Justin grew up in subsidized housing, surrounded by rats, with one dream—buy his mom a home. Music became his escape. He taught himself piano, guitar, and drums, while his mom supported him with whatever she could, even posting his performances on YouTube.
At 12, he placed second in a local talent show and started busking, earning enough to take his family to Disneyland. Those videos soon caught the eye of Scooter Braun, who tracked him down and gave him the chance that changed everything.
From a kid with drumsticks and a dream, Justin became one of the world’s biggest pop stars.
