His first as a co-writer of Mariah Carey's hit We Belong Together and his second as a co-writer of Mary J. Blige's hit Be Without You. His career began when he was a mere eight years old, hosting the daily television show, "Kid’s Beat" on CNN. Covering current events, sports and the entertainment world, the young Austin went on to become the Atlanta Bureau Chief for the CNN weekly news program, "Real News for Kids" and the reporter for the TBS half hour weekly, "Feed Your Mind. He is recently engaged to Angel Carter. He was originally signed in the mid-late 90s to RCA Records before being dropped in favor of R&B singer Tyrese Gibson. However, he ended up writing a few songs for him (including the hit "Sweet Lady") as well as a few other artists instead. Austin has been extremely busy and extremely successful in the last several years. He co-wrote Mariah Carey's hit 2005 singles, "We Belong Together", "Don't Forget About Us", "It's Like That", and "Shake It Off" from her album "The Emancipation of Mimi".

Both of the songs were successful, Shortie Like Mine reaching 9th, and Outta My System reaching 22nd on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2005, he returned to his singing career with his first single "Lil' More Love". The single failed to become a hit, although a few songs he wrote for other artists were more successful. Ocean Drive, his debut album is scheduled to be released December 26, 2007, after a series of delays due to his record label, So So Def, leaving its affiliation with Virgin Music to Island Records..
