We met singing star Austin Mahone at Planet Hollywood in Manhattan recently. Make sure you watch our video, because we get to sing with Austin!
It began when I started posting videos on YouTube about two years ago with my best friend, Alex.
Once I started to get a lot of positive feedback on my videos and I started to travel, I just fell in love with performing.
I actually play four. I play guitar, piano, ukulele and drums.
13
They just help me stay humble and travel with me everywhere and, yeah, they're awesome.
I like to play basketball.
All day long.
Probably my new single, "What About Love."
In school? I'd say my worst subject is math. I'm terrible in math. Probably, like, reading or something.
Maybe Justin Timberlake.
I get my inspiration from everyday life, things that happened to me in the past or things that I would want to happen.
Music is important to me because . . . I can be creative and just be myself and get to travel everywhere and see new places. So it's really cool.
I love to cook. I cook macaroni.
Probably Olive Garden.
I would say just keep following your dreams no matter what people tell you. Always keep working hard.
I love it. Like I said before, it is my passion that I breathe and eat music. So it's everything.
It can be. Sometimes it could be easy writing your feelings down, other times it can be a little hard, but it's all about being creative.
Good question.Maybe Justin Timberlake.
Oh man, hundreds. Probably over 300. That's a lot.
Not right now. My focus right now is just music.
Yeah, it's pretty cool. Getting to see my fans and just meet new people.
I just got back from Japan and that was pretty cool. That was my first time there.
I love sports. Basketball is my favorite sport. I also played football in high school.
I'm working on my album right now which is going to come out around the fall.
Sure.
