With his first
song recorded in 1995, William Austin aka Tucky, has always had an ear for
music. His grandfather,
Charles Doc Austin is listed in the book Top 200 Jazz Musicians of All
Time, so there is no secret music runs in his blood. While growing up in San
Antonio, TX, Tucky started expressing and developing his musical talents with
his friend
Steven Moore aka Stevee
so he for formed Big Tuck Records.
With a side business of burning
mix CDs doing extremely well, he decided to put exclusive Big Tuck Records
music as bonus tracks on CDs for customers. This started a buzz that caught the
ear of rapper
Mystery aka SoS.A., who was looking for a record label to promote his
music. A one album deal was negotiated and so
Mystery's debut solo album
Its My Time to Shine was quickly released in 2000 and went on to sell
over 200 copies throughout San Antonio.
Tucky then moved
to Miami to try to network and promote his music, and in the process, did a
$12,000 upgrade to his recording studio. He went to school 2 minutes away from
the world famous
Hit Factory recording studio. While in Miami, he met up with acts such as
Award-Winning Grammy artist
Bone Thugs-n-Harmony,
J.T. Money,
Freddie P. (MTV Making the Band 2), and a few other artists also.
Flying back and
forth from Miami to San Antonio, Big Tuck Records managed to drop two more
compilation CDs by 2002. With the artist rosters increasing per release, Big
Tuck Records had already worked with artist such as
Mystery aka SoS.A.,
Stevee,
Freddie P.,
2-Slim,
G-Oni,
Gizmo,
Rizo,
Mischief,
Black Optmist,
Mr. Shotta,
Tonio D.,
Black Moses III, Ice Berg Slim, Ticapoise and many more. Over the years,
Mystery signed to Maldo Entertainment and
2-Slim signed to Made Man Records, both which are up-and coming local San
Antonio labels, while
Stevee signed to
Take Fo Records which is a popular local label in New Orleans.
Big Tuck Records
then changed to
B.T.Entertainment.
B.T.Entertainment then went on to release to more Texas projects,
Mystery
MysteRemix and
G-onis
We From Da Dirty, which both combined to sell more than 4,000 copies
throughout the south. While in Miami, Tucky focused on producing and
marketing. Thanks to a few local DJs,
B.T.Entertainment's music was in a constant rotation through out underground
radio stations that could be heard all over Miami.
Currently,
B.T.Entertainment has recorded over 800 songs.
