Directed by Anze Skrube, the video blends cinematic storytelling with modern performance aesthetics, creating a compelling visual narrative that complements the energy and tone of the track.
Shot in LA, the setting adds an urban texture that enhances both the mood and authenticity of the piece.
Austin is trained in a wide range of dance styles, including hip-hop, afro-fusion, bachata, discofox, tango and salsa — the latter inspired by his father figure, who built a life in Germany as a salsa teacher.
Together with his wife, Austin leads a long-established dance institution in Germany. They have built a dance school community of over 1,400 active members and created a platform that empowers and connects people through movement and culture.
