Tween idol Justin Bieber sits down for an interview with Details. Find out some secrets of this overnight singing sensation including his dream girl, personal style, and his attitude as a tween pop star!
The 15 year-old Canadian pop/R&B singer started his career at a local singing competition in Ontario when he was 12. In 2007, his mother began posting his video performances on YouTube and was soon discovered by a Toronto-based company who assisted him with producing, editing and promoting his videos. He was recognized by singer Chris Brown for his rendition of "With You."
When a former marketing executive discovered his videos, he was invited to meet R&B singer/songwriter Usher who later gave him an audition at Island Records in October 2008. Soon enough, Justin Bieber became known as Usher protégé. "One Time" and "One Less Lonely Girl" are two of his hit songs currently rocking the international scene.
What are the first songs you loved?
"God Is Bigger Than the Boogie Man' from VeggieTales. And when I was, like, 7 or 6, Boyz II Men's 'On Bended Knee.' My mom used to play the album over and over. I would go to my bedroom and try to do the vocal acrobatics."
You're single now, but you have dated, right?
"I've had girlfriends - nothing really, really serious, but I've had girlfriends. My first was when I was, like, 12 or 13. A month later, we broke up. I had that little stomach pain for a couple of days, but then I was cool. Now I'm waiting for Beyoncé to call."
Your fans show up to your shows wearing the same American Apparel hoodie you wore in your "One Time" video. Are you cultivating a style?
"I'm just a kid that wakes up like everyone else and just puts clothes on - like a hoodie and jeans and some fresh kicks, Supras or high-tops."
What's up with the mop-top hairdo?
"I think the girls like it, so I'm going to let it stick around for a while. I really don't think anyone's ever done this kind of thing with their hair: I just wake up, blow-dry it, and just shake it. And continue to shake it throughout the day."
I've heard that some of the teens flash you their bras(?)
"I mean, I don't mind it. Just kidding - it's not something that's cool for them to do. There was this one girl in Seattle - I didn't even see her - she runs at me, tries to give me a hug and tackles me. It was really aggressive and scary."
How do you feel about the whole teen-pop scene?
"I think some of it is corny, but that's just me. I just think that if you're a musical artist you should do something that appeals to all ages. I mean, I have songs that are about love, but I have songs that are about everyday life and stuff that people can relate to. When I was very young my parents split up, and that was hard on me. So I have a song that talks about that. I want to have a career, not just a hit."
