Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Whether it’s a soundtrack, a score or a song placement, there are countless wrong ways to do music for film and so few ways to make it feel right. There’s very little leeway, which is why it can be so challenging for even the most successful hitmakers to make the transition to film music — especially with a major film event like “Barbie.” With albums and songs by Amy Winehouse, Adele, Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney, Bruno Mars and many others under his belt, seven-time Grammy-winning producer Mark Ronson is one of the most successful pop songwriter-producers working today, yet his work on the soundtrack to Greta Gerwig’s summer blockbuster “Barbie” film — for which he co-wrote and co-produced five songs, cowrote the score with longtime collaborator Andrew Wyatt, and served as an executive music producer — was a new experience.
Justin Bieber’s Ups and Downs With Mom Pattie Mallette and Dad Jeremy Bieber Through the Years
01.07.2023 - 16:23 / usmagazine.com
Justin Bieber has had periods of closeness — and times of estrangement — with his mom, Pattie Mallette, and dad, Jeremy Bieber.
The “Yummy” singer was born in March 1994 in Toronto, Canada, where he was primarily raised by Mallette — then a teen mom who struggled financially.
“As a single mother [I sometimes said], ‘I have no idea how I’m going to feed Justin,’” Mallette told Canadian Christian talk show 100 Huntley Street in 2008.
While the “Baby” artist has insisted that his dad was in his life as a child, Justin told Billboard in 2015 that Jeremy “left for like a year when I was about 4, went to British Columbia, came back on Father’s Day,” Justin added: “I remember my mom said, ‘If you’re going to be here, you have to be here.’”
After skyrocketing to fame in 2009, Justin’s relationship with his parents waxed and waned in the spotlight, with the singer admitting to Billboard in 2015 that after years of headline-making behavior, he “never wanted my mom to be disappointed in me and I knew she was.”
Keep scrolling to see Justin’s ups and downs with his parents over the years — and where they stand now:
Both Mallette and Justin have been honest about their struggles during his childhood. Mallette even wrote a book about her journey as a single teen mom, called Nowhere But Up: The Story of Justin Bieber’s Mom.
“I grew up with not a lot of money,” Justin later told The New York Times. “We never owned a house.”
As Justin honed his talent for music — as well as a variety of sports — he earned enough money busking on the streets of Stratford, Ontario, to take Mallette, who always supported his interests, to Disney World.
“Growing up, I actually used to busk on the street. I’d play my guitar, sing, and people would throw money in the
