Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber is just 15 years old but has already created a huge splash in America with his R&B influenced pop music, earning him a support slot on Taylor Swift’s recent UK tour.

Bieber will release his UK debut single One Time on January 1st 2010 with his debut album My World to follow on January 18th.

The Canadian born Bieber has built a massive global following via his YouTube channel where he started out posting his own renditions of favourite tracks by Usher, Ne-Yo and Stevie Wonder. With ten million video views under his belt Bieber began recording his own music and has since clocked up an astounding one one hundred million video views as well as 28 million streaming’s of the new single One Time.

Seven months after Bieber started posting his videos online, former So So Def marketing executive Scooter Braun flew the then 13-year old singer to Atlanta, to meet with his team, and it was there that Bieber first met his singing hero Usher.

Bieber says,  “I sang for him and his people and he really wanted to sign me then and there but I still had a meeting with Justin Timberlake who also wanted to sign me.  It turned out Usher’s deal was way better. He had L.A. Reid backing him up and Scooter had a lot of really good connections in Atlanta.  I always tease Usher now and remind him he how he blew me off the first time we met.”

The precocious pop star signed to Island Records in October 2008, to record the debut album My World, with production from star hit men like The Dream and Tricky Stewart who produced “Umbrella” for Rihanna and Beyonce’s latest smash, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).”
