Austin
Brown,
known 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 Rebbie 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 2008 at
Interscope Records and his first song
"1st Sight" premiered at My
Space. |
