Rising country music star and fifth generation local Arizona boy, Austin Burke, has overcome some hard times. His dreams are finally coming true. An up and coming new artist in Nashville, he recently signed with the William Morris Agency. 

Burke and his family struggled with financial issues when he was younger. His father, Shawn Burke, says they were just living day to day after his business got caught up in the real estate mortgage crisis. As the years continued, everything was taken away but their family.
