'John Mayer has an interesting view on the world'

Los Angeles: Singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes says his mentor John Mayer is one of the most "intellectual" artistes around and he always has a unique point of view on the happenings in the world. The 19-year-old singer, who has been a longtime fan of the 'Gravity' singer, says he has a great influence on him. "The most incredible thing I learned from (him) is that no matter how much experience you have, you never are done learning," he said."He's a bada**. He's just so smart and intellectual. He has a very interesting view on the world - a view I've never heard from anyone else," Mendes told People magazine. The 'Believes' hitmaker says Mayer, 40, is a collaborative artiste and believes in pushing himself as a musician."He's always trying to learn and wants to get better; he always wants to grow with the people and not get left behind," he says. In April last year, the duo first performed together at Mayer's concert collaborating on a duet mash-up of Mendes' 'Mercy' and Mayer's 'In Your Atmosphere'.
