From internet star to pop star, Shawn Mendes had the quickest rise to fame!
In a recent interview, the 20-year-old singer opened up about how he went from posting song covers on YouTube to becoming a household name almost overnight. Since being discovered when he was 15-years-old, Shawn’s life and career has gone no where but up, and at this rate it doesn’t look like he’s stopping any time soon!
From working with his heroes like John Mayer and Ed Sheeran, Shawn knows he’s living an amazing life, but according to those close to him, he’s still as grounded as ever.
“People forget how important groundwork is — physically being in every city, meeting people, like in a presidential campaign. I’ve known nothing but that since I was 15, so it’s not like I was at one time very private and now I have to be open. I’ve always been like that. I don’t find it hard or disruptive, and I think I’m OK with it — until I’m not, anyway.”
Shawn is totally living his best life. He recently teamed up with EDM DJ, Marshmello, to pull off an epic prank!
