Bieber is apparently a big fan of Halter — he even made a surprise appearance at a recent intimate gig Halter was playing in Orange County, bringing along his current partner in crime, Selena Gomez.

“Thanks for the night. Glad we could surprise u. U r the real deal,” tweeted Justin.

“What Justin Bieber has just done for my music, is like what Usher had done for his. #dreambig,” Halter tweeted. “I hope there’s no limit on ‘thank you’ cause I can’t say it enough. @justinbieber”

Our Spidey sense is tingling that a new bromance has just begun!
