Collin Austin, better known by his stage name Semie, is an emerging artist from San Diego, California, carving out a space in the slowcore and sadcore music scenes. His music uniquely blends the raw emotion of grunge with the introspective minimalism of slowcore, producing a sound that is both haunting and deeply moving. Drawing inspiration from bands like Nirvana, Linkin Park, and Duster, Semie channels the intensity of '90s alternative rock while exploring the quieter, more reflective side of human experience.

Semie's work is defined by slow tempos and sparse arrangements that resonate with listeners on a personal level. This fusion of grunge’s gritty textures and slowcore’s precision creates music that feels timeless—both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.

In May 2024, Semie was featured on the Sounds of City, Vol. 1 compilation, a significant milestone that highlighted his growing presence within the music community. He also showcased his versatility by contributing to the San Diego City College Electro-Acoustic Ensemble, showcasing a hip-hop track in the spring of 2024. This willingness to explore different genres demonstrates Semie's creative range and adaptability as an artist.

With a growing fanbase and continued work on new material, Semie is poised to make a lasting impact on the music industry. His music delves into the raw and often difficult aspects of human emotion, offering listeners a cathartic, introspective experience that lingers long after the final note.
