The Jacob Austin Band

Jacob Austin has been singing since age 3. Jacob became an active member of Brazos Valley TROUPE in the Bryan College Station area and began performing in public at the age of ten. Soon the director of TROUPE began to give Jacob solos in various productions. As Jacob got older he began to discover that he enjoyed singing and vocalized his desire to take voice lessons. When Jacob was eleven he began voice instruction and continued for three years. One day Jacob’s vocal coach informed him of an open audition for recording a children’s CD. Jacob went to the audition (his first true audition) and found there were approximately fifty to sixty other young vocalists auditioning for six spaces. At the end of the audition the director called six names and dismissed the rest. Jacob’s was one of the names called. The following week Jacob and the other five children went into a recording studio and worked very hard recording the CD, We Can, for Sopris West. This was a very exciting time for him and his family.
