Named one of Shazam’s “Emerging Artists of 2017,” Brett Young has captured the hearts of fans everywhere through his honest lyrics and West Coast-meets-Southern sound, aptly dubbed “Caliville” style. “Destined for mass appeal” (Rolling Stone Country), Brett recently released his self-titled, debut album on BMLG Records February 10, 2017.

The follow-up single, “In Case You Didn’t Know,” is currently being introduced to Country radio and has already hit No. 1 on SiriusXM’s The Highway.
