Career[]
2008-2009: My World[]
MIDI Mafia had never heard of Bieber before getting on a call with Scooter Braun. They only agreed to help because of Bieber’s Canadian background, something the young singer and Dirty Swift had in common. “Everyone was like, ‘Why are you working with this 14-year-old kid? His voice is changing, it’s never going to come out.’ We were like, we don’t give a f–k, he’s Canadian. We have to do this.” In the studio, Swift helped set up Bieber’s Twitter account yezir. MIDI Mafia created nine songs in total in four or five days, setting the “direction” of the project.
“Everybody was making all these bulls––t-ass kid records,” the producer now says. “We gave him real songs. They were older than him, but young enough to sing. Records like ‘Bigger,’ records like ‘Overboard.’”[1]
