This is ridiculous. For the past two hours, I have been watching YouTube videos of the music world's newest star, Justin Bieber. He is only 15 years old and his single "One Time" is on the top 10 most downloaded songs on Itunes.
This kid has got so much talent and how was he discovered? YouTube.
YouTube has always been the medium for that funny keyboarding cat video or hilarious homemade animations. Justin Bieber has shown all aspiring musicians that the social media giant, YouTube is a new way they can get their music out to the public. Justin's rise to fame started when his mom started posting videos of him on YouTube to show his extended family and friends. Little did she know that posting these videos would result in a wildfire through the social media world. His videos racked up over 10,000,000 views simply from people commenting and spreading his name through word of mouth.
Justin's hit cover YouTube video of Chris Brown's "With You" has 12,559,672 views as of this moment. Chris Brown has watched the video, and he personally called Justin to tell him that he did an amazing cover. He is now signed with Usher under the Island Records label.
Other artists are seeing Justin's success as a reality now. YouTube is flooded with aspiring artists posting videos; thus, this social media being a primary and important public relations technique.
Check out his videos and songs on YouTube that is what I'll be doing now.
