Tje Austin
Musician

Tje Austin is a singer/songwriter based in Austin and has been here for more than 16 years. Tje was born and adopted in Hawaii and moved around the globe before moving to Austin to attend the University of Texas at Austin in 2001. Although he found his passion for music later in life, he wouldn’t change it for the world. Tje was on the first season of The Voice and today, he can be seen playing at local venues all over the city.

Although Austin has a reputation for great barbecue, Tje suggest checking out pastry shops like Gourdough’s and Sugar Mama’s. He says the pastry scene is just as delicious as the barbecue scene. If he’s not performing, you can catch Tje baking!

“I am proud to be part of the ever evolving machine of artists in Austin that help it truly be the Live Music Capital of the World. People come to Austin because they know we have great barbecue and even better music. I feel extremely lucky to meet so many people. Everyone loves music no matter what city I find myself in. It connects us universally.”
