He’s the first artist ever to have seven songs from his debut album chart on the Billboard Top 100. He had both Usher and Justin Timberlake clamoring to sign him, and after signing with Usher’s label, now counts the superstar as a close personal friend. He has performed for U.S President Obama and worked with Ludacris, Kanye West and Miley Cyrus amongst others. Oh, and he’s only 17 years old. 

He is of course, Justin Bieber, and his story is nothing short of amazing¬–especially when you consider that he really only started singing three years ago. In fact, it was someone else’s belief in the youngster’s talent which alerted Justin Bieber himself to the fact that he might have a little something extra to offer. In 2007, merely a couple of years before tickets for Justin Bieber tour dates became worth their weight in gold, the boy star entered a local talent content in his native Ontario, Canada. Competing against peers who, unlike himself, were vocally trained and preened for the stage, Justin Bieber beat the odds, showcasing a natural talent which was impressive enough to win him second place overall. And thus, a seed was planted. 

Wanting to share his success with friends and family, the would-be teen superstar posted video from the competition on YouTube. Encouraged by the enthusiasm of those in his inner circles, Justin Bieber followed up with additional videos of himself singing covers of well-known songs by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Ne-Yo and Usher. In 2008, he was officially signed to Island Records and just three years later, Justin Bieber tour dates are now amongst the most anticipated events on the pop music calendar. 

His fan base reaches to all four corners of the globe, which means that the Justin Bieber concert schedule is a hectic one. However, he has youth on his side, which may also explain why in his ‘spare time’, when he isn’t busy with those much sought after Justin Bieber tour dates, the young heartthrob chooses not to take it easy. Rather, he likes to explore performance of another variety. In 2010, he guest-starred in the season premiere of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Of his meteoric rise to fame, he says, “I’m looking forward to influencing others in a positive way. My message is you can do anything if you just put your mind to it.” 

In an effort to share that message with people the world over, Justin Bieber tour dates will be taking the young megastar everywhere from the U.S and U.K, to Europe and Asia.
