For those who don’t recognize his name yet, Shawn Mendes is a 15 year-old, Canadian singer/ student at our former high school which is so weird who found fame through both his vine and youtube accounts. While hailing from a city outside of Toronto and gaining a following from an online platform is a story that sounds all too familiar to some, a la Bieber Fever, his upcoming single and EP will give audiences the opportunity to see why he won’t just be another Biebs.
Just yesterday, Mendes’ interview with Billboard was published, making the major announcement that he had signed a record deal with Island Records - news that Mendes was obviously thrilled to share, and his loyal followers (who don’t appear to have a title just yet —- may we suggest Menders? Mendonites? …. Mendearies? Okay, we’re done) were all ecstatic to hear.
Mendes is only at the start of his career, but saying his future in the music industry looks bright seems like a bit of an understatement.
