TEEN star Justin Bieber says he’s having a “blast” now that he’s famous and successful.

The singer — who recently celebrated his 16th birthday — has become a global sensation since signing a lucrative record deal with music superstar Usher.

Bieber signed with the Burn hitmaker after a bidding war broke between the R&B superstar and SexyBack singer Justin Timberlake.

“I entered a competition in Canada, and things just escalated,” Justin said. “Then I kept putting videos up on YouTube — I was just getting my music out there and I got something like one million hits.

“Then it went crazy with Usher and Justin Timberlake both wanting to sign me. I’m having a blast.”

Justin recently revealed that he had his first crush at the age of 13.

“My first crush was when I was 13, in my little town in Canada,” he said last month.

“You know, it was one of those little crushes you have when you’re younger. I asked her out and she said no.”
