Austin Mahone thanks mother for encouraging his education

Heartthrob Austin Mahone has opened up about his education and what inspired him to stay in school in a new interview. 

During a one-hour live telecast for 'Think It Up', the 'Dirty Work' hitmaker confessed that his mother definitely encouraged him to hit the books and to graduate from high school, which is something he is very grateful for now:

"I spent half of my school years being in public school and then half home school. So my mom definitely inspired me to finish high school and get out there."

Mahone, who recently split from girlfriend Becky G, opened up about wanting to enjoy the single life for a while and he told 'Watch What Happens Live' that he is excited for this new-found romantic freedom: "I am single... I'm looking to play the field a little bit."
