OK Sweetheart
Erin Kathleen Austin (born January 21, 1983), better known by her stage name OK Sweetheart, is an American singer-songwriter, with late 1960s pop influences. She spent a number of years in Tulsa, Oklahoma; the name OK Sweetheart developed out of her involvement with the Oklahoma music community. She has relentlessly toured extensively throughout the United States and some in Canada and Europe in support of her debut record, ''Home'', starting in early 2010. ''Home'' was independently released on April 5, 2011.
==Early life==
Austin was born in Utica, New York, and raised in Oriskany, NY until the age of 17. She was raised around her extended family. Her father, Dane Austin, is a business man. Her mother, Kathleen Austin, was a nurse. Austin is the middle of three sisters of which the older sister, Nicole Austin, was a semi-professional figure skater. Her interest in songwriting started as a young child, age 3, when she would make up her own lyrics and melodies to songs she heard. She started studying piano at age 4. Although not raised in a family of professional musicians, her parents, siblings and extended family were very musical and played a variety of instruments and would sing at most family gatherings. Her parents were born again Christians. Subsequently, Austin was brought up in singing at church and was only allowed to listen to Christian pop music, outside of the family gatherings where her father's "rock-n-roll" roots would shine while playing songs from 60's bands, like The Beatles, The Band and Charlie Daniel's Band, with his brothers. She attended a small private Christian school associated with the church until 3rd grade, was home schooled for 4th grade and then entered the Oriskany public school system. When entering Oriskany High School (grades 7-12) at age of 12, under the advisement of professional opera singer and family friend, Bruce Reid, Austin's parents placed her in private vocal lessons studying classical voice. Through this study, she honed her voice and started the framework for pursuing a career in musical theater and eventually opera. Austin's parents transferred her to, Clinton Senior High School, neighboring high school that had a more developed music program, where she graduated in 2001. She was active in school and community choirs and musical theater productions as well as sports and community service. She studied with a variety of vocal teachers until graduating from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, OK in 2006 with a degree in classical voice.
