Justin Bieber - Baby ft. Ludacris
The Justin Bieber Biography
Justin Bieber Biography – Introduction
The Justin Bieber biography consists of the written accounts of the well – renowned Canadian pop rhythm and blues singer. According to the Justin Bieber biography, Justin Drew Bieber in real life was born on the first day of March 1994 to Jeremy Bieber and Pattie Malette in London, Ontario. As he was growing, we learned from Justin Bieber biography that he started to love music by playing different kinds of musical instruments like the piano, guitar, drums and the trumpet. During the early days of the year 2007, at twelve, Bieber rendered a version of Neyo’s popular song called So Sick and come up second in a local singing competition. As stated in the Justin Bieber biography, his mother posted his song rendition in the YouTube to be accessible to friends and relatives who were not able to see him perform live. She uploaded more videos of Bieber’s renditions of different rhythm and blues songs and from then on, Bieber became famous for his performance on the website.
The discovery of Justin Bibber’s road to stardom was quite unexpected as reported on the Justin Bieber biography. A So So Def previous marketing executive named Scooter Braun encountered Bieber while he was going through videos of a particular artist in the YouTube. Impressed with what he saw, he traced Justin Bieber through his mother. When they met in Atlanta, Georgia, Bieber started rendering songs for the famous songwriter Usher and eventually signed a contract with Raymond Braun Media Group which is both owned by Usher and Braun. These occurrences are clearly stated in the Justin Bieber biography. The company then made arrangements with the recording company Island Def Jam Music Group to let Bieber perform in auditions. Ultimately, they acquired a record deal in October of 2008. Scooter Braun then became Justin Bieber’s manager. Information from the Justin Bieber biography stated that although he was raised in Stratford, Ontario, Justin Bieber now has moved to Atlanta, Georgia with his mother. He lives in a district located uptown within the city called Buckhead. This is a suburban location oftentimes is referred to as the Beverly Hills of the South as jotted in the Justin Bieber biography.
Justin Bieber Biography - Songs Released
In the narration of Justin Bieber biography, his single entitled One Time was played out in the radio stations making it to the top 12 in its July 2009 release on the Canadian Hot 100. Then it reached to top 17 on Billboard Hot 100. Later in 2009, One Time became platinum in North America and became a gold record in the Australian continent. His debut album called My World reached platinum and silver in America and United Kingdom, respectively. According to the Justin Bieber biography, the singer endorsed his album by showing off actual performances in shows like MTV, The Ellen DeGeneres show, Good Morning America show, Chelsea Lately and other prominent television programs. He also made an appearance in True Jackson once in 2009. In the chronicles of the Justin Bieber biography, during the holiday season of 2009, Justin Bieber made quite an impression in the White House in front of the President and his better half by singing his own version of Someday at Christmas originally performed by Stevie Wonder. Through the Justin Bieber biography, he was known to have multitude of appearances, for instance, he was made a presenter in the 52nd Grammy Awards which was held early this year. Another famous song entitled Baby featuring Ludacris which is part of his inaugural album was considered a huge success making it to top five in the American billboards and one among the ten favorite songs in about seven nations. Facts from Justin Bieber biography stated that there were also other singles such as Never Let You Go and U Smile that made it to the top in Billboard 200 of America. Bieber is by far known as the protégée of Stevie Wonder who topped the chart at a young age and this is specified in the Justin Bieber biography.
Justin Bieber biography commented that he started his promotional tour called the My World Tour on the 23rd of June this year. The tour has a head start in Hartford, Connecticut as accounted on the Justin Bieber biography. He is the most sought after personality. Supported by the Justin Bieber biography, not only does he an excellent performer in the world of music, but he is also a famous teen actor. He is seen in episodes of the prominent television drama of the CBS network called CSI: Crime Scene Investigation which is out on air last September 23. As reported on Justin Bieber biography, he is also scheduled to act in a three-dimensional motion picture which will be released on February of 2011.
It was also stated in the Justin Bieber biography that his prominence has caused repercussions in terms of safety. There was an incident where his live performance had to be cancelled because the crowd went wild and became uncontrollable. Some avid fans of Bieber were slightly injured. It was also stated in the Justin Bieber biography that on that incident the manager of Bieber, Scooter Braun was imprisoned for reasons of irresponsible menace and reprehensible vexation. He was later released though. There was also another incident in Australia where the law enforcers had to revoke a concert after a stampede hurt avid fans of the performer. Justin Bieber also has been a scapegoat for harsh criticisms as noted in the Justin Bieber biography in terms of his looks, music, iconic image, constancy in the limelight and most especially his mannerisms which could be associated with femininity in nature. As was notable in the Justin Bieber biography, mischief and absurdities are most popular in the Internet to destroy such a prominent figure in the world of entertainment. There was even a time as narrated by Justin Bieber biography that there were reports in adult websites that Bieber died in a car mishap, and in another time it was disseminated that his mother was offered to pose nude on a magazine in exchange for a huge amount of money.

