Sam Austins signed with Nathan James of Little Worry & Drew Drialo for management.
Sam Austins is released by Atlantic Records/Assemble Sound & booked by Wasserman Music.
Sam Austins is an innovative singer-songwriter from Detroit, Michigan, who has emerged as a significant voice in the alternative music scene. Born and raised in a culturally rich environment, he faced personal challenges, including a period of homelessness, which deeply influenced his artistic expression. Austins gained widespread recognition with his debut mixtape HOMELESS STAR, released in 2021, which blends elements of alternative rock, R&B, and hip-hop while exploring themes of resilience and self-discovery.
His music has garnered critical acclaim for its boundary-breaking approach, with notable singles like "JOY FOR YOUTH" and "KILOS" resonating with audiences and earning placements in popular media such as HBO's Euphoria. Now based in Los Angeles, Austins continues to push creative boundaries while expanding his influence beyond music into fashion and visual art.
