Shawn Austin
With over 4 million collective streams to date, Shawn Austin has worked tirelessly to cement his place in the Canadian country music landscape. Following the meteoric rise of his debut single "Paradise Found", which landed him as one of the Top 10 most played Canadian Country artists on radio, the Vancouver based singer/songwriter was offered the opportunity to perform nightly as a surprise guest on Platinum-selling country star Dallas Smith’s wildly successful 27 date "Side Effects Tour". This past spring, he hit the road for a handful of dates with Gold-certified US country artist Chris Lane and an Ontario run with ACM nominated sibling duo High Valley.
Signed to superstar Smith's SteelHead Music, Austin's success hasn't come overnight, but after years of dedication, performing in local clubs and bars, crafting his smooth and sultry, laid-back sound. Often compared to Grammy-winning icon John Mayer and country heavyweight Brett Eldridge, Austin has earned adds on some of Spotify’s biggest country playlists and continues to soar up the radio charts with his current single “You Belong” off his self-titled debut EP released in September. With a chill vibe, honest lyricism and charisma through the roof, Austin is well on his way to becoming one of Canadian Country music’s next big stars.
