Justin Drew Bieber may be a huge star here in the United States, but he actually hails from Stratford, Ontario, Canada. The fifteen year old star, who’s nickname is JBiebs has one of the most incredible stories in the entertainment world.
Bieber is very open about his background and the fact that he grew up below the poverty line. Although he may not have had as much as others, Justin is somewhat of a prodigy. He taught himself how to play the piano, drums, guitar and trumpet. And at age 12 years old, he entered a local singing contest in his hometown, and despite the fact that all of his competitors had tons of professional training, he still earned second place. After this initial start, he and his mom started posting his videos up on Youtube, and the rest is history.
