Country music singer Chris Young has his own country music singers, that he looks to for inspiration. He talks about his influences as he was developing his own personal voice as a singer and songwriter, “You know, I grew up listening to everything from Marty Robbins to Keith Whitley, I listen to Brad Paisley a lot. I’ve been lucky enough to be friends with him and tour with him but I listen to a lot of his records.” While Chris’ voice is a staple in the country music world, he continues to surround himself with other country artists and genres that help him incorporate different sounds to his voice, “I listen to a lot of Tracy Lawrence stuff and I feel like In some of the ways I handle vocally what I do, a lot of its that I had a lot of other influences that were Jazz that were true R&B from that era so a lot of that blends into some of my delivery.” Chris’s new single, “Losing Sleep” is a prime example of his ability to incorporate sounds from these genres he keeps up with, but Chris admits, “at the end of the day I put my voice on anything, its country. I don’t think anyone’s getting confused about what my voice sounds like.” Hear more of Chris’s voice when he performs at the Fourth of July show in Nashville, TN or check out the full list of his tour dates at Chris Young Country dot com or click HERE

“I think a lot of the influences for me, especially when I start talking about what my voice actually sounds like. You know, I grew up listening to everything from Marty Robbins to Keith Whitley, I listen to Brad Paisley a lot. I’ve been lucky enough to be friends with him and tour with him but I listen to a lot of his records. I listen to a lot of Tracy Lawrence stuff and I feel like In some of the ways I handle vocally what I do, a lot of its that I had a lot of other influences that were Jazz that were true R&B from that era so a lot of that blends into some of my delivery and then a lot of where we’ll take a song especially in a writers room but at the end of the day I put my voice on anything, its country. I don’t think anyone’s getting confused about what my voice sounds like.”
