Happy 15th Birthday to Johnny Orlando!

See 15 of our fave vids, as we track his inspiring journey from cute kid to singing superstar

It’s crazy to think that Johnny just celebrated the six-year-anniversary of the first cover video he ever uploaded to YouTube! Over the past several years, he’s worked so hard to go from adorable kid trying out a new hobby to one of pop’s most promising young stars. He’s also one of the nicest people in the entire world, and we’re so proud and honored to call him a friend!

In honor of Johnny’s 15th birthday, we’re taking you through his musical journey with 15 of our favorite videos.

1. Johnny was only eight years old when he posted this cover of Justin Bieber’s holiday hit “Mistletoe.”

2. Just three months later, Johnny totally upped the production value on his rendition of JB’s “Boyfriend.”

3. Snapbacks became one of Johnny’s signature style accessories – here, he put his own spin on “Diamonds” by Rihanna:

4. In August 2013, Johnny ditched the hat and enlisted the help of his friends for his cover of 1D’s “Best Song Ever,” which would become his most successful vid yet:

5. Johnny’s March 2014 cover of Pharrell’s “Happy” made us, well, happy!

9. We had to have him come to YSBnow for an interview, where he told us about how he got started on YouTube:

10. A month later, he released the single, “Let Go” and Entertainment Tonight called him the next Justin Bieber!

11. Johnny joined the #YSBnowBoysOfSummer cover shoot, which also featured Jacob Sartorius and Carson Lueders.
