Everything You Wanted to Know About ‘Wanna Be Saved’ Artist Austin Williams
We're calling it now—2024 is going to be a very big year for the newly 20-year-old country singer-songwriter Austin Williams.
Known for viral tracks including "Wanna Be Saved," "Bury My Bones" and his "90s Rap Mashup," featuring country interpretations of iconic hip-hop songs, Austin is beloved for his mature, well-honed vocals, honest tackling of important topics and unique fusion of hip-hop and country sounds. His approach is unmistakable and truly his own, and it's no surprise at all that he debuted at No. 9 on Billboard's Emerging Artists chart, and that this spring, he'll also be touring with Larry Fleet and Warren Zeiders on their respective tours. We can't wait to see what else the year will bring for Austin, and in the meantime, here's everything we learned about the artist as our latest Man Crush Monday.
