" Say hello to Austin Mahone; a 16-year-old singer who, like so many these days, was discovered by singing other people&amp;#039;s songs on YouTube. In fact, his rendition of Justin Bieber&amp;#039;s festive hit &amp;#039;Mistletoe&amp;#039; became more popular than the original, which eventually led to him signing a record deal with Universal.  With his latest single &amp;#039;Say Something&amp;#039; out now and an EP following in December, Digital Spy phoned up the rising star to get ourselves better acquainted.  Your Twitter page this morning says that you&amp;#039;re jet-lagged... are you feeling okay? &amp;quot;Yeah, I&amp;#039;m very tired. I woke up at 3am and couldn&amp;#039;t get back to sleep.&amp;quot;  You also mentioned the food in your hotel was bad... &amp;quot;Oh it was terrible! I think it was the bacon, American bacon is very different to London bacon.&amp;quot;  Is this your first time in London? &amp;quot;It is! I saw Buckingham Palace today, which was pretty big. I haven&amp;#039;t seen much yet, but I like it so far. We&amp;#039;re going on a little tour tomorrow.&amp;quot;  You have a huge fanbase online, but is it nice to actually come over and see the UK fans you&amp;#039;ve already acquired? &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s very exciting to leave the US for a bit. I love travelling, so it should be a lot of fun. The British fans are very intense, maybe even more so than fans in the US! They&amp;#039;re great.&amp;quot;  Watch Austin Mahone&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Say Something&amp;#039; video below:      Where are you off to next? &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m off to Germany next. I&amp;#039;ve never been there - or even outside the US - so it&amp;#039;s going to be weird dealing with the language barrier. I guess I&amp;#039;ll just smile politely and see what happens.&amp;quot; You&amp;#039;re still 16. What about school? &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m home-schooled now. Which is pretty easy. It&amp;#039;s easier than public school so it&amp;#039;s great. Although I was doing some algebra yesterday, which is my worst subject.&amp;quot; You&amp;#039;ve got a new single called &amp;#039;Say Something&amp;#039; and you&amp;#039;re releasing an EP soon. What do the other songs sound like? &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re all in a similar vein - different but fit within a particular sound. Of the two songs I&amp;#039;ve put out so far, one is more urban and one is more pop. I&amp;#039;d say they&amp;#039;re the extremes. It&amp;#039;s out in December and then the album is going to come out in March or April next year.&amp;quot; How&amp;#039;s the album coming along? &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s going great, but we&amp;#039;ve still got quite a long way to go. We&amp;#039;ve got a new song coming out in a couple of weeks with a big feature, which I&amp;#039;m quite excited about. I&amp;#039;m actually really excited about it, I think it&amp;#039;s going to be huge.&amp;quot; Can you tell us more about it? &amp;quot;Sorry, I can&amp;#039;t. You&amp;#039;ll have to wait and see!&amp;quot;  Are you a fan of One Direction? &amp;quot;I think they&amp;#039;re cool. I haven&amp;#039;t met them on the circuit, but I&amp;#039;m a fan. Their songs are great and energetic.&amp;quot;  Are you a fan of Austin Mahone? Leave your comments in the box below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
