A ballad maker, organiser, producer, and vocalizer, Atlanta's Johnta Austin initially stepped out on SWV's Release Some Tension, bust out as the ballad maker of Tyrese's 1998 Top Ten tally "Sweet Lady," and, by 2004, tally a live bar that tangled collaborations with Mary J. Blige ("Be Without You"), Mariah Carey ("We Belong Together"), and Janet Jackson (much of 20 Y.O.). Signed to So So Def, the label founded by close associate and Virgin urban caput Jermaine Dupri, Austin released his debut solo album -- Ocean Blue -- in late 2006. At the fourth dimension, he was but in his mid-twenties.
