A journey from social media to mainstream
The debate whether social media is a boon or a bane is still a hot topic of discuss, as few will say that it has a negative impact in the society, but I will bring out the positive element of it. In recent times we have seen a lot of young celebrities emerging from social media, one of them is Shawn Mendes. A young High school graduate started his career from social media and apps, initially he started learning guitar from YouTube Tutorial and later started uploading guitar covers in YouTube. His initial success came when he uploaded a cover of “As Long As You Love Me” on the app Vine - from there he started getting recognition, in a month he got a million followers and by 2014 he became the third most followed musician in Vine and later in 2014 itself he was spotted by Island records and he was signed with them. I believe that every thing has its negative impact but it is up to us how we are going to take it, people like Shawn Mendes took it as a serious one and got his success in a very young age.
