Chris Young
With a dark baritone well beyond his years and a keen ear for the melodic country music of his childhood, Chris Young went from Nashville Star champion to actual Nashville star over the course of just a few years. Young won the reality show competition in 2006, securing a recording contract with RCA. After a slow start, he hit radio paydirt with his second record, 2009's The Man I Want to Be, featuring the sweet, seductive smash "Gettin' You Home (The Black Dress Song)," his first single to reach number one on the Billboard Country Airplay charts. Over the next decade, he stayed at the top of the charts with subsequent smashes like "Tomorrow," "You," "Neon," "I'm Comin' Over," and "Losing Sleep," songs that established his credentials as an old-fashioned crooner. This success led to an induction to the Grand Ole Opry in 2017. Young remained a hitmaker into the 2020s, reaching number one on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart with 2021's Famous Friends, featuring the title-track duet with Kane Brown.
The grandson of onetime Louisiana Hayride performer Richard Yates, Young hails from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and first drew the public's attention when he appeared on the Nashville Star television show in 2006. Young's singing abilities first surfaced in children's theater productions in grade school, and with his family's full support, he threw himself into learning all he could about music, and country music in particular. By the time he was a senior in high school he was already playing clubs in the Nashville area, and his self-released debut album was out before he even graduated from high school. Young attended college at Belmont University in Nashville and then Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, all while still managing to do some 150 live shows a year. He was offered and accepted a gig fronting the house band at Cowboy's in Arlington, Texas, and it was there that a fan kept insisting that he audition for the Nashville Star TV show.
