In 2012 he teamed up with I.Y.F.F.E. and won the Seven Lions Official Remix contest on Beatport, with their remix of "Days to Come", which was released on Skrillex's OWSLA label.[2] Au5 also collaborated with BT on the single "Partysaurus Overflow" for Walt Disney Records/Pixar,[3] and was also featured with Matt Hales on BT's single "Surrounded", which made it to #2 on Beatport's dubstep chart. Alongside Bada and Fractal, Au5 contributed to the track "City Life" from BT's album A Song Across Wires, released on August 16, 2013 by Armada Music.

History
Since the age of 4, Austin has been involved with music, and has had constant exposure to multiple genres, both old and contemporary.[4] He received weekly classical piano training until the age of 12. He started using Easy Beat (a simple multi-track MIDI sequencer) when he was 8 years old, and when he was 11, he learned the program GarageBand. At the age of 12, he began taking production more seriously; having been in numerous bands, and learning how to mix, Austin decided to start a solo project as Au5.[5]
It was announced on February 10 that Austin would be joining Infected Mushroom on their 2015 US Tour[6]
