Cash Money Records continues to grow and diversify their label with new acts. A budding pop star looks to be the latest addition to YMCMB as teen sensation Austin Mahone has aligned with the home of Lil’ Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Tyga and others. The 17-year-old singer/dancer from San Antonio, Texas made a name through YouTube videos, which landed him a deal with Universal Republic. Dubbed by many as the next Justin Bieber, Mahone was an opening act on Taylor Swift’s RED tour and chosen by MTV as an artist to watch in 2013. (Miss Info TV)
