SHAWN MENDESSomeone was like, ‘If you wanna be a celebrity, know that every girl you talk to is going to be your girlfriend.’ And I was like, ‘Fine. I accept that for getting to do what I love for the rest of my life.’
SHAWN MENDESDefinitely, it’s hard being a young artist and being taken seriously.
SHAWN MENDESSometimes I get more excited for shows that I know are going to be quieter because it gets me more inspired to be more of a showman and be more of an entertainer and forces me to work harder.
SHAWN MENDESYou have to work the crowd.
SHAWN MENDESYou just have to play it cool. You don’t want everyone to know you’re an amateur.
SHAWN MENDESAbsolutely, I never stop working on new music.
SHAWN MENDESSo many of my songs are based on things that either happened to me or to someone I know, but there are also ones where I’ve written a made-up story. All of them are about very real emotions, and I just find different ways to express them.
SHAWN MENDESI think the world is becoming a place where younger and younger people can do great things, and I just hope I can inspire other young people to do the same.
SHAWN MENDESI work so hard to make that sure I’m successful. If you’re positive and really excited and enthusiastic about what you’re doing, it’s going to happen, and it’s going to happen big time.
SHAWN MENDESBeing 15, I feel like people want me to go down the Justin Bieber, Cody Simpson sort of genre.
SHAWN MENDESI think anyone can do anything they dream of if they put their mind to it and put in the work.
SHAWN MENDESI started watching YouTube videos and singing, and it became something that I was obsessed with.
SHAWN MENDESSometimes when the song is right for that time period, it’s just kinda bad to let it wait, and then when you do release it eight months down the road, it’s not the same.
SHAWN MENDESI think my all time favourite song would be between ‘Slow Dancing in a Burning Room’ and ‘Dreaming with a Broken Heart’ by John Mayer.
SHAWN MENDESWhen I put that first Vine out, I was just doing it for fun; there was no wanting to become an artist.
