Brett Young Facts

Brett’s first encounter with live singing was purely accidental. In the late 1990s, at his high school, he had filled in for the leader of a band, who could not make it to the venue, during a Christian worship meeting.

His first love though was baseball. He was a highly talented and skilled pitcher and had led his high school baseball team to a CIF (California Interscholastic Federation) championship. He had joined The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) after turning down pre-draft selection offers from 2 well-known professional MLB (Major League Baseball) teams – the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and the Minnesota Twins.

In the one season (2000) that he spent at The University of Mississippi, he had earned a varsity letter and posted 2 wins and 2 saves for the Ole Miss Rebels, the university’s intercollegiate athletic team. He had again lettered in his one season at Irvine Valley College. His promising pursuit for a career in professional baseball was unfortunately cut short in 2003 by a severe elbow injury while he was at California State University, Fresno.

In 2018, he had won the ‘New Male Vocalist of the Year’ award at the Academy of Country Music Awards.
