We had the good fortune of connecting with Austin Heath and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Austin, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I decided to pursue an artistic career because I feet like that’s what my purpose is. It felt like that’s my only way to success. I don’t feel right when I work for corporate companies, I don’t see myself working a 9-5 if it isn’t making music at home or the studio.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m a music producer from Atlanta, heavily influenced by the city’s iconic sound. Young Thug and Migos were my early inspirations. I started with guitar as a kid, but Metro Boomin’s work had the most significant impact on my music journey. Meeting him when “Heroes & Villains” dropped was a career highlight. I’ve collaborated with various local artists and producers across the city. Persistence, self-belief, and keeping God first propelled me to where I am today. Keep God first, believe in yourself, and miracles will follow.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would take them to see a hawks game or the studio probably. It’s so much to do in the city. There’s parties, clubs, music events. I’d take them to some of the local restaurants around the city, there’s a lot of good authentic taquerias around so that’s the first thing i’d prolly get.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I wanna thank Travis Williams for helping me start my path with making music. I wanna thank my friends and family, and the folks who wanna see me win. All the people who motivate me daily to be a better person too.
