Austin Mahone Tour Dates

Bio

It's becoming more common for the next generation of musicians to be discovered on Myspace and Youtube, but one that stands out from the rest is Austin Mahone. While comparisons between the 15 year old Texas native and Justin Bieber have been made, Austin is actually a huge fan of Justin's and his first few YouTube hits were covers of "Never Say Never" and "One Time." Austin Mahone's melodic, ranging voice transfers well between pop, hip hop, and country, and his raw talent is paving the way for an extremely promising career.

If you haven't yet heard of Austin Mahone, chances are you've already seen him on YouTube: That's him with the sweet voice, backwards hat, and pukka shell necklace. Austin uploaded his first video on YouTube, a cover of Justin Bieber's "Never Say Never", in 2010 which was quickly followed by his rendition of Chris Brown's "With You." While the singer said he is greatly inspired by both Bieber and Brown, his vocal range and teen heartthrob persona have set him apart from his idols, and his potential has caused many to believe that he could surpass them.

In addition to star quality vocals, the artist is also getting pretty good at the guitar and piano, as seen in recent videos. While thousands of Mahomies are eagerly waiting for Austin Mahone to be signed to a label, they are watching new YouTube videos, chatting with Austin on Ustream, and following his Twitter. Austin Mahone hasn't performed a proper concert yet, but you can bet that when he does it will be the start of an excellent career.
