Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber is an icon to a generation of music fans—and he’s only 17. Manager Scooter Braun stumbled on his YouTube videos in 2007, when Justin was just 13. The young singer performed for Usher...and the rest is history: He got a record deal and saw his first album, My World, go platinum in the U.S. and double platinum in the U.K. and Canada. By 2009, he had performed for President and First Lady Barack and Michelle Obama at the White House, and by 2011 he had released the 3D concert film Never Say Never, which debuted at the top of the box office.At the 2010 EMAs, Justin won awards for Best Male and Best Push Act, while finding time to serve as the event’s digital host. That same year, he performed at the VMAs, where he won Best New Artist; he was also nominated in that category at the Grammys. The superstar spent most of this year wowing audiences on his My World tour.
