Mendes went on to become the 3rd most followed musician on Vine. He won Best Cover Song in 2014 and signed with Island records a few months later. His first single ‘Life of the Party’ was released shortly thereafter and he was the youngest person to debut in the top 25 of Billboard’s Top 100. 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. Mendes collaborated with the charity DoSomething.org to launch Notes From Shawn to address self-esteem issues. 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. Mendes has tens of millions of followers on social media. He is 6 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs about 175 lbs.
