Justin Bieber is a Candian born recording artist who has made a huge impact on the American pop music scene in a very short amount of time.

Justin Bieber's debut album 'My World' was released on November 17, 2009 featuring his four biggest hits: 'One Less Lonely Girl,' 'Baby,' 'One Time' and 'Favorite Girl'.

Since his debut album release, Justin Bieber has performed for President and First Lady Obama, serenaded Selena Gomez on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, caused thousands of teenage girls to riot at a mall where he was scheduled to appear and sung the opening line in 'We Are the World 25 for Haiti'.

Justin Bieber's second album, 'My World 2.0' is scheduled to be released March 23, 2010.  Bieber was signed to Usher's 'So So Def' records in 1998 after being discovered from a series of his amateur performances his mother posted on YouTube.

Justin Bieber turns 16 on March 1, 2010.
