Austen Starr

Austen Starr is a fast-rising rocker from Boston who's shaking up the scene with her debut album *I Am The Enemy*, dropping February 13, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl. She wrote her first piano song at just 11, kicked off her rock journey after ditching pop star dreams amid rising anxiety—finding her voice in screaming out those raw feelings, inspired by bands like Paramore, Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, and Taylor Swift. A natural rebel from a family that never pushed music on her, she's teamed up with heavyweights like Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake) on guitars, Chris Collier (Mick Mars, Lita Ford) on bass/drums, Steve Ferlazzo (Avril Lavigne) on keys, and Chloe Lowery (Trans-Siberian Orchestra) on backing vocals for tracks like "Read Your Mind," "Medusa," "Remain Unseen," and the title cut—each with killer videos that dive into her tortured rockstar vibe.

Self-described as an "anxious wreck" who hates bad grammar (yet bends it for song meter), the smell of leather, wet stuff, the Northeast, yellow, and herself, Austen channels that hypocrisy and inner chaos into melodic hard rock with pop edges, think Avril Lavigne meets heavier riffs. She's already got fans buzzing with her catchy singles and Viper Room stage energy, proving this reluctant Bostonian is here to stay.
