It’s extremely important just to keep things positive and happy as much as we can. After that, quickly, Republic Records, and then Atlantic Records, Sony Records and Warner Bros. Island Records was the first record label to acknowledge me.

True friends are never forgotten, they live within our hearts and souls forever and always, dancing on our stage of memories. I’d rather sleep on the bus than in the hotel because I sleep way better on tour buses. I’m always upset about not doing things as good as I think I could have, because I care. I could not skate, and I just kept falling on my butt, and it was very embarrassing. That sounds like an older person thing to say, but I’m too busy and – not in a bad way – don’t want to waste my time. If I don’t have cereal on the bus, I’m going to be really upset. You don’t have to be afraid because we’re all the same. ~ Shawn Mendes.Īn empty coffee cup is sometimes just as beautiful as a full one. I feel like more than ever people just wanna hear real stuff in music and in life in general. I don’t want to get on stage and just be another act. I miss how big the world seemed to be when I was younger. I think the world is becoming a place where younger and younger people can do great things and I just hope I can inspire other young people to do the same. I like to think of ‘Illuminate’ as the mature version of the previous one, a year older, more experience. I feel like every time I write a song, it feels like the first time I wrote a song. I have a thing where if I’m not in control, I feel the whole world is about to collapse. My first Vine I really just posted out of spontaneity. My advice to anyone with a dream is to never stop pursuing it. Shawn Mendes is a singer and songwriter from Canada.
