Madison Beer rose to fame in 2012 after Justin Bieber tweeted a video of the then-13-year-old singer covering Etta James’ song “At Last.”

Now 21 years old, Beer is set to release her debut studio album in 2020 with Epic Records.

And though she has more than 20 million Instagram followers watching her every move, there’s plenty that people probably don’t know about the New York native.

From her favorite book to her childhood nickname, here are 20 facts that you probably didn’t know about Beer.

She was discovered by Justin Bieber when she was 13.

The “Holy” singer tweeted a video of Beer, then 13, singing a cover of Etta James’ song “At Last.”

“wow. 13 years old! she can sing. great job.#futurestar,” Bieber wrote in July 2012.

After the pop star drew attention to Beer, her name began trending on Twitter. She signed with Island Def Jam Records and was managed by Scooter Braun.

During a 2017 interview with Billboard, she revealed that there was actually more to the story than Bieber stumbling upon her YouTube video.

Beer’s mom Tracie posted the cover on her Facebook page. One of her Facebook friends watched the video and sent it to Braun, Bieber’s manager. Braun then showed the video to the “Sorry” singer, who tweeted it out to his 25 million followers.

“It was like a train of people seeing it and then it making its way to him,” she said.

Bieber made a cameo in Beer’s first music video for her song “Melodies.”

Her label dropped her when she was 16.

After signing with Island Records, Beer was encouraged to stick to the pop genre, she told Rolling Stone. When she pushed back against their vision, the label dropped her before she released her first full album.

“I was always told, ‘Well, one day when you’re older, you’ll be able to make that stuff,’ ” she told the magazine. “But then I realized that I don’t need to be older to do it.”

The TV shows, movies, and projects laid out for Beer were scrapped, she explained during a 2019 interview with BUILD.

“It took me getting my dreams and then having them, honestly, all ripped away from me to put me where I am now. I don’t think I would be as artistic. I literally had everything taken away from me,” she said.

Beer explained that “everyone left” and “gave up” on her after the label dropped her except for her mom, who managed the singer on her own for two years.

In 2019, Beer signed with Epic Records.

She’s friends with celebrities like Drake, Hailey Bieber, and Selena Gomez.

Since breaking into the entertainment industry, Beer has formed friendships with various Hollywood celebrities

She celebrated her 19th birthday with friends like Presley Gerber and Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin), who is now married to Justin Bieber.

“I’ve known Hailey since I was 11-years-old living in New York. I don’t know, I just look at them as normal people,” she told The Sun.

Beer is also friends with Selena Gomez, who used to date the “Yummy” singer. Gomez defended Beer after fans insulted the “Selfish” singer for being friends with both Hailey and Gomez.

“I have known Madison since she was a baby and watched her continue to become the woman she is. There is no issue,” Gomez reportedly wrote to fans.

Beer has also been spotted spending time with Drake and attended his New Year’s Eve party in 2019.

Beer grew up in Long Island but moved to Los Angeles for her career.

Beer, along with her mom and younger brother, moved from Long Island to Los Angeles to pursue her music career when she was 13.

She was homeschooled from seventh to 12th grade.

Though she’s lived in California since, the musician said she’s not “the biggest fan” of Los Angeles.

“I’m very open and honest and I speak my mind a lot. I’m such an accurate representation of New York, but in LA a lot of the times I get misconstrued and people think I’m obnoxious or annoying but they really just don’t understand I’m genuinely just a loud-mouth New Yorker,” she told Paper.

She continued: “So I feel like that’s why a lot of people don’t really understand me and that could be why I have issues in LA.”

Her dream role would be a murderer in a horror film.
