Shawn Peter Raul Mendes (born August 8, 1998) is a [[CanadaEh Canadian]] [[SingerSongwriter singer-songwriter]]. Mendes first became noticed thanks to his music on social media platform Vine. Not long afterwards, he was signed to his first record deal. Mendes' first hit single was "Life of the Party", which debuted at #24 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, making him the youngest artist to ever debut in the top 25 (he was 15). His first full-length album, ''Handwritten'', was released the next spring. It produced the smash crossover hit "Stitches", which hit #4 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the pop airplay chart.

His third, self-titled album was released in 2018, spawning the hit "In My Blood" and netting him his first two Grammy nominations- all while still under 21.

* MrFanservice: [[ShirtlessScene Shirtless]] in his video for "Treat You Better" for seemingly no other reason than to show off the fact he has abs. He also is in a [[SexySoakedShirt wet shirt]] during "Mercy". He's also done more than a few shirtless shoots for various magazines. Also in the summer of 2018 where his live VMA performance of "In My Blood" ended in him getting soaked to the point where his already tight and sleeveless white shirt became totally see through. Needless to say, it garnered a lot of attention. He's massively turned this UpToEleven since 2019 with various half-naked photoshoots, the videos for singles such as "Senorita", "Wonder" and "Summer Of Love" all of which display his body gratuitously.

* VocalEvolution: Conpare his first single, "Life of the Party", to "In My Blood". Justified, as puberty probably helped him there.
