Born in Toronto, Canada, Shawn rose to fame over the past year after posting cover songs to various video-sharing sites. (One high-profile booster: Ed Sheeran, who is such a big fan that he flew Shawn to L.A. so they could meet for drinks!) Shawn’s debut EP, ‘The Shawn Mendes EP’, hit number one on the iTunes charts in the US just 37 minutes—a milestone he recalls as ‘surreal’ and ‘insane’.

Shawn saw his debut single ‘Life of the Party’ vault to number one on iTunes within an hour. The single sold more than 100,000 copies in its first day and making Shawn, then 15, the youngest artist ever to crack Billboard’s Top 25 with a debut single—all without any radio play!

Now, we're getting up close and personal with the 'Something Big' starin these exclusive all-access interviews. Shawn takes us on the road with him from Paristo London to Madridto Stockholm andtalks his biggest inspiration, Ed Sheeran, stressing out over his debut album and more.
