Austin played piano when he was young, but it was very technical and he didn't care to learn from the book. It wasn't until dusting off an old guitar at his grandpa's house a few years ago that he started to experiment with music on his own. He discovered he had a unique voice and a passion for the classics. He loves '50s country, doo-wop, hymns and even drives a classic 1952 Buick Special. Now in college, he's studying business and worship arts, though he spends most of his time in the studio, church and at open mic nights. Austin loves the music he has made thus far, but he hasn't stepped out to really see if he has what it takes. "The Voice" will be Austin's first giant performance.
