Biography

Austin Brown, known affectionately as “Auggie ” by his family and friends, is the youngest child of Rebbie Jackson and Nathaniel Brown. Austin has pretty much stayed out of the spotlight in his childhood. He did go on tour with his mother in the late 90’s and he traveled along with 3T in Europe in 1997 during the Brotherhood tour. Auggie played instruments during several showcases of Rebbie in The States in 1998, but other than that, he did not make many appearances in video clips or shows like many of his cousins did. So he has been working on his musical skills in silence and surprised everyone when he announced that he was working on an album in 2004.
For Austin, being of pop royalty is a responsibility, rather than a privilege; he has a lot to live up to – and knows it.
Austin is expected to create a really off-the-wall style for his generation by taking the old school feel, updating it to today and reminding people that it’s OK to be musical, it’s OK to play instruments, it’s OK to love melodies, do harmonies and dance.
Austin has been writing and producing some tracks with childhood friend Brandon Howard (son of R&B vocalist Micky Howard), who has worked with Missy Elliott and Ginuwine. Other elements that will give the debut album its gleam is Austin’s instrumentation – guitar, piano, drums, bass, and percussion, making him one very busy artist in the studio.
In November 2009 producer Rodney Jerkins announced via Twitter that he's in the studio with Austin making smakes and that they are making an album sounding like an international classic titled 85'.
On his 24th birthday, November 22, Austin’s relaunches his MySpace with a fresh design and new pictures. He also joins Facebook and Twitter, making him a busy and active man in the fan community.
Austin is finished his debut album '85 in Spring of 2010. He has been working hard to share some amazing stuff with his fans soon. The music video of the first single was shot in downtown Los Angeles in July. The debut album '85 release is scheduled for 2010 at his own label and home The Royal Factory. We just can not wait!
