What's the Story?

Austin & Ally is about the friendship between a singer and musician, Austin Moon, and a shy songwriter, Ally Dawson. Ally has a big problem: she has stage fright. This means she gets very scared to perform in front of people.

In the first episode, "Rockers & Writers," Austin secretly sings one of Ally's songs. His best friend, Dez, helps him make a music video. They post it online, and Austin becomes famous! Ally's best friend, Trish, convinces Ally to tell everyone she wrote the song. Austin then asks Ally to join him and write more songs together.

They become good friends and work to make Austin even more famous. Trish becomes Austin's manager, helping him with his career. Dez creates all of Austin's music videos. The four friends go on many exciting adventures as Austin's music career grows. By the end of the first season, Austin signs a record deal with Jimmy Star, a big music boss.

In the second season, Austin and Ally work together to solve new problems. Ally starts to get over her stage fright by performing with Austin. She also signs her own record deal and records her first album. Austin goes on a national tour, traveling around the country to perform. Ally joins him for the second half of his tour.
