A "studio singer", he is not. A "producer driven artist",
he is not. A "star" he is! L. Young's style is the
equivalent of what music used to be, "original". With
the recent flourish of such talented Kentucky artists
as the Nappy Roots, it was only
inevitable that this bluegrass-bred singing sensation
would soon take the music industry by storm. Taking a
chaotic blend of Kentucky bluegrass, country, gospel,
and hip-hop/R&B, L transforms it into a sound so
smooth it could pour from a bottle of Southern
Comfort!
Born and raised in Louisville, Ky., L. grew up singing
and playing the drums and piano for the church choir.
While at the Youth Performing Arts High School he
formed an a cappella gospel/jazz/R&B quartet, WALC,
which won the Grand Prize at the Youth Talent
International competition competing against over 1,400
acts from the U.S. and Canada. As a member of
Louisvilles Next Generation musical review, L. toured
the continental U.S. as well as Europe, Hawaii and The
Bahamas, while also starring in various musicals and
plays. After graduating from the Youth Performing Arts
High School, he attended Wright St. University where
he majored in acting. In his music career L. has
graced the stage with such artists as Patti LaBelle,
Sisqo, Toni Braxton, Busta Rhymes, Gladys Knight, Blackstreet, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Teena Marie and
Tyrese just to name a few.
Some of his credits include production of Babygirl
(Terrys Theme) for B2K on the 2002 Barbershop
Soundtrack, and writing and producing Nicole Sherzinger from the platinum selling recording group The Pussycat Dolls. L. also
has songs on the platinum selling Booty Call
soundtrack, Dangerous Grounds, The Long Kiss
Goodnight, and Phat Beach soundtracks.
With soothing vocals, creative writing, production and
arranging skills, arguably on a level above his peers,
L. is the definition of self contained Artist. His
dynamic and seemingly flawless live performances have
earned him a reputation in Los Angeles, where he now
resides, as a true entertainer. In a business where
electronic enhancements essentially create artists, L.
Young has managed to remain marketable, while still
being innovative and loyal to his identity as a
musician. "I pray that in my music somebody finds
hope, or some kind of inspiration. I just want my
music to effect some kind of change from the
Grandmamas all the way down to the chil'rens. Im
trying to save lives, mine included, one CD at a
time."
