Birmingham native and Classically trained concert and jazz pianist Austin Riddle has immersed himself into an all but unfamiliar mix of a smokey-sensual R&B stamp engrained with 80s inspired melodic pop sentiments. Austin has been developing his songwriting, production, and vocal skills since childhood and routinely collaborates with R&B, Pop and hip hop musicians. Austin’s mixtape “Sanctuary” is available on all platforms and acquired almost 200,000 streams within the first month of its release. “I just make music as therapy, and hope to share that journey with anyone who resonates with it”, Riddle says.
