There are so few artists these days that can legitimately claim the title Entertainer, but Austin Cody is quickly becoming one of those rare finds. He has successfully built the foundation necessary to make an indelible mark on Country music. Time and time again Austin's fans are thrilled and energized by his stunning stage presence and high-energy performance style.

Garnering the support of numerous Nashville heavyweights, two years ago Austin brought together an elite group of industry veterans to record, produce and perform on his first CD, "Destination You." His production team included industry insiders Darran Smith, who co-produced Tim McGraw's Grammy nominated CD "Live Like You Were Dying", and Dino Pastin, the award winning saxophonist for legendary country acts Alabama and Barbara Mandrell.

"Destination You" immediately proved to be a big seller at his live performances and personal appearances. This success bodes well for his sophomore offering, which Austin is currently preparing to record. He plans to bring these and other talented artists together again to record his upcoming project.

Austin has proven himself to be a viable contender in Country music as demonstrated by the whirlwind of activity in his career over the past couple of years. Along with his numerous solo live performances, Austin has also spent time as the opening act for country artists Gretchen Wilson, Trace Adkins and Big & Rich. Austin has released his first music video and has been heavily involved in the CMA Music Festival each of the past several years.

Those attending the CMA Music Festival in recent years may remember seeing Austin performing at the historic Ryman Auditorium with Craig Morgan, Jason Aldean, Trick Pony and others in connection with his 1st Place win at the International Fan Club Organization's Center Stage Star Search competition. Austin most recently appeared as part of the Chevy Music Tour during the 2007 CMA Music Festival, playing to hundreds on Broadway, and is looking forward to seeing everyone again in 2008.

As always, Austin's down-to-earth personality on and off stage, teamed with a sincere love for his music and appreciation for each and every friend and fan, makes him a genuine crowd pleaser. The future continues to look bright for this rising star on the Country music scene.
