Straight out of the heart of South Africa comes an emerging male pop artist, Joss Austin. He’s recently signed a deal with RIV Music.

Originally from Durban, South Africa, Joss has been slowly breaking into the music scene since his teen years. Though he started out pursuing pop music, he’s now fully transitioned into a unique rap and hip-hop style of music, making it his own. Joss has been compared to Post Malone, but truthfully, his music comes with a fresh, original take as he mixes sexy vocals with catchy rap verses.

For Joss, his dream is what keeps him motivated, not money, not fame, but his dream and passion for music. He looks forward to being an example for those that might feel discouraged based on their circumstances. He believes that if a kid from Durban, South Africa can work hard and land an international record deal to make his own album, then it’s possible for others too.

“I’m not striving for money or success but for happiness. This is what makes me happy. That’s my goal,” Joss says. “I want to show kids that they can too, no matter where they come from.”
