Justin Bieber is a Canadian pop artist who rose to global fame as a teenager after being discovered on YouTube in 2008 by talent manager Scooter Braun. His debut releases established him as a teen pop phenomenon, and he has since evolved into one of the best-selling music artists of all time, spanning pop, R&B, and dance-pop across six studio albums. Over the course of his career he transitioned from a performer working primarily with outside songwriters to a genuine collaborator who holds meaningful co-writing credits on his more mature work.
Justin Bieber's songwriting involvement has grown considerably over his career — his early albums leaned heavily on professional songwriters, but by Purpose (2015) and Justice (2021) he held co-writing credits on a meaningful portion of his tracks. He is not primarily a songwriter, but he is more than a pure performer, sitting in the Co-Performer to Collaborator range depending on the album era.
