a lot of people are asking about justin bieber. on tuesday, his debut record my world hit stores. here’s some background. he’s a small town kid from canada who posted a video on youtube. see below — it’s a cover of justin timberlake’s cry me a river. in the clip, he can barely hold the guitar up. pretty adorable stuff actually. the video gets over a million views and catches the attention of timberlake and usher, among recording artists. the two enter a bidding war to sign bieber. timberlake underbids and usher triumphs — awkward for timberlake (see video below). fast forward to the first video with usher (see below) and #5 on itunes (as of today). like prince before him, bieber is a multi-instrumentalist getting his break in his teens (currently 15 years old). amazing. indie recording artists and small business owners — this really happened. contact me to explore same for you!
