About Me


Odd Austin is a parody artist, who writes and records obviously, parody music, his songs might also be described as dementia or comedy, but I’m sure you already knew that, aside from writing music Austin enjoys watching TV, obsessively checking his email to see what updates might have come in the last two minutes, and talking in the third person.
He got started in the early 2000s, he was sitting in class probably gluing together some pointless arts and craft assignment in fourth grade and his friend Matt was singing this song, a curious Austin said, ‘What are you singing you freak!’. Then he responded ‘Yoda, by Weird Al’. That day Odd Austin was born. After that he wrote down lyrics in a book bought for him previously, he filled the journal with lyrics of any thing that randomly came into his head. I think there was even a song about seat belts in there. We would advise you not to look further into this lyric book that marks the origins of his music, most of the lyrics in there would most likely be classified as “Awful”, there really no point in emailing to ask if you could get some of the lyrics from it, unless you would like to gouge your eyes out after approximately two seconds of reading. Um… where was I… oh right!
In mid-2005 Austin tried to record some of these songs in the most pathetic way possible, a tape recorder! Obviously these songs sounded terrible, but once he heard that his uncle Travis had a recording system on his computer called Magix, Austin recorded his first demo album, a small ten track CD with parodies of Green Day and other related punk artists. The following year he released five more demo albums thus creating a small fan base via MySpace and other internet sites.
Since then Austin has been played on The Dr. Demento Show, The Mad Music Dementia Top 20 (With 4 songs hitting number 1 to date), The Mad Music Show, and Kahn Man's Comedy Corner to name a few. His music has been described as hilarious and clever by many and a few have even called some of his songs the funniest recording they’ve ever heard. At the extremely young age of 16, Austin is quite possibly the youngest comedian in the parody music industry today, and is opening doors to a promising future in dementia music. In 2008 he began recording his first studio album “Wrong Side of the Bed” which was in the making for over six years.
But don’t just take our word for it, see what other great comedy artists think:
"Odd Austin is a young and impressive talent. He's got the tools to make you laugh and knows how to use them." -Digital Laughter
“Odd Austin's music is recommended by 9 out of 10 psychologists he sees.” -Matt Hodgson
“One of those people I really admire quite a bit, he’s only fifteen years old and yet he’s got so many songs out, it just makes your head spin” and "He's the new Weird Al". -Captain Wayne
"With acts like you (age 15), Nuclear Bubble Wrap (age 18), and Soggy Potato Chips (age 18), I think it's safe to say that the future of dementia is in very capable hands! Rock on, dude!" -DJ Particle
"Truly one of the better song writers out there keep up the GREAT work!" -Reverend Zach
"'Old People' has some funny lines. A bit insensitive, for sure, but that helps make it funny." -Dr. Demento
"Enjoyed the Old People song! The Atari song made me nostalgic for those old video games. I never could master Asteroids but it's not hard to find a Galaga game still operational in a pizza place or arcade. Cool to have something to play that doesn't involve shooting people's guts out. (Of course i do like DDR but that's another story). Your production is great too. -Carla Ulbrich
"Odd Austin's music grabs you firmly by the cahonez and vigorously shakes them until all that remains are the foundation of what can only be described as 'nutty'" -Dino-Mike
"Odd Austin reminds me a lot of myself when i was his age. The parodies, the writing, the dedication, and of course...the large hair." -Insane Ian
ASK AUSTIN- Do you lie awake at night, crying and gnashing your teeth, tossing and turning, yelling out "Why! Why oh why can’t I ask Odd Austin what kind toxic substance he spreads on his toast for breakfast?". Well, now you don’t have to, (By the way the answer to the question is any sort of item on the McDonald’s menu) because now just for you I have launched "Ask Austin" all you have to do is email me at here. Send your name, the date, and obviously your question. Ask as many questions as you want, as frequently as you want. Keep in mind that all questions should be appropriate and if this rule is broken then questions won’t be posted.
SPREAD THE WORD!- Are you a fan of Odd Austin Aeschliman? Do you enjoy his crazy parody music? Well spread the word. Tell every one you know (Even your pet goat) about him and encourage them to see his many pages on the internet. Heck even ask ’em to buy an album or two. Be apart of the building of his future career. If you have any other questions message him on MySpace or look in at the latest Ask Austin for more information. Also if you have connections to any record labels or recording companies in the Colorado area and feel like helping out. Please contact Austin.
