Austen is a Melbourne-based pop icon. Austen has a unique sound matched only by her curated unique style. Pulling on synth-pop, electronic, and indie influencers, Austen has quickly become a rising star in the Melbourne scene. Austen adopts a bold character through her performance, one that has a striking look and massive presence - this is a surprising juxtaposition against her self-described introvert self. This character allows her to face the media head-on, which as a self-managed artist, is quite a formidable task. We caught Austen at the perfect time to chat about her new single ‘North South East West’, a beautiful track with a powerful hook. She shared some valuable insight on how she managers herself and the many hats she needs to wear to do so. Make sure to check out both the track and the dream-like video before tuning into the episode. You can follow Austen Instagram and on Spotify. This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the eastern Kulin nation, and we wish to acknowledge them as the traditional owners.
