Who is Madison Beer and how old is she?
Madison Beer was born on March 5, 1999 and is 18 years old.
She was raised in Jericho, New York and grew up dreaming of singing stardom, learning guitar, piano and drums along the way.
"I have honestly been singing since I came out of the womb," she said. "When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I'd say 'I already am what I want to be: a singer'."
She began posting YouTube cover songs to YouTube in 2012 including a version of Etta James' At Last, which caught the eye of Justin Bieber.
Now she's signed to a record label and working on her debut album.
However, she told NKD magazine that just because Justin discovered it didn't mean she hadn't worked hard for her success: "It was a very slow process. I was still working up to a level of fame, and it didn't happen overnight. I might have been 12 or 13 but I was totally blown away that I had Justin Bieber's recognition all over social media."
How did Justin Bieber discover Madison Beer?
Justin Bieber saw Madison's cover version of At Last on YouTube in 2012, and posted the clip to his Twitter account, which currently boasts 98 million followers.
He captioned the clip: "Wow. 13 years old! She can sing. Great job. #GreatJob."
Madison had been in the middle of a maths class when she found out her YouTube video had hit 1,000 views and admitted to "freaking out" when she realised it was all thanks to Justin.
"I had a full-on panic attack. I kid you not, I started convulsing. He still is, but he was my hardcore idol that I adored," she told Marie Claire.
Justin was so impressed by Madison's voice that he signed her to his record label and she became his official protégé.
"We have very similar personalities, Justin and I, so we hit it off immediately," Madison has said.
"We became really good friends and been close ever since. He's such a great guy and I'm so blessed to have someone as powerful and as awesome as he is involved in my career."
Has Madison Beer dated Justin Bieber?
Although Madison enjoys a close friendship with Justin, she has laughed off the idea it could ever blossom into romance.
"Oh my god, no never. I just almost died [thinking about it]. No, not ever, ever, ever, ever, ever," she told The Zach Sang Show.
"He's like a big brother so never!"
Justin does, however, dish out relationship advice, with Madison telling Hollywood Life: "I go to him a lot because I know he had a – what – five-year relationship with Selena [Gomez] so I know he knows a lot about that stuff because they were both really young when they started dating."

What happened between Madison Beer and Jack Gilinksy?
Madison's relationship with now-ex-boyfriend, musician Jack Gilinsky, made headlines in 2017 when he was accused of being verbally abusive towards her in a leaked audio recording.
After the clip was posted online, Jack issued a lengthy apology via Twitter, telling fans: "There is no justifying the words that came out of my mouth in that audio file. In no way do I stand behind who I was in that part of my life, but people change and learn from their mistakes."
He added that the clip had been recorded more than a year before it surfaced on the internet, saying: "I was in a very dark place and clearly had no control over my emotions.
"It's painful for me because most people think that this clip is current and is an accurate representation of where Madison and I stand today, when that is far from the truth.
"Like any couple, Mad & I have had our fair share of ups & downs, this clip specifically being one of our lowest points.
"Madison knew if she didn't help me overcome my ways and change, no one would, & I would never learn from my mistakes. I'll never be able to thank her enough for believing in me the way she did during that time."
Madison, meanwhile, said in response to the clip: "Many of you asking me 'Why would you stay with him if it happened last year! My theory was, and as horrible as this is, is that if I left him, he'd do it to the next girl. I tried to fix him."
"If someone is mistreating you in any way, please speak up. It is never okay and I was blinded by love. Don't make the same mistakes I did, your safety is never worth it. No matter what, no one deserves to be treated that way."
