His traditional country style and powerful baritone has gained Young many fans across the spectrum of country music, looking back to the likes of Hank Williams and Randy Travis, moving away from pop-country or country with rock influences which began to dominate the modern scene.
After winning Nashville Star, Chris Young was signed to record label RCA records, releasing his debut single, "Drinkin' Me Lonely" in 2006, from his self-titled debut album.

In 2009, Young released his second full length album, "The Man I want to Be," which, as well as his original songs, featured covers of Waylon Jennings "Rose in Paradise" and Tony Joe White's "Rainy Night in Georgia." The single from the bum, "Getting' You Home (The Black Dress Song)" became Young's first number one single, which was followed by another with the re-release of "Voices."
Following a Grammy award nomination, Chris Young had cemented his place in the world of country music. His talents garnered further chart success with the 2011 single, "Tomorrow," becoming his fourth straight number one. The album "Neon" was released the same year, featuring a further number one single, "You."
His fourth studio album "A.M," released in 2013, showcased two top ten singles, "Aw Naw" and "Who I Am With You."Young was selected to act as an ambassador for the CMA Songwriter's Series, which travelled to European countries in an attempt to spread the popularity of country music.
Chris Young emerged as the winner of the 2006 edition of Nashville Star and since then his career has been on a steady rise. With the winning blend of his likeable personality and his upbeat country sounds, the singer is assured for big things and by the size of his crowd, they will be there to support him.
There are few singers who look as comfortable onstage as Chris Young and few who seem so happy when entertaining crowds. You can see Young's mood becoming further and further elated as the cheers rise for fan favourites such as 'The Man I Want to Be' and 'I Can Take It From There'. During mass singalongs he is like a giddy child with his trusty guitar in hand.
He also has clear adoration for his tight supporting band who aid him in recreating his sounds and although the acoustic guitar is at the centre the drums and added percussion helps give the music a three dimension state. By the finale of 'Tomorrow' the crowd is in the palm of his hand and he takes a final bow to the last of the rapturous applause.
