==Career==

While searching for videos of a different singer, [[Scooter Braun]], a former marketing executive of [[So So Def]], clicked on one of Bieber's 2007 videos by accident. Impressed, Braun tracked down the theater Bieber was performing in, located Bieber's school, and finally contacted Mallette, who was reluctant because of Braun's Jewish religion; she remembered praying, "God, I gave him to you. You could send me a Christian man, a Christian label!... you don’t want this Jewish kid to be Justin’s man, do you?"<ref name = "nyimage" /> However, after praying with her church elders and receiving their encouragement, she permitted Braun to fly Bieber, then 13,<ref name = "herrera" /> to [[Atlanta]], Georgia, to record demo tapes.<ref name="nyimage"/> A week after arriving, Bieber sang for R&B singer/songwriter [[Usher (entertainer)|Usher]].<ref>{{cite web|url= http://neonlimelight.com/2009/08/11/neon-limelight-interviews-usher-protege-justin-bieber-accidental-star/ |title=Neon Limelight Interviews: Usher Protegé Justin Bieber: Accidental Star|work= Neon Limelight |author= TJ|date= August 11, 2009|accessdate= 2009-08-11}}</ref> Bieber was soon signed to [[RBMG|Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG)]], a joint venture between Braun and Usher.<ref name="coverstory"/> [[Justin Timberlake]] was also reportedly in the running to sign Bieber, but lost the bidding war to Usher.<ref name="coverstory"/><ref name="Vena">{{cite web|url = http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1621324/usher-justin-timberlake-battled-it-out-justin-bieber.jhtml | title= Usher and Justin Timberlake Battled It Out For Justin Bieber|last1= Vena|first1= Jocleyn|last2= Kos|first2= Saimon|date= September 12, 2009 | publisher = MTV | accessdate = 2011-01-11}}</ref> Usher then sought assistance in finding a label home for the artist from then manager [[Chris Hicks (record executive)|Chris Hicks]], who helped engineer an audition with his contact Antonio "L.A."

Usher comments that while he and Bieber were both signed at the same age, "I had the chance to ramp up my success, where this has happened to Bieber abruptly."
