Justin Bieber is currently signed to Def Jam Recordings, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group. He first signed with the label in 2008 when he was discovered by Scooter Braun and Usher Raymond IV, who helped him secure his initial record deal.

Before joining Def Jam, Bieber was briefly associated with Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG), a joint venture between Scooter Braun and Usher. This partnership eventually led to his signing with Island Records, which later merged with Def Jam Recordings.

Throughout his career with Def Jam, Bieber has released numerous successful albums including:

• My World (2009)
• My World 2.0 (2010)
• Under the Mistletoe (2011)
• Believe (2012)
• Purpose (2015)
• Changes (2020)
• Justice (2021)

His relationship with Def Jam has been notably successful, with the label helping him transition from a teenage pop sensation to a mature artist. The partnership has resulted in multiple platinum records, Grammy Awards, and numerous chart-topping hits.

In addition to Def Jam, Bieber's music is distributed through Universal Music Group's vast network, ensuring global reach for his releases. His publishing rights are managed by Universal Music Publishing Group, another division of UMG.

It's worth noting that while Scooter Braun remained Bieber's manager for many years, the actual record deal has consistently been with Def Jam Recordings since 2008, making it one of the longest-standing artist-label relationships in contemporary pop music.

The label continues to handle Bieber's music releases, marketing, and distribution, supporting his evolution as an artist while maintaining his position as one of the world's biggest pop stars.
