All For Mahomies: 23 Adorable Pictures of Austin Mahone

VOTE FOR AUSTIN AS THE BREAKOUT ARTIST OF 2013!

There's an ancient saying: "Once a Mahomie, always a Mahomie." Maybe it's only a couple of years old, but that doesn't mean it's not true.

Deemed "the second coming of Justin Bieber," 16-year-old Austin Mahone got his start by posting videos on YouTube and being really cute. His loyal fan base (the aforementioned "Mahomies") has vaulted him solidly into the Billboard pop charts. "Say You're Just a Friend" won three straight weeks in our Pop-Off song battle, so we thought we'd give the Mahomies a little reward (in the form of 23 swoon-worthy pictures of the man himself).

Austin is a lucky dude to be rollin' with Mahomies. —Samantha Martin
