With a drive that sets her apart from the status quo, Austin was a top five finalist in the Folgers 2017 Jingle Contest which boasted thousands of entries and earned her a mentoring session with Chris Young. Austin's debut 2017 single "
Broken Record" landed her a shot at the 2017 NASH Next competition sponsored by Cumulus Media and Big Machine Records, in which she made it into the top ten finalists. She ended 2017 on a high note when the music video for her original holiday song "Wrap Me Baby" made its world premiere on CMT and was added into regular rotation on the network and secured the No. 4 fan voted spot on the CMT
Music 12 Pack Countdown.
Capitalizing on her momentum from 2017, Austin has dedicated 2018 to writing, producing and recording to answer the call of her fans... more music! Earlier this summer, Austin launched her crowd funding Kickstarter Campaign and through the support of her fans, was able to fund her brand new EP, Wild Child. The collection of songs are from her heart and for her fans... so turn up your speakers, let your inner Wild Child out and dance like no one is watching.
