Canadian teen heart throb Justin Beiber is to donate part of the earning from the sale of his new Christmas album “under the mistletoe” to charity. He is the first artist from universal studios to donate earnings to charity.
Proceeds from the sale of the album which will be released on November 1 will benefit charities such as Make a Wish Foundation and Pencils of Promise, though no amount has been determined.
“Under the Mistletoe” includes collaborations with Boyz to men and Mariah Carey among many others and will include a “super festive” version of Mariah Carey classic “All I Want for Christmas”.
The album will also have Beiber rapping with Busta Rymes and says:
“I guess I can be pretty versatile – being able to do country music and put out a record of me rapping on the Internet,” he said. “I just think that with the Internet, not a lot of artists can be taken seriously if they try to change lanes and so I made it kind of apparent at first that I love to do everything and people kind of take me seriously when I switch over, so I’m really lucky to be able to have that.”
