Austin Mahone

This first artist of the week is someone that people are calling the second coming of Justin Bieber. he goes by the name Austin Mahone. Austin Mahone who was born April 4, 1996 first starting gaining attention in 2011 when he started posting his viral videos of his performances on YouTube. His video covering Justin Bieber's "Mistletoe" which became so popular it became more popular than Justin Bieber's version. By August of 2012 Austin had announced he was signed to Chase/Universal Republic Records. Mahone's first single "11:11" charted at #19 on the Billboard Heatseekers Songs chart. His second single "Say Somethin'" did better than that of the first one and charted at #34 on the Billboard Pop Song chart In September 2011, Mahone debuted at #38 on the Billboard Social 50 chart, the youngest to appear on the list. I think that this young man will have all of the young girls screaming. So take a listen and tell me what you think. You can now follow me on twitter @starsontherise and on facebook Ona Crayton just look for the new "Stars On The Rise" logo. I look forward to hearing from you. I want to her your views on music and what you would like to see more of on my blog or even an artist I should check out for "Artist Of The Week" or "In The Spotlight"
