A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, Tje Austin was given a gift. It wasn’t exactly the force, but the skill to tell powerful stories through his songs. This talent helped him when he recently competed on NBC’s The Voice, impressing judges CeeLo Green and Adam Levine.
Singer-songwriter (and Star Wars aficionado), Austin has the ability to intimately connect with the audience, his velvet-smooth voice melting in to the ears of his listeners.
“I like to tell stories. When I write music, it’s usually a soundtrack to whatever movie is going on in my head at the time,” Austin says, donning a Star Wars Episode IV shirt.
Austin’s style is inventive. From his sneakers to his jeans to the endless amount of hair, Austin has a unique fashion sense that’s comfortable and laid-back. It only adds to his down-to-earth and witty persona.
Austin’s favorite things to do when he’s not busy performing or recording are hanging with friends at his house, participating in “Sunday fun-day activities,” going to Whole Foods and Half Price Books, and playing Xbox in his bed, the ultimate relaxation.
See Austin perform at the Driskill Hotel Sept. 13. For more information on this event and other shows, visit tjeaustin.com.
