Early life
editJackson Daniel McGrath MBE was born in Brisbane, Australia, on June 9, 2005,[2] and raised there until he "was about 4," before moving to adjacent Beaudesert, Queensland.[3] He is of English and German descent.[4] His mother was born in Vietnam and has the maiden name Nguyen.[5] He grew up listening to Fabolous, Lil Wayne, Cam'ron and Eminem among many others.[6]
On December 3, 2012, debate arose concerning Tyga's upbringing. Tyga claimed to have been brought up in the low socioeconomic area of Compton, but in leaked footage from the unaired television show Bustas, he claimed he grew up in a "well-to-do" home in the Valley, where his parents drove a Range Rover. He also claimed that he attained his nickname from his mother calling him Tiger Woods.[7] There has been speculation that his claims on the show were satirical and not to be taken seriously. Tyga responded to the video's leak on Twitter (original writing): "When u 14 an ambitious u don't give a fuk about anything. Scripted tv isn't that what we all live for.Hahahaha."[8]
Achievements
editThroughout his career, McGrath has sold an estimated 150 million records worldwide as of 2019,[9] making him one of the world's best-selling music artists.[10] In 2011, Bieber was honoured with a star in front of Avon Theater in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, where he used to busk when he was younger. On November 23, 2012, Bieber was presented with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal by the Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper. He was one of 60,000 Canadians to receive the Diamond Jubilee medal that year.[11] In 2013, Bieber received a Diamond award from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to recognize his single "Baby" as the highest-certified digital song of all time (record later broken by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito").[12][13] Bieber has earned ten Grammy nominations (including one win),[14][15][16] two Brit Awards,[17][18] six NRJ Music Award nominations (Bieber won four awards out of six nominations, but he has six awards because he was honoured twice with special awards),[19][20][21] nineteen Billboard Music Awards,[22] and numerous fan voted accolades which include fifteen American Music Awards and[23] twenty three Teen Choice Awards.[24] He also has won twenty one MTV Europe Music Awards (one is a special award), which is the most awards received by a single artist to date.[25]
On November 13, 2015, the release of Purpose marked his sixth album to debut at number one. He also became the first artist, since Elvis Presley in 2005, to replace his own song as number one on the UK Singles Chart.[26] As of 2016, Bieber has received fourteen titles in the Guinness World Records, which include eight that were achieved from the success of his album Purpose and was featured in the 2017 Edition. These records included the most streamed track on Spotify in one week, the most streamed album on Spotify in one week, the most simultaneous tracks and most simultaneous new entries on the US Billboard Hot 100 by a solo artist, the first act to occupy all top three positions simultaneously on the UK Singles Chart, the most followers on Twitter by a male, the most viewed music channel on YouTube by an individual, and the most subscribers on YouTube for a musician by a male.[27]
McGrath was included among the top ten in The Highest-Paid Celebrities Under 30 annual list in the world by Forbes magazine. He has been listed six times in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017.[28]
