Born and raised in Salisbury and graduated from Carson High School… Austin’s musical roots began at the early age of 5 singing in his hometown Southern Baptist church choir. He grew up in a musical family that heavily influenced his taste for country, blues, rocknroll, motown. At the age of 15, he received his first guitar and taught himself to play without ever taking a lesson. When he moved to Charlotte in 2014 to attend UNC Charlotte he began playing in venues and bars all across the state honing his craft and cutting his teeth. In 2019 he formed his first band Seven Day Haze.
For Austin, now 27, with country music at his core, a solo country album has always been in the cards. His debut single and EP title track “Carolina” share with listeners his love for southern nostalgia, where he’s from, and how he was raised. Austin was chosen to be one of Tractor Supply’s Emerging Artists in 2023 and had his breakout debut single “Ridin’ Highways” featured during the 2023 CMT awards. He made his debut performance at the Grand Ole Opry in October 2023 with Lainey Wilson.
