But there are others that emerge fully formed, in full command of their craft, their identity and their music. Bertell Young fits firmly in the latter category. His new single “She get it from her mama”, is a captivating and moving single that heralds the arrival of a gifted and significant new talent, one whose music feels familiar in the best possible way, while striking out on his own territory.Born in the small town of Melville, Louisiana with a population of 1,045 people and raised in Houston, Texas. Bertell is a far cry from the typical small town guy. Bertell knows how to create harmony out of instability. Bertell says “As a child we moved around quite a bit, I knew that my physical life was unstable sometimes. That’s when I started looking within, I created harmony within. I started writing songs in my head, and it took my interest in music to another level. I had to teach myself to play the piano so I could cut music to the ideas I heard in my head.” It was not until much later in college that Bertell, decided to share what he’d found within himself, with others. “I was a popular athlete, so I already felt comfortable in front of my peers. There was a piano in the cafeteria, so one day I sat down and sang a song to entertain everyone.” Bertell saw their genuinely excited reaction. “A few of my team mates came up to me and said that if I didn’t make it as a professional basketball player, I should peruse music.” Bertell explains, “From then on things started to occur that drifted me down that path.” By the spring of 2008,Grammy award winning producer and Hall of famer Bryan Michael Cox, assisted Bertell in relocating to Atlanta, Georgia while working on various projects with artists such as Mary J. Blige, Usher, Jagged Edge, Monica and Joe to name a few. During this time Bertell elevated his knowledge of how the music business operated .One year later, Bertell signed his first record deal with Capitol Records. By 2010, Bertell had already made it to number 36 on the urban Billboard charts with his single “Beat it up” featuring Twista. That year he also collaborated with his label mate Bobby V. writing the song "Are you the right one" on Bobby V's album "Fly on the wall." produced by Cox. Since then, Bertell has moved on from Cox and Capitol Records to become an independent artist. In 2011, he wrote the song “Headboard” featuring Bow wow, T-Pain and Bobby V.

In the process of going independent, Bertell recognized the climate of the music industry and began on a mission to reinventing himself. After completing a total body transformation by losing 60 pounds and feeling renewed, Bertell released the song "Selfish love" along with his current single "She get it from her mama" which also features T-pain with a remix out that features Yung Joc ."She get if from her mama" has accumulated over 500,000 hits (and counting) on Vevo and is currently on the billboard charts at number 68. An expression of humility on Bertell’s face when he says, "If I never achieve my vision of excellence, the one thing I will always have is my amazing journey and the amazing people I met along the way."
