Austin Brown

Austin Brown is a singer-songwriter, producer, and performer who has been actively recording and performing music throughout the 2020s. Born on May 22, 1986, in Tifton, Georgia, Brown first came to widespread recognition as the lead tenor of the a cappella group Home Free, which won Season 4 of NBC’s "The Sing-Off" in 2013 with Brown’s powerful vocals helping propel the group to national success. After more than a decade with Home Free, he chose in 2024 to leave the group to focus on his family and pursue a solo career, relocating to Nashville and stepping fully into life as a solo artist.

Since going solo, Brown has embraced a dynamic and evolving musical path, blending elements of soul, R&B, rock, and country with his band BLVK CVSTLE. In 2025 he celebrated the release of his album The Festival, an expansive project that showcases his songwriting, musicianship, and artistic vision, marked by live celebrations and performances that included surprise appearances from family and fellow artists. That same year he was spotlighted as a BET Amplified Live Artist of the Month, a feature that included performances and interviews across BET platforms and underscored his ongoing presence in the contemporary music scene.

Brown has also continued to bring his voice to television audiences: in 2025 he appeared on America’s Got Talent, where he auditioned as a country and soul singer, demonstrating that his performance career extends beyond studio recordings into national televised showcases. With his Grammy nominations and wins tied to collaborative projects—such as work with Tank and the Bangas and Lucky Daye—Brown’s influence extends into songwriting and production as well as performing.

Throughout his career, Brown has proved committed to musical exploration and community through his art, using live shows, residencies, and collaborative programming to connect with audiences. As of 2026, he remains actively involved in performing, recording, and evolving his sound, continuing to build on both his solo trajectory and his broader contributions to the music world.
