This boy dreamt of buying his mom a home after living in subsidized housing with mice & became a millionaire star

This young man grew up in Stratford, Ontario, originally from London, and developed a passion for music while watching drummers at church. Despite financial struggles, his supportive mother encouraged him, providing drumsticks for him to practice on the ground and posting his performances on YouTube.

At twelve, he placed second in a local talent competition with Ne-Yo’s “So Sick.” His musical talent blossomed, allowing him to earn nearly $3,000 from busking, which enabled his family to visit Disneyland for the first time. Reflecting on his upbringing, Justin Bieber acknowledged his happy childhood despite their financial hardships, which instilled in him a respect for money.

Justin’s talent caught the attention of Scooter Braun, a music promoter, who discovered him while searching for another YouTube artist. Impressed by Justin’s voice, Braun pursued him, eventually reaching out to his mother, Pattie.
