Kaleb Austin’s career
Early music and first EP
Austin started writing his own songs at age 14 in Murray, Utah. A neighbor gave him his first guitar lessons after drum and piano lessons, and the guitar gave him a portable way to play the songs he heard on the radio.
He released his debut EP, Empty Bed of Roses, independently in 2014. Over the next two years, he toured the western United States with JoDee Messina, Billy Currington, Dan+Shay, Brantley Gilbert, and Joe Nichols.
Nashville years and time away from music
Austin moved to Nashville to write songs and work with other writers. He stayed for almost a year, and he wrote his first two singles shortly after he moved back to Utah. Family reasons pulled him home, and business moves that did not work out left him short of money.
Music moved to the back burner for a few years after that move. He took steady work to support his family, and he stopped writing and performing for a time.
Independent comeback and chart singles
Cheyenne changed that course in late 2020. She filmed Austin singing in their kitchen and posted short clips online, and one clip asked him to sing Jason Aldean while he stood at the fridge. The clips spread fast, and the KAmpfire grew around the family videos.
Austin used that support to return to Nashville and record with producer Dan Frizsell. Sound of the South came out in January 2021, and it debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes country chart.
Sun Goes Down followed in May 2021, and it reached No. 1 on the iTunes country chart and on the all-genre iTunes chart. Austin wrote the song years earlier as a gift for Cheyenne, and it topped the charts around their fifth wedding anniversary. Turn the Night On followed in September 2021, and it kept his run of independent singles going.
Later singles and live shows
Austin kept releasing singles through 2023, 2024, and 2025. Wild One, Little Things, and Who I Am came out in 2023, and Run From the Rain came out on January 10, 2024. The 2024 song tells the early love story of Austin and Cheyenne.
A run of 2025 singles followed, with Back in the Country, Smoke In This Bar, That’s Why I Love You, Stone, Get On Back, Honky Tonkin, and Gunsmoke. His first full album came out in 2023 after a crowdfunding push from his online following.
Live shows stayed central to his work. He plays fairs, festivals, and club dates with a four-piece band, and his set mixes covers with his own songs.
Awards and recognition
Austin earned the title TikTok Country Artist of the Year after his 2021 chart run. He also won Favorite TikTok Artist at the first Country Now Awards, which streamed on December 8, 2021. Country singer Travis Tritt surprised him with the news in a video message, and the award came from fan votes cast between November 15 and November 30, 2021.

Austin’s breakthrough started in late 2020, during the pandemic, when Cheyenne posted a short video of him singing to their baby daughter. The family tone of the videos drew viewers in fast, and the following grew to almost 2 million people. The fans named themselves the KAmpfire.
The KAmpfire then helped fund his return to Nashville. Fans sent song requests, and Austin sang requests live online to raise money for recording time. That support paid for the session with Dan Frizsell that produced Sound of the South.
The Country Now Awards win closed the breakthrough year. Travis Tritt told Austin on video that he had won Favorite TikTok Artist, and Austin thanked Cheyenne and the KAmpfire in his reply.
