“A top talent” says Radio 2’s Bob Harris, “Sublime & Beautiful” according to Radio 2’s Janice Long Steve Young grew up on the Isle of Wight and after a few years of playing covers in local pubs he moved to London.

Within a few months he signed a record deal with ZTT/Warners after auditioning for a rock band based in Brixton. Rubbing shoulders with bands like Oasis, Pulp, Echobelly, The Light House Family, Ash, Coldplay and stars like Kate Moss the band embarked on a journey that took them to Reading Festival, tours with Ian Astbury (The Cult) and recording an album with producer Adrian Bushby who later produced albums for Muse.

Within a few years Steve’s career changed direction when he began work as a session guitarist scoring his first job with Lionel Richie. In a week that literally changed his life he played on the V Graham Norton Show, Good Morning and Parkinson backing Lionel on guitar with songs like Hello, Three Times A Lady and Dancing On The Ceiling. Shortly after this Steve joined forces with Peter Andre playing in his band for the re-release of Mysterious Girl that took Peter & the band to No1 on Top Of The Pops after a two week rollercoaster of promo shows.

In 2007 Steve was offered the chance to audition for ex Savage Garden frontman Darren Hayes. Hired on the spot he began a 5 year journey that included three world tours, two albums and even a co-write on the opening track of Darren’s 2012 Album ‘Secret Codes & Battleships’. Concerts with Darren included full band gigs at The Royal Albert Hall, supporting Roxette at Wembley, countless large venues across the UK, USA & Australia and even the opening of Abramovich’s new night club in Moscow. Steve also joined Darren on extensive acoustic ‘duo’ tours around the world playing in small theatres, book stores and on TV & Radio shows.

In 2011 Steve began working with West End superstar Ramin Karimloo who is best known for his role in Phantom Of The Opera and the lead role in ‘Les Miserable’. As his band leader Steve managed & orchestrated musicians all over the world to perform Country Acoustic versions of Ramin’s best known West End hits. Tours included South Korea, UK & USA.

Since 2014 Steve has been writing and releasing his own music and with three albums out plus fans all over the world his songs have touched the hearts of many. He is currently signed to publishing company Streets Music where his music has featured on adverts and used by Caffe Nero for their in store music.

“I first saw Steve at Chris Difford’s Songwriting Retreat and immediately recognised that he combines incredible guitar playing with warm and sensitive songwriting – he’s a top talent'”
– Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2

“Steve manages to blend English reserve with American folk to come up with something truly authentic. If Jack Johnson came from Welwyn Garden City, this is probably what he’d sound like”
– Nik Kershaw

Maverick Magazine This album is a journey, mixing up ‘almost’ pop and country but the guitar and beat bring it back to original enough to sit comfortably with the ‘new’ country audience. If you like well-considered, soul searching lyrics that tell a story and make you want to swing and sing, then this one’s for you - ★★★★

Steve Young put on a hugely energetic and lively show at the Millport Country Music Festival in the Maverick Acoustic Tent. He engaged with the crowd brilliantly, and left everyone wanting more when he finished. His vocal ability shone through all night, while the instrumental element was excellent." Christian Brown, Editor, Maverick Magazine

Steve is one of the most underrated singers on the UK Americana/Country scene, and one of the hardest working. “A Little North Of Nowhere” is an absolute must purchase double CD, especially the second disc, which offers a fantastic insight into Steve as a songwriter. W21 Music

What a great album.love the bonus disc and commentary . So personal . Really looking forward to launch night. Well done Steve - Ray Jones, TalentBanq Music Agency

I have been listening to Steve Young’s music for over 3 years and I continue to be amazed at the way he can turn out quality songs seemingly at will. A Little North of Nowhere is his most mature work to date and the melodies, the harmonies and the musicianship are all top notch. Every song tells a story and every story is worth listening to. - Alex Nairn, Brooklands Country Radio

“Steve takes you on a wondrous journey throughout his songs, with his story telling lyrics and brilliant vocal delivery” – John Weller, Nevis Radio

YES!! ” New Country UK” likes “New Country” from Steve Young UK!!
Indeed, he is a fantastic artist and ‪#‎Troubadour‬ is a fantastic album!! GO GET IT!!
‪#‎NewCountry‬ ‪#‎UKcountry‬ ‪#‎AltCountry‬ ‪#‎NewSongs‬ ‪#‎NewAlbum‬ – New Country UK (Blog)

It’s what used to be called Americana, touching on traditional country, but losing the twang in lieu of pop/rock. So it’s more for Eagles fans than it is for Waylon Jennings ones. And there are some rather nice tunes here.
After a brief intro, you’re off into the album highlight, “Out Of Our Minds”, which is a driving seventies country rock tune of the highest order. He gets a bit more New Nashville with the poppy “In My Dreams”, which would get some heavy airplay if he was over there instead of over here.
He goes all acoustic further on with the likes of “Old Friend” and “Life Changes In A Heartbeat”, but where he lays his hat he lands on gold. An excellent release which should do him a power of good – The Rocker (Blog)

Those who helped fund this Pledge campaign album will be well satisfied with their investment. It is a superb collection of songs from a singer with a great ear for a tune, and an album that you’ll keep returning to for a long time to come – Chris Farlie, W21 Music READ FULL ARTICLE

The collection of songs has a cool groove and a bit of swagger. It’s the sound of a laid back summer day. If forced to give some sort of comparison, I’d say that Steve Young’s music is a dose of Billy Joel’s vocals and songwriting, a dash of John Mayer’s blues on the guitar, a helping of Poco’s vibe, and a lot of Steve Young’s own uniqueness – Soundwaves Review READ FULL ARTICLE

Steve Young’s debut album, ‘Troubadour’ is both moving and deeply personal, with thirteen tracks ranging in style from pop and rock to country, and probably everything in between – Essentially Pop READ FULL REVIEW

All in all, a very accomplished debut album and one that’s worth repeated listens. There’s clearly a wide range of influences and I think Steve does a fine job of modernising some of the great singer-songwriters, whilst still keeping his own sound. Unusually, there are very few negatives about this album, the production is solid throughout, the melodies and harmonies work very well together and the vocals (and lyrics), as mentioned previously, are exceptional. Certainly an artist to keep an eye on for the future – Gigs Bands & Tours READ FULL REVIEW
