Early life
Bieber was born on March 1, 1994, in London, Ontario, at St Joseph's Hospital,[13] and was raised in Stratford, Ontario.[14] He is the only child of Jeremy Jack Bieber and Patricia "Pattie" Mallette. Bieber's parents were never married.[15] Pattie raised her son with the help of her mother, Diane, and stepfather, Bruce.[16] His mother is of French-Canadian descent; his paternal great-grandfather was of German ancestry, and his other roots are English and Irish.[17][18][19] He has also stated that he believes that he has some undetermined Aboriginal Canadian ancestry.[20]Through Jeremy, Bieber has two younger half-siblings, Jazmyn (born 2009) and Jaxon (born 2010).[21] Pattie worked a series of low-paying office jobs, raising Bieber as a single mother in low-income housing. Bieber has maintained contact with his father.[22]
Bieber attended a French-language immersion elementary school in Stratford, the Jeanne Sauvé Catholic School.[16] Growing up, he learned to play the piano, drums, guitar, and trumpet.[14][23] He graduated from high school in Stratford, Ontario, the St. Michael Catholic Secondary School in 2012[24] with a 4,0 GPA.[25] In early 2007, aged 12, Bieber sang Ne-Yo's "So Sick" for a local singing competition in Stratford and was placed second.[23][26] Mallette posted a video of the performance on YouTube for their family and friends to see. She continued to upload videos of Bieber singing covers of various R&B songs, and Bieber's popularity on the site grew.[27]

Bieber was soon signed to Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG), a joint venture between Braun and Usher.[29] Justin Timberlake was also reportedly in the running to sign Bieber but lost the bidding war to Usher.[29][30] Usher then sought assistance in finding a label home for the artist from then manager Chris Hicks, who helped engineer an audition with his contact L.A. Reid of The Island Def Jam Music Group.[31] Reid signed Bieber to Island Records in October 2008 (resulting in a joint venture between RBMG and Island Records) and appointed Hicks as executive Vice-President of Def Jam, where he could manage Bieber's career at the label.[2][27][29][31] Bieber then moved to Atlanta with his mother to pursue further work with Braun and Usher.[29] Braun became Bieber's manager in 2008.[27]
