Bieber's skyrocket ride to fame is a do-it-yourself fantasy come to fruition. By age 12, he had taught himself how to play the piano, drums, guitar and trumpet. He and his mother started posting his cover versions of tunes by Usher, Chris Brown, Stevie Wonder and Justin Timberlake.

In short time, a record producer saw him and flew Bieber to Atlanta, where he met with R&B singer-songwriter Usher, and sang for him in person. Soon thereafter, he met with Antonio L.A. Reid at Island Records, who signed him to Island Records in October 2008.

By late 2009, Bieber released his debut studio album, which almost instantly sold more than 1 million copies. Usher also makes a guest appearance on the album.

He has since performed for President and first lady Obama, with Steve Wonder and on "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest."
