Welcome to the Temporary Home Site for Austin's Music Wish. We are currently building the full website.
Music is LOVE and GOD created Music to share with the world. There is no better proof of the power of music than Austin Hopkins from Columbus, Ohio. Austin who has the rare Pollitt's Syndrome is an Angel sent to his parents, Pat and Don Hopkins, to share with the world and show us all what LOVE truly is. From the moment you witness the magic of Austin your life will be changed forever.
Austin's Music Wish is to help provide UPFRONT seating in music venues for those who cannot normally afford a chance to experience the power of Music Upfront and close to the artists. Normally ADA seating is in the back rows and thus views are usually impaired once the other fans stand up, taking so much away from the experience for those with disabilities. Austin's Music Wish is to provide these special Angels with a more up-close and personal experience which Austin has been so blessed to have due to his parents insistence that he get the full experience.
Our GOAL is to show music venues the true value of dedicating seating upfront. The experience for not only the disabled is going to be enhanced, but the experience of all those in attendance is going to SOAR!
If you are a venue that would like to learn more please use the form below to contact us and we will help provide you with all the information needed to become a "Austin's Music Wish" Certified Music Venue, a label which will show that you not only "GET IT", but that you too have Austin's Music Wish!
BANDS and ENTERTAINERS can become Certified as well. What does that mean? It will show your fans and the world that you are 100% Dedicated to providing those with Disabilities the ability to experience what Austin has been so blessed to have in his life. When booking an event you simply INSIST that the venue provide a Minimum of 3 seats as "Austin's Music Wish" Seats in the front of the stage. To learn more please contact us today and we will walk you through the process.

It cost you nothing to become certified. All it takes is making a commitment for every show on your schedule to have at least 3 seats made available for "Austin's Music Wish" Seating. You will also be provided with signage needed to display to show that you are supporting those fans who normally could not afford the seats.
Absolutely NOT. As a matter of fact this is not about free anything. There are a couple options. A-Provide the seating at general seating price. B- Tell us what you want for the pricing and we will work with you to secure the tickets. The main thing is that we are assured the tickets will not be sold at a premium price in order to make sure those fans who get the tickets can afford them.
That's where we come in. We will provide a vetting process. All it takes is your commitment to the seating and we will walk you through it.
Frankly if you are working with a promoter that will not support this you may want to re-think allowing them to be part of your venue.
We would love to see that happen but are realistic that your room/venue may not be able to be set up for more seats. Three seats are needed at min. One for the disabled Angel and the other two for care providers.
100%! God Bless you for "Getting It". Just contact us and tell us about your process and once approved we will send you all the information and signage that you need to show you are "Austin's Music Wish" Certified!!!!
A band wishing to become certified simply needs to just reach out to us and we will help you with the wording on the rider for your events. It simply states that you require seating for 3 at the closest point of the stage and they will not be sold at a premium. You will also be provided with all the signage you need to show your fans that you are a certified "Austin's Music Wish" Band!
We would love your help and one big way is by offering to sponsor tickets when they are needed to be purchased. We will make sure that you are recognized if you wish to be.
You may also help by educating venues that you frequent about "Austin's Music Wish".
On December 15th, Paul was making phone calls for one of his clients, Honda Marysville. The purpose of the call was to check in to see how the experience was when the customer visited the dealership the prior day.
While speaking with Don Hopkins, Austin's father, Paul found that Don was looking for a vehicle that he could use to take his son to and from Doctors visits, concerts and other places. Obviously once with word, Concerts, came out the two began talking about music.
Don went on to explain that Austin has Pollitt Syndrome, a rare disorder that affects about 10 people on earth. After educating Paul on the disorder, Don informed Paul that he, his wife and Son attend hundreds of concerts a year. Not only do they attend, but in many cases are literally invited by the artist themselves and provided front row seating OR actually sit on stage!!!!
This phone call would CHANGE Paul's life instantly when Don said these words... "I was sent an Angel to share with the WORLD". And the rest is history, or should we say, that was the Beginning! THE POWER of LOVE and MUSIC!!!!
At that moment Paul wrote down those words on an envelope and knew what was about to transpire. Within seconds of hanging up the phone with Don, which was about an hour later, Paul went to his piano and came up with the Melody for Austin's Song, something he recorded on his phone and sent to Don with a simple message, "Well Don this is what you just started" YES Paul does not only have the phone call, he has the original recording as well which we will be sharing on the Album when released on March 10th, 2024, Austin's B Day!
Austin's Song will be released in 5 Languages, as we will be sharing this Angel with the entire planet. Listen to the pre-release English version now on SoundCloud! You can also Listen to ALL Versions in the APP by going to New Music!
Please be sure to sign up for Updates today and be the first to know all that is going on with the track! ALSO please download the APP. You will be able to listen to all the updates and some great Music as well. Paul will also be hosting Austin and his parents on his weekly show, "Paul LIVE" very soon!
GOD Bless
