Welcome to my Soundcloud! This is where I put stuff that I'm not ready to release everywhere yet or is still a work in progress. Enjoy!

About Me:
Havins is a songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist from Austin, TX, currently is based in Boston, MA. He believes that music is a kind of magic and it brings him a joy and meaning that he cannot experience anywhere else. Havins’ mission is not only to experience this feeling for himself but to share it with others through his songs, his shows, and his story.

 

Ever since he was ten years old, Havins knew that he wanted to write songs and perform. By the age of 12, he was playing shows with a band around the central Texas area and was featured on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, making it to the Vegas Round. He also released two EPs at the ages of 13 and 15 and performed at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN in 2014. In high school, he released a four track EP called, “Dawn," and held a release show which drew over 200 people. In 2017, he moved to Boston, MA to attend Berklee College of Music. Shortly after arriving in Boston, he participated in the ABC reboot of American Idol, and made it to the Hollywood Week round. As well as performing solo, Havins also plays with his band, a collective of talented musicians from all around the world. After a little over two years in Boston, Havins has done two small tours, released two singles "Not My Name" and "Traveling Salesman," and performed at many of Boston's premier venues.

​

Havins' sound lies somewhere at the crossroads of Folk/Singer-Songwriter and Alternative Rock. His biggest influences are Bon Iver, Shakey Graves, and Phoebe Bridgers, as well as greats like Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. Havins always has the desire to do something new in his music and loves to let his sound evolve over time naturally. Havins believes in trying to be authentically himself both on and off stage and spreading a message of loving all people (including yourself) and being grateful for life.