Toque Profundo - Viajero

El Experimento
Mi Pais
Toque Profundo, sometimes referred to as Toque, or TP, is a rock group from the Dominican Republic, the most successful of the local Dominican bands to date in the late 80s and 90s. Most of the songs were related to their native country, and some songs, like "El Jevito" and "Mi País", involved social criticism and issues within Dominican culture.

It all started in 1989 when Toque Profundo participated in the popular event "Las Olimpiadas del Rock" (English: Rock Olympics). The original lineup was: Tony Almont (vocals), Leo Susana (guitars), Osvaldo Peña (bass), Lorenzo Zayas-Bazan (keyboards) and Maximo Gomez (drums). They were the best out of 15 participating bands in the event, edging out favorites "Arcangel" by a very small margin in a legendary duel. The band slowly gained experience and acceptance from the small Dominican rock listeners in Santo Domingo.
In 1992 they released the 1st independent album named "Sueños y Pesadillas Del 3er Mundo" (Dreams and Nightmares of The 3rd World). This was the first CD ever at that time to be released independently by their own financial means.
The CD immediately became a classic and best seller in Dominican rock history. Songs like "El Bolero Del Biónico", "Amigo", and "Mandela" were hits on local Dominican radio stations shortly after the album’s release.
That same year they were nominated as "Best Rock Group" in the Cassandra Awards, a similar Dominican version of the Grammy Awards. They also were involved in the international event "Rock Sobre Las Piedras" which took place at Altos de Chavón.
Towards 1993 the young group was chosen by Dominicans to represent them in the international event "Festival De Benidorm" in Spain with the song "Dios Salve Al Viajero"(God Save The Traveler). In 1996 they released their 2nd independent album named "Moneda" (Spanish for ‘coins’, also refers to money). Bigger success resulted from this second album. Songs Like "Llorar", the long-awaited "Dios Salve Al Viajero" and "Ramona"(a playful take on Eric Clapton’s classic unplugged rendition of “Layla”), all became top #1 hits on radio. This album is considered a classic within Dominican rock culture and, at the same time, sparked the “local rock bands” evolution.
In 1999 they released The 3rd Album "Cría Cuervos" (sort of like “Breed Crows”), which became their most successful album of their career at that date. Tracks like "Botas Negras", "Liberate", and "Noche Sin Luna" also became top #1 singles. "Noche Sin Luna" later became the longest-enduring song to remain in the top #1 list on Dominican radio. "Cría Cuervos", like the two preceding albums, was an independent album showing the musical growth of the band and their ever-growing fan base in their native country and in Latin America.
Further recordings led up to the release of their 4th album, titled "Magia", in 2002. International critical acclaim has often reputed it to be their best composed, best prepared album. This album was different from its predecessors in the fact that it expanded the musical aspect and explored the band’s maturity and potential to compose and record music. Influences from other cultures were included in this recording, which gave it the best rating among the four albums of their career. This album throws in dashes of punk, afro, alternative, and guitar-based fusions, completely breaking all barriers established on previously released albums. The singles "El Viaje" and "Angel Ciego" also manage to climb the top position on radio stations in the country for several weeks.
Current TimesIn mid 2003, rumors of possible disbanding of Toque Profundo were rampant but never became official. Due to the Dominican Republic's critical economic situation TP was forced to cease concerts, and each member found themselves trying to find ways to expand their musical horizons. Around this time some members formed several project bands, and guitarist Clemente Portillo left the country to the United States to promote TP's work in New York City These efforts included a showcase in Sirius Satellite Radio, an interview in Music Choice, and several concerts in upper Manhattan.
After that mini-tour, the band ceased to be the powerhouse rock band it once was, never releasing a new track and only playing their old material. Band members started their personal projects and only play together to sell the nostalgics of better times in Dominican rock history. The band is supposedly on a long hiatus, although it's not officially clear as to whether or not the band is declared defunct.
In December 2009, Toque Profundo celebrated their 20th year anniversary in Hard Rock Cafe Santo Domingo and a few weeks leter released a new single named "El Experimento" which quickly climbed up the charts of Dominican rock stations. El Experimento marked their first release of material after the last album Magia. Concerts were held in Santo Domingo and also in New York City.
