Over the years, ‘Justin Bieber’ has shown us a mixture of controversies, talent, and charm that many aspiring musicians don’t even believe they can replicate.

Just look at all the famous singers in our generation; wouldn’t you agree, if you learn just a little bit of success principles from ‘Justin Bieber,’ we too can join their ranks?

Think about it, ‘Justin Bieber’ has been in the public’s eye for almost a decade now. We continuously hear his name on television and on social media news stories, it makes me wonder if this was all part of the plan.
Do we really need to create compelling news-worthy events in our own lives, in order for us to become legends like our famous singers, celebrities, and role models?
This is an important question, because I see this sort of thing all the time. Like rappers putting their lives in danger for more attention from the public, or other people doing some strange things just to get news coverage.
I don’t know about you, but I like to stay reserve, so I won’t be clout-chasing (attention seeking) just to become famous.
But then again, I wonder if that’s what our mentor for today (Justin Bieber) is going to tell us.
If you are just as interested as I am, lets take a look at the marketing strategy example of ‘Justin Bieber’ and see how we to can use his lessons to become famous, successful and rich.
According to source: Britannica ‘Justin Bieber’ was born “Justin Drew Bieber” on March 1st, 1994, in London, Ontario, Canada.
Wikipedia highlights that Justin Bieber was born to Jeremy Jack Bieber (father) and Pattie Mallette (mother). Justin Bieber’s ancestry includes French-Canadian, Irish, English, Scottish and German.
Justin Bieber has three younger half-siblings on his father side and one stepsister from his stepmother (intouchweekly).
Since we are talking about the clues that played a major role in helping ‘Justin Bieber’ become famous today, I think you should know about Pattie Mallette (Justin Bieber’s mother).
Pattie Mallette (Wikipedia) born April 2, 1975, is a Canadian author, film producer, and mother of Justin Bieber. She in my opinion is a fighter, protector, and someone with foresight.
In fact, she is an honorable mention as “Woman of Action” on A Celebration of Women (A Global Advocacy Organization for true leaders).
Through her book, Nowhere But Up, Pattie Mallette recalls a life of pain, disappointments and hope. For example, she lost her older sister to a car accident, was abused at a young age several times and her father died of a heart-attack when she was 9years old (acelerationofwomen).
I guess we should say like mother like son, because Pattie Mallette loved to sing and was an exceptional one at that. According to my past studies of how our famous singers came into success, she was incorporating all the career moves that would have eventually brought her to that level of success.
Pattie was in her school’s and church’s choir, studied dance for 7 years, and had a very strong desire to become a famous singer and actress.
Around age 9 her desire to become a singer and an actress landed her on several local television programs for talented children.
She was on a local television program called Romper Room and Big Top Talent. She has played in two theatrical productions in the Stratford Shakespeare Festival which is usually watched by half a million tourists every year (acelerationofwomen).
Unfortunately, as Pattie Mallette would later get signed to a Toronto-based talent agent, her dreams came to an end.
Due to the long commute to the talent agency, which was one-and-a-half hours every weekend, her parents were unable to make that commitment (Wikipedia).
This was definitely a bad time for Pattie Mallette. Of course, it affected her negatively as it often is when our close dreams are taken from us. I included this story to show the motivation that led Pattie Mallette to support her young superstar ‘Justin Bieber’.
Pattie Mallette (Justin Bieber’s mother) was the first major force in cultivating his talent and marketing his talent which led to ‘Justin Bieber’ being recognized and becoming famous.
Remember, Pattie Mallette was, in her early years, a very talented musician. She had been on television shows and sang in front of millions.
She was also the one that branded ‘Justin Bieber’s’ career from the start, by creating social media profiles and uploading ‘Justin Bieber’s performances online.
Just knowing her son had the skills and the desire to pursue the same calling must have been a wonderful thing. ‘Justin Bieber’ has been quoted as saying his mom “means a lot to [him]” (Inspirational Quotes).
Respectively so, because she is known as someone that committed her time to make sure her son’s dreams are realized.
Take for example, ‘Justin Bieber’s’ ability to play multiple instruments from a very young age. ‘Justin Bieber’ can play the drums, piano, guitar, and Trumpet (Wikipedia).
The foundational skills were cultivated by his mother who for one, paid for drum lessons (The Canadian Encyclopedia). After which, ‘Justin Bieber’ learned to play the rest of the instruments on his own.
‘Justin Bieber’ also recalls playing the Guitar at an early age due to his mother already having one of her own. Pattie Mallette was a right-handed guitar player while ‘Justin Bieber’ was a lefty; this caused some issues for ‘Justin Bieber’ when he was still learning how to play (ABC news). Luckily, his mother later bought him the right guitar he needed.
If I could narrow ‘Justin Bieber’s’ rise to fame in one word; I would say it’s his ability to show ‘Value’.
In my opinion, the value ‘Justin Bieber’ showed before he had any access to fame, was the motivating factor that led major influencers within the entertainment industry to support him.
You’ve heard the story many times of how it was just plain ole luck when Scooter Braun stumbled upon ‘Justin Bieber’s’ YouTube channel. The story highlights, how his musical talent was so, outstanding, that Scooter Braun wanted to sign him right away.
It is true that ‘Justin Bieber’ is and was very talented at that time of discovery. I think in addition to that, there is other aspects we have to understand especially as we try to market our abilities.
Today, I can pretty much say, its not easy to replicate ‘Justin Bieber’s’ level of success through YouTube, because the competition is much fiercer.
Check out this interview done with Scooter Braun, so you too can understand what the motivating factors are, that makes an artist stand out.

