Biography
Wendy Austyn (aka Wendy Child) is a Pop/Folk/Blues singer from Colorado Springs, CO, United States.
“Music transports me to a place where I can totally be myself. I want my music to do that for others.” says singer/songwriter Wendy Austyn, who offers a fresh blend of jazz, pop, and folk music on her 2009 album mr.mystery. Wendy’s original compositions about love and life are honest reflections of her own life experience and dreams. And with soul-soothing cadence and lyrics relevant to everyday life, Wendy fulfills that ideal.
Wendy has always had a knack for music, starting piano lessons at age 6, but it wasn’t until she received a guitar at thirteen that she began to discover her own musical creativity. She is currently studying music business with an emphasis on songwriting at DBU.
Her songwriting influenced by popular artists such as Ingrid Michaelson, Priscilla Ahn, and Eisley, Wendy strives to hit her own sweet spot in writing engaging melodies. “A song has to be something people connect with. It should break the mold, take a risk, and still maintain a balance of musical excellence and lyrics that resonate with listeners.”
She is working on her next album, to be release in 2010, which she envisions to be an organic, jazzy-folk mix of songs with a definitely sultrier feel than anything she’s written before.
With a rapidly growing indie folk online fan base, Wendy Austyn is a brilliant new talent worth listening for.
