As a kid Justin Bieber had music in his blood. Since he was two he would sit, down, pick up a guitar and start playing. He loved banging on things, it didn’t matter what it was. His mom couldn’t afford a real set of drums, that wasn’t until his fifth birthday. She really just saw it as something fun, just hanging out and playing around the drums. As he got older and older he grew more into music and how it works.
Around the age of eleven Justin began to compete in competitions, it wasn’t that serious. Unfortunately some of his family members couldn’t make it, so his mom decided to make a Youtube account and post videos for family. Every now and then Pattie Mallette (mother of Justin) would post videos of Bieber singing covers from a whole bunch of artists. Little did they know that there were people watching his videos and started to request more and more songs.
His views went from hundreds, to thousands and thousands of views. Scooter Braun (future manager of Bieber) was looking through videos on Youtube, when he came along a video of Justin’s and on accident clicked it. From the first few seconds he heard, he was amazed. He watched video after video after video, and when he came along the video of Justin singing So Sick by Neyo, he knew he was the one.
After great decision he decided to call Pattie. The hard part was trying to get her to give in, she was afraid that he’d become like all the other artists. After she finally gave in, Bieber was flown to Atlanta , Georgia
Usher then arranged and audition with L.A. Reid at Island Records who in turn signed him to Island Def Jam on October 2008. Justin and his mom moved to Atlanta from Canada

Never Say Never tells about how Justin’s life all came along. The quote ‘’Never Say Never’’ is one of his favorites. As he was growing up he was told he couldn’t be famous, but he learned that any things possible and he went form ‘’Rags to Riches.’’ It also shows how his fans grew up with him and were with him through every step of the way. It really truly is an inspiring story. If anything can be dreamt it can be done. Also, the movie ''Never Say Never'' came out with a album including all the songs played or performed during the movie.
