Justin began attending therapy and turning to his faith. “I just changed my priorities so that I didn’t [become] another statistic of young musicians that ended up, like, not making it,” he told the magazine, later adding, “There was a time where I really did have my identity wrapped up in my career, but I really do have an overflow of feeling like my purpose is to use my music to inspire.”
He also credits his wife, Hailey Bieber, with providing support. “One thing that has been so helpful is my wife is so by the book,” he added. “She’s so structured and routine and so responsible.”
Now, Justin is redefining the way he looks at success. “At this point,” he said, “I’ve reached a level of success so many times that I know success isn’t a be-all, end-all to my happiness.”
