NEW MUSIC
Austin Moody is an East Tennessee–born country artist whose music bridges deep respect for traditional country with the timeless drive of classic rock. Rooted in farm life, bluegrass, and a blue-collar work ethic, his sound draws from the lineage of Alan Jackson, Don Williams, Johnny Cash, George Strait, Earl Scruggs, and the enduring songwriting of Tom Petty.
Though he began playing banjo at age nine and writing songs at fifteen, Moody once believed his future lay outside of music, pursuing a path toward the U.S. Air Force. That course changed when Nashville called… but early success in the publishing world revealed a disconnect between his artistic values and the modern country mainstream. Rather than compromise, Moody stepped away.
He left Nashville and hit the road, traveling through the American West, Mexico, and California, rediscovering both his love for music and the clarity behind why he makes it. Those experiences reshaped his perspective and reinforced his commitment to songs rooted in lived experience, honesty, and emotional truth.
Today, Moody creates music meant to be inhabited — songs shaped by love, loss, and hard-earned self-knowledge. Grounded, unpolished, and resolutely authentic, his work reflects an artist guided not by trends or ambition, but by conviction, connection, and the belief that the strongest music comes from staying true to where you’re from.
“I will never forget my roots or the music I was raised on. I’m a country artist. It’s who I am, and how I was raised. But it’s so much more than that: it’s what I do, and now it comes through in everything I sing.”
