Beaver Falls native Austin Castle Ourada got his start in music while studying audio production in the Twin Cities and working in a lumberyard to earn money for recording studio time. He moved to Duluth about three years ago and released his debut album Northwoods in August. While primarily focused on country music, he explores multiple genres with the general goal to make music his friends and family can sing along to. Cole Mikel Gewerth fills out the sound on guitar.
