“It’s been four-and-a-half years that I’ve been in Nashville,” says the chart-topping Southern California native. “A lot has happened, the first record has been really good to me and I’m really, really proud of it. But just having a new batch of songs – it’s like breathing new life almost.”
He has four straight platinum-certified #1 singles, one 3x platinum, and an ACM for New Male Vocalist of the Year. Young worked once again with producer Dann Huff, executive producer Jimmy Harnen and engineer/mixer Justin Niebank on the new album.
“I decided to name the album 'Ticket to L.A.' because flying home to Los Angeles has become such a big part of my life,” Young explains. “A lot of the first record reflected a kind of hard point in my life when I was moving from Los Angeles to Nashville, but I’m in a completely different place now. I’m so happy, and I think you can really hear that shift on the new record."
Young trades vocals with Gavin DeGraw on “Chapters” while expressing personal sentiments co-writing 10 of the album’s tracks alongside Shane McAnally, Hillary Lindsey, Lady Antebellum’s Charles Kelley and more.
Currently nominated for New Artist of the Year CMA, Young became the first debut country artist since 2014 to garner 3x platinum certification with “In Case You Didn’t Know.” The smash hit’s official music video is currently closing in on 200 million views, and Young was the only artist of 2017 with two videos on Vevo’s Top Country Videos list.
He’s going on the road with Thomas Rhett’s Life Changes Tour, and will headline this year’s CMT On Tour – beginning in November. For additional information, visit brettyoungmusic.com.
