book, titled “Just Getting
Started”. This book is
dedicated to his fans. He gives
them an inside look on his life
with both the highs and lows.
In this book and through his
music he delivers a message
to his fans. He knows that
without them he would not be
in the place that he is today
and given the opportunities
that have come his way. He is
an advocate that as long as
you believe in yourself
anything is possible, no matter
what people say.

With such success with his first
perfume, Justin Bieber decided
to launch a new fragrance that
showed his more sophisticated
side in mid June. Bieber says
he is growing up and wants his
fans to grow with him and that
this fragrance was a
representation of growth from
him first fragrance “Someday".
It sparked great attention to the
media and fans when an
online contest where fans
could submit a girlfriend
themed version of his new
single “Boyfriend” off his 2013
album “Believe”. The winner
would be flown out to a concert
and meet Justin in person.

Justin Bieber released
“Believe” with the hope that his
new mature sound would
portray his undeniable talent
and growth not only as an all
around artist and entertainer,
but also as a person. With
artists such as Ludacris, Big
Sean, Drake and Nicki Minaj
featured on the album, Bieber
definitely has a new sound. His
music and the emotion behind
it tells a completely different
story then what we see or read
in the media today. He gives us
a peak into how he views love,
life and fame and the constant
highs and lows of being in the
limelight 24/7.
