As a long-standing member of A&M Corner, I've met some incredible Mendes fans over the years. In the course of our discussions, we've talked about what makes Sergio unique. For instance, the way he plays the keyboard, or how he uses vocals as instruments. I have, however, often wondered what brought other fans into the Mendes fold?
For me, it was a matter of two parents who appreciated good music and listened to it often. Dad had an extensive reel-to-reel collection of jazz, folk and pop music to boggle the mind. Our parents, ever vigilant about exposing us to the arts, often took us to concerts featuring some of the greats of the music industry -- Mendes being one of them. I'd honestly have to say it clicked with me from birth, for it was all I knew (or cared to know) as far as music was concerned for as long as I can remember.
And so, what made you a Mendes fan? Do you remember what clicked with you? Was it a specific song or album? An appearance on TV? Hearing him on the radio?
Inquiring minds want to know!
