From a young age, Justin Bieber had a passion for music. He discovered his love for drumming during church visits, where he would watch the drummer with awe. His musical talents expanded as he taught himself to play the piano, guitar, and trumpet while also taking drum classes.
Despite their financial struggles, Justin’s mother never stopped supporting him. She posted videos of his soulful performances on YouTube, even though they couldn’t afford drum kits. Instead, she got him drumsticks to practice on the ground. Her unwavering belief in his potential inspired Justin to keep pushing forward.
At just twelve years old, Justin entered a local talent competition and placed second with a mesmerizing rendition of Ne-Yo’s “So Sick.” His mother, determined to showcase his talent, shared the footage on YouTube for the world to see. Little did they know, this would be the turning point in Justin’s life.
