Tje Austin

Tje Austin is an Texas-based R&B singer-songwriter living in Austin. In 2011 he was a contestant during the first run of the North American adaptation of The Voice. After what he calls an amazing experience, Tje delved heavily into writing, releasing a few albums along the way and touring the country in his Prius. Tje Austin self released his EP "I Belong to You" on January 20, 2017, peaking at #25 on the iTunes R&B charts. Hailed as a "a rich and varied release" with a " brassy blast of classic soul" by the Austin American Statesman, the album is a celebration and open love letter to life and the little things that get twisted in the mix. In 2019, he was nominated and featured as a Black Fret artist, eventually going on to be awarded a grant at the Black Fret Ball. In 2021, Tje Austin was announced as a winning finalist of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest for his acoustic R&B song “I Can’t Breathe”, a song written during the pandemic in direct response to the murder of George Floyd back in May of 2020.
