Chart-topping pop R&B artist Austin Mahone is set to return to Manila on Oct. 22 to stage a concert at the New Frontier Theater.
The much anticipated one-night-only show in the Philippines next month follows a series of sold-out concerts in Madrid, Osaka, Yokohama, Guangzhou, and Shanghai.
In 2011, Mahone started posting YouTube videos of himself performing song covers by artists such as Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, and Jason Mraz. The viral content created an impact significant enough to land him a high-profile deal with Cash Money Records, the label home of Drake andLil Wayne.
Mahone subsequently released his first single ”11:11,” followed by ”Say Somethin’” and ”Say You’re Just A Friend. “This unblemished hit streak lead him to debut on the road as the opening act for Taylor Swift’s Red Tour and headline a series of major shows for MTV’s Artist To Watch.
The Secret, Mahone’s first EP, soared to No. 5 on the Billboard 200, along with crowd favorites ”All I Ever Need” and ”Mmm Yeah” featuring Pitbullwhich reached No. 2 on the iTunes Chart and Top 20 on the Billboard Pop Songs Chart.
His immediate rise to pop stardom earned Austin a number of accolades, including an MTV Video Music Award, MTV Europe Music Award, iHeartRadio Music Award, Radio Disney Music Award, Teen Choice Award, and Young Hollywood Award. As of today, he has amassed a solid online following over 30 million followers strong across all social media platforms.
Earlier this year, the 23-year-old singer-songwriter introduced this brand-new sound with the retro track ”Why Don’t We” penned by Charlie Puth. The instant bop easily accumulated more than seven million streams on Spotify. In June, Austin followed it up with the fresh summer anthem ”Dancing With Nobody” produced by Ian Kirkpatrick (Dua Lipa) and written by Sam Martin (Maroon 5) and Lindy Robbins (Demi Lovato).
