Biography
Austin
Brown,
known affectionately as “ Auggie
” by his family and friends, is the youngest child of
Rebbie and Nathaniel Brown. Austin has pretty much stayed out of the
spotlight in his childhood. He did go on tour with his mother in the
late 90’s and he traveled along with 3T in Europe in 1997 during
the Brotherhood tour. Auggie played instruments during several
showcases of Rebbe in The States in 1998, but other than that, he
did not make many appearances in video clips (except for 2300
Jackson Street) or shows like many of his cousins did. So he has
been working on his musical skills in silence and surprised everyone
when he signed with Midas Records in 2004, but switched labels in
2006 to Interscope Records.
For Austin, being of pop royalty is a responsibility, rather than a
privilege; he has a lot to live up to – and knows it.
Austin will create a really off-the-wall style for his generation by
taking the old school feel, updating it to today and reminding
people that it’s OK to be musical, it’s OK to play instruments,
it’s OK to love melodies, do harmonies and dance.
Austin has been writing and producing some tracks with childhood
friend Brandon Howard (son of R&B vocalist Micky Howard), who
has worked with Missy Elliott and Ginuwine. Other elements that will
give the debut album its gleam is Austin’s instrumentation –
guitar, piano, drums, bass, and percussion, making him one very busy
artist in the studio. His debut album is scheduled for a release in
2007 at Interscope Records. |
