My name is Austin and I sing for the band To Breathe Again. I’m 26, live in Fort Wayne, IN with my fiancé and guitarist, Greg Tyzzer; known by his stage name: Scotty Wiard. We are a hard rock duo (for now) looking to start playing our first shows this year when we can fill out the rest of our lineup with a bassist and a drummer, possibly beginning with our headlining wedding show on June 12th.

Outside of music, I play video games on Twitch. I’m an experienced The Sims builder and am working on growing my Twitch channel around it. I also love food.

Music has been the center of my life ever since I was a toddler. I would sing all over the house, put on concerts in my bedrooms, and living rooms when no one was home, WELL into my 20’s. I started writing my own songs when I was 15. The eureka moment for me was when my dad gifted me Metallica’s S&M concert DVD for Christmas when I was 13. That show changed my life. That was the moment I knew I HAD to be a singer when I grew up. I started trying to learn guitar, and I tried out for musicals where I could. The defining moment for me, however, is when I saw Shinedown for the very first time. They became my favorite band that night, but moreover, I finally saw the dream I had fell in love with clearly for the very first time.  Around that time, I started going to as many concerts as I could and while I was in love with live music, it helped me strengthen my voice a little bit and I learned what I loved and wanted out of a live show, which has since become my true passion.

Greg and I are working hard between work, streams, and supporting our local bands and national friends writing for our next record and getting a bassist and drummer so we can start playing shows in our area. In the meantime, I would LOVE to get the opportunity to work with likeminded individuals to create something incredible!
