DeeDee Austin is an Indigenous singer, songwriter, and musician from Fall River, Nova Scotia, who has been singing since the young age of 10. Now, at 16 years of age, DeeDee is poised to make notable strides on the East Coast with the release of her debut EP, Stepping Stones, in spring of 2021. She was nominated for Music Nova Scotia’s Indigenous Artist of the Year award in 2021.

DeeDee is a product of her church community and Indigenous heritage. She gives credit to the late Maxine Hibbits, an organist from her church, for sparking her initial desire to pursue a life of music and draws much inspiration from her Indigenous roots.

At the tender age of 16, DeeDee Austin already possesses the skill set of an established singer-songwriter, with every song on Stepping Stones being written and arranged by DeeDee herself and featuring dynamic vocals, powerful melodies, sincere content, and infectious lyricism. Co-production was also offered by DeeDee’s mentor, artist and producer Owen “O’Sound” Lee. DeeDee has also released two singles, “Buried Truth” and “Buried Truth Pt. 2 & 3.” DeeDee’s multi-faceted sound will be sure to have you dancing, while simultaneously pulling on your heart strings!
