Austin Manuel was born and raised and lived in Nashville until his Saturn return catapulted him out to Los Angeles in 2017 at the end of a west coast tour. Post-pandemic, Manuel started to promote shows at a small club in Atwater Village, cultivating a community of likeminded musicians around LA and beyond. He lives in Highland Park, Los Angeles with his wife and baby boy and is onto his next venture as a record store and music venue owner at Healing Force of the Universe in Pasadena.
Conception centers around relearning his childhood, understanding his relationship to his father (d. 2017), and his rebirth California.
