One of America's fastest rising star just turned 18 and Austin Mahone got a new album and summer tour as a gift. What a lucky kid! Most teenagers will ask for money and a grand party for their birthday, but the young heartthrob wanted his own album and a tour so he can share his talent to his fans.

The YouTube sensation thanked his fans and said in an official statement: "This is for my Mahomie!" Austin added, "Thank you for supporting me and sticking with me all this time. I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate my birthday than to be able to announce new music and a huge tour for all you guys!"

Austin Mahone's new album is entitled The Secret, which will be released on May 27. Having been raised by a single mom, the teenager never thought he will make it this big. His YouTube page already has more than a million subscribers. He started out covering songs just like Justin Bieber's Mistletoe and now he is currently working with the Canadian superstar and other big names in the music industry.

The Texan-born singer won MTV's Artists to Watch in 2013 and was chosen to perform as an opening act to Taylor Swift's Red Tour. Aside from a promising music career, Austin also has a bright future in modeling. Rapper Lil Wayne got the singer to become the Teen Ambassador for his clothing line Trukfit. Austin also did commercials for Hot Nuts and McDonald's.

Austin collaborated with Pitbull in his latest single Mmm Yeah, which is also included in his debut album. He impressed the audience of the Kids' Choice Award just a few days ago with his energetic performance of his new song.

The 18-year old pop singer was seen going in and out of the recording studio with Justin Bieber so we're pretty sure his album will be a huge hit. Austin Mahone's new album The Secret will be released on May 27 while his Summer Tour will kick off on July 25.
