"I'd either check Billboard or iTunes Top 10 for the hottest songs, and I'd record my own versions," the 16 year-old explains. "That's how people began to find me online."
They found him in droves too. The subscriber, comment, and follower numbers snowballed as Mahone interacted with his audience directly.
"While I was in Chicago for a birthday party, I decided to do a little meet and greet," he recalls. "I tweeted for everyone to meet at The Bean. I thought there would be ten fans. A thousand showed up, and the cops had to shut it down. That was the moment when everything changed."
Since then, Mahone has come a long way from La Vernia—a town outside of San Antonio as he puts it, "with no Movie Theater or bowling alley". By 2012, he'd garnered 1.8 million Facebook fans, 1.5 million Twitter followers, 545k YouTube subscribers, and notched over 96 million views without a record label, marketing team, or any standard industry machinery. After quickly selling 100k downloads of his infectious song "11:11" independently, he had become a veritable phenomenon. However, he could back everything up on stage too. Selling out high-profile shows at the Best Buy Theater Times Square in New York and Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles, he landed on Live! With Kelly & Michael, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, E! News and VH1, while appearing in The Wall Street Journal, The Hollywood Reporter, and more.
Everything is set to change again with the release of his forthcoming full-length debut for Chase Records and Republic Records. The first official single, "Say You're Just a Friend" featuring Flo Rida, updates the Biz Markie classic with a fiery, fresh, and fun little twist. Mahone's impressive vocal delivery pulsates over a big dance floor groove just before Flo Rida drops a sizzling verse. It's an immediately irresistible anthem.
"I want to make upbeat pop that you can party to," says Mahone. "I've always been a huge fan of Flo Rida, and I thought it'd be cool to get him on this track. It's about being friends with a girl that you like more than just a friend. You can't tell her though because it might ruin that friendship. It's something a lot of people can relate to. We had a blast with it though."
With a 2013 tour with Taylor Swift on the horizon and more music coming, everybody is about to have a blast along with Mahone though—especially the countless "Mahomies" worldwide who have fallen for him. "I hope everyone can connect with the songs and love them," he concludes. "I want to make music that people can listen to over and over again and feel good about."

Banga banga, lemme get it
How you make it shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot
You're so automatic
Can't none of them see you
Five stars going off on 'em baby
I love how you flex
You're a problem, girl, gotta get you
Ain't no waitin' with it
The one you came here with
Tell that boy forget it
Too faded's what to tell him
'Cause I got him next
You don't need no explanation
Let him see and figure it out
Your eyes are telling that you're riding with me
But I'd be lyin' if I did admit it
The things I wanna say to you right here
I didn't said it but I just can't say it 'til I said it
You're a banga banga banga banga banga
I wanna pledge a bet
Before the night is over
Girl, I'm gonna make it that
So, promise if I make you mine
So, promise if I make you mine
You ain't gonna play with that
Show me where that turnt up at
You're a banga banga banga banga banga
I wanna pledge a bet
Before the night is over
Girl, I'm gonna make it that
So, promise if I make you mine
So, promise if I make you mine
You ain't gonna play with that

You like ridin', don't ya?
(You ain't gonna play with that, show me where that turnt up at)

Formal introduction
You got me focused, now it's time for you to show me something
You're like a trophy on my dash
A diamond that you are
Love to see you shining like a proper superstar
Got me asthmatic
'Cause you're like a perfect ballerina
I'm on my Brad Pitt, come and be my future Angelina
(Now you know enough to get it)
Baby, if you let me love you, I ain't never gonna stop
You're a banga banga banga banga banga
I wanna pledge a bet
Before the night is over
Girl, I'm gonna make it that
So, promise if I make you mine

@maze OLD & YOUTH, from psychiatric pharmacy, keep, dear souls, far away.
You want real help for you soul? - then look up into the heavens and cry ABBA FATHER.
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Psalms 55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
Psalms 18:3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Psalms 116:13
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
1 Chronicles 16:8
Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
Psalms 105:1
O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
Psalms 14:4
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
Every time we are after rich and fame, these questions should we ask from ourselves:
Mark 8:36
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Luke 9:25
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
Matthew 16:26
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Ecclesiastes 1:3
What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
If one listens some of the interview of the celebs, then they all have admitted that they become vessels for demonic spirits and that they serve baphomet. It all comes down to these 2 questions: have we eyes which see and ears which hear or are our eyes and ears closed?
The devil hides in the details, and the details are to be seen and heard.
