Exploring the lives and emotions of the character’s he brings to life is how Austin Cunningham describes his formula for success. "When I write a heartbreak song, for example, I don’t want to just say, ‘oh so and so broke my heart,’ and leave it at that," he says. "I want to get behind the motivation of the breakup…what was going on in the character’s mind and heart… there’s always more to the story than meets the eye, and that’s something I want to try to capture when I write. I also like to try to put a positive spin on things…maybe add a little inspirational twist." His interpretations of life have appealed to such artist’s as The Judds, Dolly Parton, Tracy Byrd, Kathy Mattea, Tanya Tucker, and Reba McEntire among others who have cut his songs. His last two singles have been featured in motion pictures. The Where The Heart Is soundtrack includes the single "Grow Young With You" (Coley McCabe), and his song "Beautiful" (Jennifer Paige) was featured in the Winona Ryder/Richard Gere movie, Autumn In New York. Other cuts include "From The Ashes" (Martina McBride), "I’m Your Man" (Jason Sellers), and "Dancin’ With Angels" (SHeDAISY). His Christian cuts include recordings by Susie Luchsinger, Roy Clark, Ken Hollaway, and Lisa Daggs among others. Cunningham is a recipient of the coveted Johnny Mercer Award for "Emerging American Songwriters," which is given annually to one writer each from New York, LA, and Nashville.

First saw Austin at Love and War in Plano. He put on a great show and I bought the new CD. I haven't taken it out of my CD player. This guy is a great story-teller and his lyrics really blew me away. I've heard a lot of Texas artists and this guy is the real thing. Great voice but even better song-writer!

I got to meet Austin in Richardson Texas. What a great guy. Has a great song "with my arms wide open". is great. Maybe he should do an all gospel album!

Austin is a "TRUE" class act. Seems to never meet a stranger. That's what "Texas" music is all about. Interaction with the fans and with fellow musicians. I have his CD's and my band and I have had the pleasure of being on the roster along with Austin at several shows now. Always a good time and always in good spirits. He has run the roads for years and still loves his job. Never too busy to give guys like us good advice on the "business". See you at the next show Austin. Oh, I've talked to the guys and we thought you'd be a good candidate to produce our next CD. Like your style! What do ya' think?
