About the Author:
Justin Drew Bieber was born on March 1, 1994, in London, Ontario, and raised in Stratford, Canada, by his mother Pattie Mallette. A self‑taught multi‑instrumentalist and charismatic singer, he was discovered at age 13 through his viral YouTube videos by manager Scooter Braun, which led to a record deal with Island Def Jam and early mentorship from Usher. By age 16, his debut album My World had gone platinum, and his sophomore album My World 2.0 debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, making him the youngest solo male artist to do so since 1963. This book is his first published work, released as a youth‑focused autobiography brimming with behind‑the‑scenes tales and exclusive photos.
