music was more of a side hobby for him. Justin taught himself to play the piano, drums, guitar and the trumpet.

In 2012, Justin sang Ne-Yo’s “So Sick”, for a local singing competition and came in second place. His mother, Pattie, uploaded the video of him singing at the competition on YouTube. Justin got comments from people asking him to do more songs. He continued to make more videos of him singing R&B songs. Justin’s videos had thousands of hits and comments, as his popularity grew.

In 2008, Scooter Braun came across Justin’s videos. After that, Scooter found Justin, and became his manager. He arranged for Justin to meet with Usher in Atlanta, Georgia. He got signed to Raymond Braun Media Group. He signed to a recording contract with Island Records, from L.A. Reid.

In 2010, Justin went on a world tour for his album, My World 2.0. The tour was filmed and later made into a 3D movie called, Never Say Never. The movie was a 3D documentary of his life. The film was released February 11, 2011. The cast was Justin Bieber, Usher, Miley Cyrus, Sean Kingston, Snoop Dog, Ludicrous and Boyz II Men. The movie had concerts, fans and friends. At the end, the movie showed parts of Justin’s Madison Square Garden concert, which sold out in twenty minutes. Jaden Smith rapped alongside Justin in the song Never Say Never.

My hero is Justin Drew Bieber. He is a kind and caring actor, singer and songwriter. His songs inspire me to, never say never. Someday, I hope to meet Justin Bieber. Justin started off in a small town in Canada. He is now traveling the world as one of the best male singers in many girls’ hearts.
