It was a BIG night for teen heart throb Austin Mahone as he won TWO MTV EMAs, topping the winners list (alongside Eminem who also won two EMAs), with wins for Best Push artist and the inaugural MTV Artist on the Rise award.  The singer also performed on the show, making his television debut of new single, “Banga! Banga!”  Watch the performance HERE.  His single is now officially available for purchase on iTunes HERE.

“I’m so excited and so honored to have won these amazing awards,” said Austin Mahone.  “I can’t thank my Mahomies enough, this is all because of them.  They really are the most supportive group of people out there. I owe everything to the Mahomies and I’m just happy that I’m healthy and able to get back out there and give them new music and to be able to perform for them!”

The highly anticipated performance comes after Mahone’s recent hospitalization and postponement of his sold out headlining MTV Artist to Watch Presents tour. This was Mahone’s first appearance since he’s been on the mend.  And while taking special precautions to remain healthy, the singer is ready to hit the road again in full swing with the EMAs as his jump start to kick off a string of television appearances.  Next up Mahone will perform at Nickelodeon’s HALO Awards and then will make his way to NYC for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Mahone will perform his much buzzed about single “Banga! Banga!” for these apperances.  MTV raves, calling the track “Pop GOLD from start to finish.”  AOL says, “We are in LOVE with ‘Banga! Banga!’” And Idolator praises the “crazily catchy chorus.”