JUSTIN BIEBER’S OFFICIAL WEBSITE
As it was with my previous case studies of famous singers and how they became famous, we have seen the same themes again with ‘Justin Bieber’.
First of all, we have seen the importance of having the best product in the market. In this case, ‘Justin Bieber’ was the product with amazing abilities. His melodic vocal technique is unique and attention grabbing for many fans all around the world.
‘Justin Bieber’ from a young age, had all the mentorship he needed from his talented mother. He would often sing with her and learn to play instruments from a very young age.
It is a fact that, at the young age, humans are able learn more deeply since the mind is growing and taking in information that will become part of the individual’s personality. For ‘Justin Bieber’, this type of tutelage from a young age is everything he needed to reach superstardom.
‘Justin Bieber’ also had a great marketing manager. In his case, that manager was his mom. She designed his social media brand and presented her son in the best light with the videos she uploaded online.
She showed her son’s value as an artist, by showing him singing in front of crowds, and winning local talent competitions.
As aspiring musicians or new singers, we also have to emulate the experience ‘Justin Bieber’ gain from performing in public.
‘Justin Bieber’ would busk in front of the Avon Theater which is scary enough for a young boy. It is also known, ‘Justin Bieber’ saved enough money from this experience to buy a vacation to Disney World with his mother (Fandom).
As far as ‘Justin Bieber’ getting noticed by Scooter Braun goes, we have seen the importance of not only marketing your talents in the right places, but also being first.
When Pattie Mallette (Justin Bieber’s mother) uploaded ‘Justin Bieber’s’ videos on YouTube, she did it around the time when there was not a lot of musicians broadcasting their talents online.
Compared to Today, YouTube is very much saturated with other competition which means an artist would really need to do something extra to get attention.
The reason most artist seek a music label to get sign, is because they are aware of their marketing prowess. Not only do they have the marketing dollars to put behind the artist, they also have the solid connections to media and other influencers to push artists in front of fans.
In the case of ‘Justin Bieber’ these are some of the marketing strategies that his manager and music labels have used. For example, look at the study done on the recent marketing campaign ‘Justin Bieber’ used to promote his upcoming album (LinkedIn).
Influencer marketing- Collabs with established artists with their own fan base is and will always be a major marketing strategy. Done right, you should be able to reach the people that like your type of music and convert them to your fans.

First of all, as we have seen, the importance of perfecting your skills is a major factor you need in order to reach superstardom.
You can learn to sing by yourself, but I would say it’s much more important you find a mentor that can guide you.
Perform in front of audiences, because you will gain the experience you will need in your future career. Plus, this is the opportunity to build relationships with fans that will support you as you try to become famous.
When you can do all these things, you are then creating and broadcasting your value for the talent you want to become famous for.
As we have seen with ‘Justin Bieber’, when you have built up your value as an artist, you are then more likely to be chosen and given the best deals with record companies.
One last thing I also want to point out, is that you have to take chances on new avenues to promote your talent.
Currently, other social media platforms are indeed saturated. This is not a major problem, because as you are reading this article, new platforms and music promotion avenues are being created. Take the leap, brand yourself, and show the world the value you have.
Those that become famous, have a value that the world recognizes and love.
