Austin 'Auggie' Brown Finshing Up His Debut Album For Midas Records

LOS ANGELES (Midas Records) - Austin Brown, known affectionately as "Auggie" by his family and friends, is putting the finishing touches on his debut album, scheduled to release in late summer 2005 by Midas Records (ADA/WEA). Auggie has written or co-written all the tracks and provided accompaniment on piano, bass and drums. Additionally, Brown co-produced many of the album's songs, along with Midas' in-house producer/studio director Andrew Nast. Midas Records' CEO Ron Clapper is the executive producer of Austin's album, which is currently untitled and being recorded in Midas Records' state-of-the-art studio in the San Fernando Valley.

Adding to the anticipation for Austin's recording debut is the fact that red-hot producers Tim Kelly and Bob Robinson (Destiny's Child, Sisqo, Babyface, Boyz II Men) have recently joined Austin and Nast in the studio to add their own golden touch.

Austin comes from a dynasty of musical hit-makers. He is the son of Rebbie Jackson ("Centipede") and is the nephew of Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson and The Jackson 5. As Austin is already amassing an international following, a promotional tour to set-up the album release in Europe is presently being scheduled to take place this spring.
