Justin Bieber World#1
Bieber was born on March 1, 1994, in London, Ontario and was raised in Stratford, Ontario.
Bieber's mother, Pattie Mallette, was 18 years old when she became
pregnant with her son. Mallette, who worked a series of low-paying
office jobs, raised Bieber as a single mother in low-income housing.
Bieber maintains contact with his father, Jeremy Bieber, who married
another woman and had two children. Bieber's paternal great-grandfather was a German immigrant to Canada. During his childhood, Bieber was interested in hockey, soccer, and chess; he often kept his musical aspirations to himself. As he grew up, Bieber taught himself to play the piano, drums, guitar, and trumpet. In early 2007, when he was twelve, Bieber sang Ne-Yo's "So Sick" for a local singing competition in Stratford and 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.
