    Now, let's get into it.
    Justin Drew Bieber, born on March 1, 1994, in London, Ontario, Canada, is a name that almost everyone has heard of, regardless of their age or musical preference. From his early days as a YouTube sensation to becoming a global pop icon, Justin Bieber's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. But like any story worth telling, it's filled with ups and downs, triumphs and tribulations.
    Justin was born to Pattie Mallette and Jeremy Bieber, who were never married and separated when Justin was quite young. Raised by his mother in low-income housing, Justin showed an early aptitude for music. He taught himself to play the piano, drums, guitar, and trumpet. But it was his singing that would eventually catapult him to stardom.
    At the age of 12, Justin entered a local singing competition in Stratford, Ontario, and although he only finished in second place, his mother uploaded a video of his performance on YouTube. This was the beginning of his journey to stardom, as his YouTube videos started gaining traction and caught the eye of talent manager Scooter Braun.
    Braun flew Justin and his mother to Atlanta, Georgia, to meet with Usher, who was immediately impressed by the young talent. After a bidding war between Usher and Justin Timberlake, Usher won, and Justin was signed to Raymond Braun Media Group, a joint venture between Braun and Usher, and then to a recording contract with Island Records offered by L.A. Reid.
    His debut EP, "My World," was released in 2009 and was certified Platinum in the United States. This was just the beginning. Albums like "My World 2.0," "Believe," and "Purpose" would follow, each one more successful than the last. Songs like "Baby," "Sorry," and "Love Yourself" have become anthems, and his collaborations with artists like Ludacris, Nicki Minaj, and Ed Sheeran have been chart-toppers.
    But Justin's journey hasn't been without its challenges. From legal troubles to public meltdowns, he has faced a lot of scrutiny and criticism. However, his resilience and ability to bounce back have been remarkable. His marriage to Hailey Baldwin in 2018 marked a new chapter in his life, and his subsequent albums, like "Changes" and "Justice," reflect a more mature and introspective artist.
    In this podcast series, we'll explore each phase of Justin Bieber's life in detail. We'll talk about his music, his influence on pop culture, his personal life, and how he's managed to stay relevant in an ever-changing music landscape.
    So, buckle up as we delve into the life of Justin Bieber, a young man who went from singing on the streets of Stratford to selling out stadiums worldwide.
