Hi there — I’m Austin Coven, a USC Thornton School of Music graduate with a BS in Music Industry who blends music, branding, and fashion into a cohesive creative practice. I’m currently signed as a recording artist with Hallwood Media, developing a distinctive brand identity within electronic and hyperpop genres, while also applying branding, storytelling, and visual identity skills to broader creative projects. In addition to music, I’ve built hands-on experience in luxury retail and wardrobe styling, overseeing back-of-house operations and coordinating fashion shoots and product launches. Beyond performance, I’m passionate about building brands and communities through storytelling, social media, and events. I’ve co-founded and contributed to ventures in apparel and artist promotion, and I enjoy collaborating with other creatives to craft compelling narratives, identities, and experiences across music, fashion, and digital platforms.
