Madison Beer discusses her early career and the moment everything changed when Island Records dropped her after she failed to achieve immediate success akin to Justin Bieber. At just 12 years old, she was signed to the label, but the pressure and high expectations ultimately led to her being let go. In an interview with Cosmopolitan, she expresses the emotional turmoil of losing her label's support and the impact it had on her life, including feelings of isolation and loss of childhood. The industryâs focus on her appearance further complicated her journey.
Everything in my life went away within 12 hours. The reason it was a thing was because Scooter had signed me, and obviously Scooter had signed Justin.
