Shawn Mendes

Hailed by Billboard as "Music's First Vine Star" and TIME Magazine as one of the
"Most Influential Teens Of 2014", singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes has emerged
from teen viral sensation to major best-selling status almost overnight. Soon after
artist manager Andrew Gertler discovered & introduced Mendes to now-label
Island Records in early 2014, Shawn's debut single "Life Of The Party" broke
records, topping the iTunes Charts and selling over 150,000 copies in its first
week due to his legions of fans. The success of the song made Shawn the
youngest ever artist to break into the Billboard Hot 100's Top 25 with a debut
single. Then, just a month later, Mendes released his self-titled debut EP, which
also hit the #1 spot on iTunes once again, and entered at #5 on the Billboard
album charts, showing the staying power of the young artist. Now fresh off of his
sold out first headline tour dates, and soon to be embarking on Taylor Swift's
1989 World Tour as well as releasing his debut album "Handwritten" in 2015,
Shawn has quickly become one of music's most promising young stars.
