Austin mahone

Musically, I actually grew up listening to country music as a kid, like George Strait, Alan Jackson... all those guys. So it was kind of weird crossing over from that to pop and R&B, but you know,...

It's been amazing getting to go from city to city and perform for thousands of people. It's an amazing feeling, and the energy is crazy.

I think it's important to update my fans on what I'm doing and where I'm going next and when my next single is going to drop and my album.

I told my fans online how I hated my squeaky office chair. One day, a fan sent me a new chair. It was crazy! I still use the chair today. Pretty awesome.

I think that it's important to have good people around you, like my friends.

I would go on the iTunes chart and see the hottest songs, then I'd cover them. People would go on YouTube and search for those songs. That's how I got my views. I'd post two or three songs a week.

I love fashion. I like looking fresh and wearing new stuff.

I do a lot of co-writing with my producer RedOne, and then a lot on my own. I just like to be creative.

The British fans are very intense, maybe even more so than fans in the U.S.! They're great.

When I'm 18, I can finally order that paid programming stuff on TV. Like it always says, 'Must be 18 or older to call,' so I'll be able to call! I can finally buy some blenders from the TV.
