One Less Lonely Girl
Justin was 12 years old when he entered a local singing competition in Stratford, placing in second. He taught himself how to play the piano, drums, guitar, and trumpet. In late 2007 Justin and his mother began posting videos on YouTube so that his family and friends that could not attend his performances would be able to view them, posting cover versions of songs by artists such as Usher, Stevie Wonder, Ne-Yo, Justin Timberlake and Michael Jackson. He was soon approached by a Toronto-based company called Rapid Discovery Media, who assisted him in running his YouTube and MySpace accounts, producing, editing and promoting his videos.] After posting his rendition of Chris Brown's With You Brown personally called Justin and congratulated him on his YouTube recognition
Scooter Braun, a former marketing executive of So So Def, discovered his videos, and flew Justin to Atlanta, Georgia where he met with R&B singer/songwriter Usher. A week later Justin had the opportunity to sing for Usher who immediately became greatly interested, giving him an audition with Antonio L.A. Reid at Island Records who signed him to Island Records in October 2008. Justin Timberlake was reportedly in the running to sign Justin, but he eventually signed with Usher.
