Julio Iglesias

You probably know who Enrique Iglesias is, though you should not sleep on his father Julio! Like his son, he is a wonderful singer-songwriter as well. Hailing from Madrid, the older Iglesias has recorded songs in 14 languages, sold over 250 million records, and won many accolades. He earned international renown with his Latin pop songs, but his list of talents does not end there. When he was younger, he took up law and played pro football! Although he was doing well as an athlete, he got into a car accident that put a stop to his sports career. The incident led him to study the guitar to regain some dexterity. And as they say, the rest is history.

Justin Bieber

Are you old enough to remember when Justin Bieber was just starting out? He caught everyone’s attention after Scooter Braun discovered his YouTube videos. In 2008, he signed onto RBMG and it was not long before he released his debut EP. The full-length album came out in 2010 and everyone began singing to his hit song, “Baby”. He has come a long way from the long-haired adolescent we knew back then and earned a bit of a bad boy reputation. He has since won numerous awards, came out with four albums, appeared on the big screen, and threw the tabloids into frenzy multiple times.
