Justin’s Childhood
Justin Bieber was born in Ontario, Canada on March 14, 1994 to parents Pattie and Jeremy Bieber. Sadly, his parents divorced when Justin was very young and he went to live with his mom. It was rough but he learned to cope. “I think a lot of kids have parents split up”, says Justin, “and they should know that it wasn’t because of something they did.” Despite the early rough patches and not having much money, Justin had a happy childhood. He loved sports (especially hockey!) and hanging with his buds.

Discovered as a musical talent at the young age of 15, it’s not surprising that his passion for music was evident early on. “My mom bought me my first drum set when I was 4 because I was banging on everything around the house, even couches. I picked up the guitar when I was 6 and taught myself to play, but I really didn’t start singing until I was 10.”
