His first full-length album came out in 2015 and went platinum. Mendes appeared on Time magazine’s list of Most Influential Teens of 2014, ’15 and ’16 and Forbes’ 30 Under 30 2016 Music. He has been nominated for multiple Grammies and won many awards, including 11 from MTV Europe and 8 from iHeartRadio. He is a brand ambassador and model for Emporio Armani and Calvin Klein.

He also worked with a not-for-profit to improve education in the developing world and donated $100,000 to Mexico for earthquake relief in 2017.
