Justin Bieber is currently signed to Def Jam Recordings, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group. He's been with the label since 2009 when he first signed his initial recording contract at just 15 years old.

The deal came about through a joint venture between Def Jam and RBMG Records (Raymond Braun Media Group), which was founded by Scooter Braun and Usher Raymond IV. This partnership played a crucial role in launching Bieber's career with his debut EP "My World" in 2009.

While Def Jam remains his primary record label, it's worth noting that Bieber's music is distributed through various Universal Music Group channels worldwide. His publishing rights are managed by Universal Music Publishing Group, ensuring his music reaches global audiences effectively.

Throughout his time with Def Jam, Bieber has released several successful albums including:

The relationship between Bieber and Def Jam has proven highly successful for both parties. Under their partnership, he has achieved numerous Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles and multiple Grammy nominations, with his first Grammy win coming in 2022 for "Peaches."

Despite occasional industry rumors about potential label changes, Justin Bieber has maintained his relationship with Def Jam Recordings, making it his recording home for over a decade. This stability has helped him evolve from a teen pop sensation to a mature, globally recognized artist.
