Neon Limelight recently interviewed Justin Bieber and he shared the story of his rise to notoriety via YouTube and the chance meeting of Usher who appears in the music video of his debut single “One Time” which was certified platinum in Canada and gold in the U.S.

I started singing when I was about 12. Actually, I was in a singing competition and I got second place. I was in the singing competition and my friends and family that couldn’t make it wanted to be there but they couldn’t, so my mom and I posted videos of the competition on YouTube for them to see and I guess it just blew up. I started to get like a million views — it was just crazy.

Then my manager contacted me, flew me out to Atlanta where I met Usher totally randomly. Usher was going to the studio the same time as me and I ran up to him as fast as I could. I was like, “Usher, Usher! I love your songs! You want me to sing you one?” He gets so many people every day asking him [if they can] sing for him and give him their demo, so I didn’t get to sing for him. But a week later, Usher got to look at my videos and he flew me back to Atlanta where I met him again and got to sing for him and I guess the rest is history. I’m signed with Usher now.
