Leading thousands of people into worship and praise is nothing out of the ordinary for Austin Adamec. This 24-year-old, natural born leader was destined for life in music. Growing up in a family of singers and musicians, his father started him off in “diaper school” teaching him to play the drums. By third grade he was playing alongside Jordan Mohilowski, drummer for the Dove Award winning Christian band, The Afters. By 13, Austin was skilled in guitar, piano, and of course singing, and became the Worship Leader of his church youth group. Just a year later, Austin’s first live album was recorded with an audience of more than 2,500. In high school he became the Worship Leader for YouthQuake Live, a movement in North Florida reaching up to 5,000 teens a month.
Austin left his home in Jacksonville to peruse a degree in Marketing at the University of Florida, but God’s plan for him there was bigger than any diploma. He joined Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU) and quickly became the one thing God has called him to be, a worship leader. During his leadership, he saw weekly attendance grow from 300 to nearly 1,000 students! He led and co-produced CRU @ UFs first live worship album, that included some of his original songs.
It was at UF that Austin’s gift to drive people into the presence of God, and heart for unifying the body of Christ, led him to co-found UniteNOW (Night Of Worship) in 2008. Currently, UniteNOW has exploded into a semi-annual worship night where thousands of people come to praise the name of Jesus. His original song, “Release Your Glory,” is still a favorite every semester. His efforts also inspired others to start similar ministries around the country.
Now back in his hometown, Austin is continually sought out by churches and ministries in Northeast Florida to lead worship at their services, events, and concerts. He has been compared to Chris Tomlin with a rock edge. When Austin isn’t on stage, he is traveling back and forth to Nashville working with some of the top writers and producers in the Christian music industry. His five-song EP, My Only Answer, was released in October of 2011.
With a passion to reach people for Christ through music, Austin Adamec has found God’s calling on his life and is pursuing it!
