We recently connected with Austin Wilson and have shared our conversation below.
Austin, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?
I wrote my first song when I was six years old. I have been in love with the impact music can have on mood, scenery, and memory ever since.
Austin, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
My name is Austin Wilson, stage name is Pr¥nce Ace, yes you do need to put the yen symbol (¥) lol. I am a native of Dallas Texas, half Guyanese American born Independent Hip Hop Artist. I have been able to accomplish a lot in my time and I still have goals to reach but most importantly I just want to keep making my music in a way that keeps the artistry at the center, powering everything else and protected by it. You can find my music on all major streaming platforms, my latest album; New Vice City, has already amassed half a million after being released on November 20th, one day before my son’s second birthday and one day after my Father’s birthday.
How did you build your audience on social media?
I built my following by taking advantage of established pages in the music scene for shout outs as well as making collaborative posts and sharing mandatory requirements from artists I worked with, included in my feature price. As well as encouraging every new fan to tell their friends about me. Lastly, there is the option of paid promotion.
What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?
Understand that their is a lane for all artists, so if a particular artist isn’t your taste then that’s just it don’t need to speak negatively on them, just don’t speak on them at all. Conversely, understand that the opposite is true too, if you find an artist you like tell EVERYONE about them, that’s the best support, word of mouth is still the best promotion. So don’t keep the artists you do enjoy a secret.
