Bio
Austin came from humble beginnings. He was born in the state of California to a single mother. He never knew his father, nor has he never met him before. For almost his entire childhood, his mother was the only source of income they had. It put a lot of stress on his mom; Austin knew she was struggling even as a little boy since she was working so often and he'd only see her for a few hours a day, including the weekends.
This caused him to build up a hatred towards his father despite never seeing him before in his life. His mother never talked about him much, either.
Since his mother was so busy with work, that left her little time to actually be a 'true' parent to the then young Austin. He spent quite a bit of time at home not monitored by anyone by the time he was old enough to not need a babysitter watching him. He couldn't understand right from wrong... And this caused Austin to get into a bunch of trouble at school. He hung out with the 'bad people' all throughout his elementary, middle, and high school years.
Still, he remained close to his mother throughout. He knew she worked hard for him, and Austin respected that. No matter the number of problems he caused during his childhood, not once was he ever disrespectful to his mother. Other people were a different story, though...
He worked part-time jobs to help lessen the stress on his mother as soon as he was able to. If his mother didn't insist he stay in school, Austin would've dropped out of high school just to support her.
And since then, Austin kept picking up odd jobs where he could up until he found a career in music. Singing was a talent of his; at his lowest points, he used music as a form of solace. He didn't have a bad voice so, after a few years of finding gigs, he was able to turn it into his permanent profession.
