Artist description My name is Drew Young, and I was born in Northridge, CA on August 22, 1978. I first became interested in music when I saw the movie "Back to the Future". When Micheal J. Fox rocked out on the song "Johnny B. Goode", I told myself, "Oh yeah, that's what I want to do." From then on, I started playing the guitar. When I was about six, I got my first guitar on my birthday. It was an Elecktra. I picked it up, played "Jingle Bells" once or twice and put it in the case for about seven years. I felt the guitar was too heavy anyways. By the time I was in seventh grade, I heard the song "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses. I decided that it was time to pick up the guitar again. By this time, I started rockn' out to the whole heavy metal era. By eighth grade, I formed my first band Crystal Haze. The members were my best friends from the neighborhood, and my brother. To make a long story short, I finally formed the band Sovereign. We opened up for bands like Sevendust, Bill Ward of Black Sabbath, The Atomic Punks, and Anthrax. We performed at places like the Music Fest, Key Club, Whiskey, Roxy, etc. We also released an independent record called, "Immortal Embrace" at Sam Goody record stores. This all happend before my Senior year in high school. After the band departed, I started expanding my musical interests. I now listen to anything from Motorhead to Madonna. I love anything that is real and has extreme expression. I've even become interested in film which I now am shooting a video on my song "Express Lane". I am majoring right now in film at College of the Canyons. I am hoping to transfer soon. My two passions are milk, and surfing! I've also become a solo artist.
