Justin Bieber celebrates 5th anniversary of YouTube discovery

There’s no disputing the fact that Justin Bieber is an incredible talent, but without the world of YouTube and social networking sites, fans may have never gotten to know one of the biggest singers on the planet.

Bieber started a YouTube channel called ‘Kidrauhl’ five years ago where he would post videos of himself singing.  His now manager, Scooter Braun, discovered the videos and arranged for Bieber to meet up with Usher and the rest is history.

Yesterday marked the five year anniversary of Bieber creating the YouTube channel that completely changed his life.  Justin posted a message on his Twitter account commemorating the day, saying;

“5 years ago today i started this youtube channel and you all changed my life. thank you. #AlwaysKidrauhl
