Hailing from the unlikeliest of places – a ranch just outside Billings, Montana – Austin’s influences are as diverse as his sound. Imagine the raw storytelling of George Strait colliding with the rhythmic energy of Migos, the stage presence of Elvis Presley infused with the lyrical heart of John Mayer, all seasoned with the classic grit of Willie Nelson. This unique blend culminates in a signature style that seamlessly weaves modern trap and urban beats with traditional instrumentation, all delivered with country lyrics and a country hip-hop flow that feels both fresh and undeniably authentic.
