Personality
Austin is an outgoing, amazingly talented, and somewhat naive person, but he is generally really sweet and friendly.

With the help of his friends, Austin is following his dream of making it in the music business along with Ally. Austin sings the songs that Ally writes for him. He is shown to be a slight airhead, and also seems to love stuffed animals and pancakes.

He achieves his dream of performing in Time's Square on New Year's Eve in, Big Dreams & Big Apples, thanks to his friends.
