by Miranda Serra
Working with Austin will elevate your expectations of studio drumming. His extensive technical background and adaptability make him not only a versatile studio musician, but an exceptional teacher and musical director. Precise, steady, and innovative—I thoroughly recommend Austin Birdy.

I have had the pleasure of working with Austin on multiple projects. We have worked on my own music (4 singles, 1 EP, & a deluxe album) as well as working alongside each other in collaboration with other songwriters. On each project he showed complete dedication and brought amazing ideas to rehearsals and recording sessions. Throughout the process he showed great communication, showed up on time, and was incredibly respectful and professional. His work was a huge component of what made the final products great! Would absolutely recommend!

Austin played drum parts on three of my songs. He was amazingly professional, showed up rehearsed, was communicative throughout the process, and the results turned out great! Highly recommend!
