We recently connected with Reece Young and have shared our conversation below.
Reece, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What’s something crazy on unexpected that’s happened to you or your business
I started this music thing out in college not really knowing what I was doing. I began a hockey player for most of my life. But for some reason always felt drawn to music. I knew I wanted to be on stage helping people with my songs. The goal is to help the listener through whatever life is throwing at them. Because that is what I needed at my lowest and music helped me. Last year I got to play two shows for 3 thousand people opening for the band “Underoath” in Chicago and Cincinnati. If you were to tell college Reece that he’d get this far, he wouldn’t have believed you.
Reece, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I try to make music that connects to people in more ways than one. I always leave the true meanings of songs a secret, so people can create their own antidotes for their problems with my words. I do have a non traditional type of sound. But it’s something that I can proudly call my own. Powerful choruses with emotional lyrics are what got me signed to a label. I intend to continue on my journey the same way I started!
Can you talk to us about how you funded your business?
On the surface, Im a solo artist that has toured the entire country. But deep down, the real me works two jobs to fund it all. It’s exhausting, but not once do I regret making this decision. I know it’s what needs to be done to make everything work. So as simple as it sounds, that’s what Im doing to do!
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
Writing with other talented musicians has gotten me to the next level. My producer and I have collaborated with so many awesome writers. Some that I’ve looked up to for years. Now I’ve got their contact in my phone. Crazy!
