Bio
SEAN AUSTIN
It Was Written...or was it? One might think in the 8th generation paternal grandson of famed writer and the state of Pennsylvania founder, William Penn and 7th generation maternal grandson of English Painter Joshua Reynolds would be singing baby Einstein lullabies in the crib while re-creating Munch courtesy of Crayola prepping for his life as the next great American artist!
Not Sean Austin. In true Generation X form, it took a Seattle based grunge band and their ode to teenage confusion and suicide in âJeremyâ where he found his calling. Since that defining moment, Austin has dedicated his life to cultivating his craft- writing, arranging, and recording some of the most heartfelt music with a modern-day twist on classic story-telling. Think Edgar Allen Poe in a flannel shirt on Quaaludes.
Like many burgeoning artists, Austin honed his skills performing at any local concert, showcase or house party that would allow his one-man band to play. So much so that heâs become a staple in New York Cityâs underground talent sector and is a favored guest in many of the downtown open mic venues including Kennyâs, Acme Underground, Arleneâs Grocery and the famed CBGBâs. A self-trained musician who plays by ear and can list the bass, acoustic and electric guitars, piano and drums as instruments he can perform well, what we have today is a strong and talented musician, who gives you his raw element, nothing fake or manufactured.
Currently, Austin is recording his anticipated debut â2nd Nature â with notable producer P.J. Bianco from Denise Richâs 785 Music Group which has written music for some of the most respected artist of our time including Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blidge and Celine Dion. Most recently, Bianco is credited for discovering and developing top 40 sensation, The Jonas Brothers. The album will feature mid and up-tempo songs written and arranged by Austin leading with the first single âFall Upâ, a modern-day retro-inspired club song which sounds as if it were written for Depeche Mode followed by âThrough The Windâ which is sure to be in heavy rotation on Top-40 stations worldwide.
In the age of single sensations, my-space phenomenonâs and ring-tone singers, Sean Austin is geared up and ready to re-introduce true artistry and musicianship. Though heâs also quick to point out the calls from Dublin, London & Stockholm looking to book him for shows, thatâs heâs over 750,000 profile views on myspace and the legions of teenage girls vying for a place in his heart to all the industry suits who inquire. When asked of his other musical influences Austin will run down many familiar and beloved names- The Who, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Trent Reznor, Jimi Hendrix and Bryan Adams but it all comes back to Pearl Jam. Jeremy spoke to him that day!
