About Me
my name is Callie Young and i am a 26 year old country/folk pop artist and songwriter. i grew up in colorado on my family's cattle ranch, where i began my musical journey at the age of 9, in the footsteps of my older brother, Garrett Young. i started singing at local venues with him and began to fall in love with performing and writing music from that point on.
my brother and i came together to form a four piece band, the Garrett Young Collective, where we have played shows throughout colorado, new mexico, texas, and california. following a 3 week tour through texas in 2018, where we opened for Mike Ryan at the legendary Antone’s Nightclub, my brother and i were chosen to perform with Chevel Shepherd (winner of season 15, the Voice!). we toured as her band for 8 months, opening for Little Big Town, Lee Brice, Brother’s Osborne, and more.
since then, my brother and i have had some amazing show opportunities, including opening for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, the Bellamy Brothers, and Alex Williams!
now based in nashville, tn, i've been writing and recording as much as possible for my artist project. in 2025, i released eight singles, three music videos, and accumulated over 233K streams. 2026 will be filled with more raw vulnerability and emotionally inspired folk-pop music from me!
xoxo Callie

“Singer/songwriter Callie Young releases her new single, falling either way. It concentrates on the topic of vulnerability and uncertainty in romance. Young expresses anxiety about falling in love with someone who may not share her feelings. She’s literally caught in a state of emotional free-fall. falling either way has an energy that’s totally giving me Noah Kahan and Lizzy McAlpine vibes. But there’s also a little nod to Swift’s early emotional songwriting style in there too. The vocals you’re hearing are from the original demo Young recorded the night this song was written. Pretty rad, right?” - Lefuturewave
“For me, the most rewarding aspect of being an artist is when something that came from my heart and life experience touches someone else. I write songs in order for me to heal and make sense of my experiences in this life, and if the words that I write can also help someone else to cope or feel less alone in their experience, that is the reason I do what I do. My greatest love is songwriting, but there is also no other feeling like being up on a stage getting to perform my songs for people.” - callie young
