Brett Young is a top country music performer. His new hit song is called “Here Tonight“ which is off his new album “Ticket To L.A.”

The Orange County, California, native was born on March 23, 1981, and began his music career in 2007. Young’s forthcoming album “Here Tonight” is a heart-felt and hook radio-ready debut.

Young started singing in the late ’90s when he stepped in to replace the absent leader of the band during a Christian worship meeting at his high school. In high school, Young was the pitcher on his high school baseball team and led the squad to a CIF championship. He also went to Ole Miss on a baseball scholarship in 1999 after turning down the pre-draft selection of the Tampa Bay Rays and the Minnesota Twins.

After college, Young decided to start singing again because he was inspired by Gavin DeGraw after he heard his album “Chariot.” In 2007, Young independently released a self-titled four-song EP. He followed that up with “Then Make Believe” (2011) and “On Fire” (2012).

After eight years in Los Angeles, Young moved to Nashville and was soon signed by Big Machine Label Group in August 2015.

Young is often compared to Luke Bryan because he is a pop country singer that produces catchy songs that will be stuck in your head for days like “Country Girl” and “Drunk On You.”

“Ticket To L.A.” is another big song for the country singer it describes how his career all started and what made him who he has become. The song also shows his viewers and who he is and what made him an artist.

“Ticket To L.A.” and “Here Tonight” set a perfect tone for each subject being described. The album’s top song, “Here Tonight,” talks about Young and his girlfriend and how he never wants her to go because “he wants to get wrapped up in her love and stay here tonight” which means he is deeply in love.

Young has made himself bigger with the song hit “Here Tonight “ and he hopes to become bigger in the coming months.
