Shawn Mendes, who learnt playing guitar from YouTube, rose to fame in 2013 when he started posting song covers on Vine, a video sharing application. Andrew Gertler, who is the manager of Shawn, heard about his song ‘Say Something’. Soon, he realised the potential of Shawn and later in 2014, he got signed with Island Records in 2014.
Well, he released the first single Life Of The Party in 2014, with that he become the youngest to debut in top 25 on US Billboard Hot 100. After the popularity of the first song, his second single Something Big released in November 2014 itself.

Taking about the documentary, it has been directed brilliantly by Grant Singer. All the fans of Shawn or music lovers must watch this documentary atleast once. The old footages of Shawn used in this documentary will make you nostalgic. Even if you are not a fan of Shawn, you might end up liking him after watching this documentary. His passion for singing and hardwork has made him a star for youth.
One thing I realised, Shawn is a kind of emotional human being who has his own bundle of happiness and fears. There is a scene in the documentary, where Shawn’s voice wasn’t good as it got rough and he apologised audience for it. In the backstage, he was upset as he couldn’t gave the best entertainment what the audience came for. He did cried when few of his shows got cancelled due to his voice problem and he updated fans about it at the last moment.
Recently, I saw a documentary on Blackpink, which was also a hard hitting and emotional. This will always make you understand that success doesn’t come that easy and these artists give years of practise in order to to become something in life.
