"It's been a lot of work, but I mean my fans are the reason I'm here, so I've got to give it up to them," said the 18-year-old, who got his start on YouTube. He went on to play several tunes including "MMM Yeah" and "What About Love?"

Mahone has already worked with Pitbull for "MMM Yeah," and says he'd like to work with Drake next. "It's exciting!" Mahone said of his trajectory and the fan reaction. "I love it. I love it."
