Meet… Reece Young

Reece Young

Born and raised in New Jersey, Reece Young, now based in Nashville, has put all the adversity he’s faced, his personal struggles, his anger, and his frustration, into a vulnerable and universally authentic sound. (Watch “Dark” below.)

"My goal with my music has always been to help listeners with whatever they are going through,” he explains. “When I was at my absolute lowest, relating to the lyrics in music was all I had in my corner supporting me. It truly saved my life, and I want to try and aid as many lives as I can with my own words.

“Dark’ is about the fear of death," he adds. "The chorus begs the question: What if I die tomorrow? How would I be remembered? Will I have lived a fulfilling life? It's all too much to think about at once, at least for me. The goal with this track (and project to follow) was to make my mark on the music scene that I've admired from afar since before I even thought about making music myself."
