Country newcomer Austin Williams has signed with CAA for booking representation.

The 19-year-old Nashville native signed to industry veteran Missi Gallimore and Jim Wilkes’ T.R.U.T.H Management Projects/Promotion and independent label Truth or Dare Records earlier this year and shortly after, released “Wanna Be Saved,” followed by his debut EP of the same name.

Williams will release the full version of the country-90’s rap mashup, which went viral on TikTok earlier this year, on Nov. 17. On Dec. 8, he’ll share a new song called “Here We Go Again.” Additionally, Williams is performing at Nashville’s iconic Exit/In tonight (Nov. 1).

“I have always wanted to work with Rod Essig and the CAA family,” says Gallimore. “So excited to take this next step in Austin’s career. I know that we are in good hands for representation as we launch into the next phase of Austin’s career.”

“I take pride in having the hardest working team in town,” adds Williams. “I couldn’t be more blessed to add another puzzle piece to that team. Looking forward to the future.”
