Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in
1994 in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, to a single mother,
Bieber took second place in a local talent competition at a
young age. After his mother posted YouTube clips of her
boy performing, Bieber went from an unknown, untrained
singer to a budding superstar with a big-time record deal
with Usher within two years. Bieber went on to become the
first solo artist to have four singles enter the Top 40 before
the release of a debut album. His 2009 album My World has
gone platinum in several countries. He later experienced
significant media exposure from offensive activity.
Nonetheless, the singer made his comeback in 2015 with his
first No. 1 song, "What Do You Mean?" His 2017
collaboration with Luis Fonsi, “Despacito,” broke the all-
time record for most consecutive weeks at the number one

dominated world of the music business, and helped put
together a studio band that accentuated the budding star's
hip style. Friend Stephen Bray, a musician in her band,
wrote her first hit, "Everybody," and Madonna used her
brash business style to get the recordings to New York

Janis Joplin
Born on January 19, 1943, in Port Arthur, Texas, Janis
Joplin developed a love of music at an early age, but her
career didn't take off until she joined the band Big Brother
and the Holding Company in 1966. Their 1968
album, Cheap Thrills, was a huge hit. However, friction

inspired vocals, Joplin released her first solo effort, I Got
Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!, in 1969. The album
received mixed reviews, but her second
project, Pearl (1971), released after Joplin's death, was a
huge success. The singer died of an accidental overdose on

Paul MacCartney
Paul McCartney was born June 18, 1942, in Liverpool,
England. His work as a singer/songwriter with the Beatles in
the 1960s helped transform popular music into a creative,
highly commercial art form, with an uncanny ability to
blend the two. He is also one of the most popular solo
performers of all time, in terms of both sales of his
recordings and attendance at his concerts. His mother was
a maternity nurse, and his father a cotton salesman and
jazz pianist with a local band. The young McCartney was
raised in a traditional working-class family, much the same
as his future fellow Beatles Ringo Starr and George
Harrison. Tragically, when McCartney was only 14 years
old, his mother died of complications after a mastectomy.
His future bandmate, John Lennon, also lost his mother at
a young age—a connection that would create a close bond
between the two musicians.

herself in St. Louis's R&B scene, spending much of her time
at Club Manhattan. It was there, in 1956, that she met rock-
and-roll pioneer Ike Turner, who often played at the club with
the Kings of Rhythm. Soon Turner was performing with the
