With a recent string of number one hits including “Voices,” “Gettin’ You Home,” and “The Man I Want to Be,” to his most recent number one chart-topper titled “Tomorrow,” Young is one of country’s fastest rising stars.

While all the sales numbers, accolades and awards are certainly appreciated, what Young values most about this time in his life is that he can make a living doing what he loves most.

“Music is why I’m here and it’s something I can’t live without,” says Young. “It’s what I’m built to do.”
