As a designer and entrepreneur, Sands excels in the world of luxury eyewear. He is a partner in Hoorsenbuhs eyewear division in which he launched alongside Hoorsenbuhs founder Robert Keith. The frames are worn by the likes of Brad Pitt, David Beckham and Jennifer Anniston among others.

Austin initially got the idea for “Cruise”while driving on Pacific Coast Highway watching all of the different ways of life connect. He soon after transposed the idea to a song. Although originally written on guitar, he describes the song as synth- heavy singer-songwriter. “Cruise” is an upbeat song about being there for someone or something you care about, whether that be your lover, friend, child, pet or any connection you cherish.
