Singer Tje (pronounced TYE) Austin, a vocalist and songwriter who hails from Austin, Texas, is a breath of fresh air and is making his mark on the music scene. With his truth running deeply, Tje's smooth and warm vocals caress the soul and speak to the heart. Tje has opened for Grammy award nominees Anthony David, Dwele and Trey Songz.
Ask Tje where his unique mixture of styles comes from and he will tell you they were influenced by his family members' diverse ethnicities and musical tastes. Tje says, "There were so many of us and everyone listened to something different; my parents listened to country and classic rock; my brothers and sisters listened to rock and top 40; and I always liked to listen to soul and R&B. I bring all of these types of music to my music." Tje is one of nine children, all from a rich tapestry of multicultural backgrounds. Tje grew up traveling and living across the U.S. and even overseas in Japan. The experience of living in different places gave Tje not only a deeper sense of himself, but also a unique understanding of how different places have their own rhythms and pace, which influence his music.
Tje's songwriting talent is equally impressive as his vocal prowess. Tje says that, "I am inspired by small moments, whether they happen to me, my family, or my friends. I take how I feel and try to connect on a personal level with people who listen to my music because we all go through the same life issues!"
