Curtis Young has an innate
passion and possesses the lyrical ability to pursue his artistry in the music
industry. Being the confirmed first born
of legendary Producer/Artist,
Dr. Dre, it's within
Curtis' DNA to exemplify an extraordinary ability to spit bars just as easily
as he breaths. Curtis grew up in
Compton, with his birth father's identity hidden from him by his mother, due to
personal reasons that were not disclosed to Curtis. He had to figure out life without the guidance
of a strong male influence, which further strengthened his moral character and
his dream of obtaining success as a lyricist.
Curtis was introduced to his father at the age of twenty, after it was
confirmed by a DNA test that he was the son of multi-platinum musical genius, Dr.
Dre. Having grown up listening to such
artists as Wu Tang, Tupac, Jay Z, Biggie, and Dr. Dre; Curtis found himself
wanting to produce the type of music circulating the mainstream market place
during that time. He caught the musical
bug at the tender age of twelve and recorded his first song at fifteen. This helped make up his mind to pursue a
career as a recording artist and derive his income from it.
Having released,
"Doctor's Note" on iTunes, with plans of re-releasing it, Curtis has
already made his next move to release his upcoming album titled, "Product
Of My DNA", in Summer of 2013.
"Product Of My DNA", tells tales of overcoming different
struggles in life all while conveying his message through, "Feel
Good" music. Producers and featured
artists on, "Product Of My DNA", include C-Ray, Mailman, Crooked Eye,
Nat Powers, and Terique; just to name a few.
Being the owner of his own entertainment company called 'Forever Young',
affords Curtis the freedom to produce and release the type of music which best
describes him and his experiences without having to conform in the way that
some artists who are signed to major labels have to! Curtis also has plans of giving other artists,
who are signed to his company, the opportunity to showcase their talent and be
able to release their music through various mediums.
Curtis has made a
conscious effort to create his own name and brand in the entertainment industry
without receiving the stamp of approval from his famous father! He hopes to earn the respect of his peers for
his dedication to always better his craft and diligent effort to grow the
'Curtis Young' brand. Curtis' message to
his supporters is to, "Stay positive, humble, focused and center your life around
God's teachings. Never give up on
pursuing your dreams, stay focused on your goals and always be about your
business." Curtis Young will
continue his effort to spread his music on a national level until he achieves
the magnitude of fame and receives acknowledgement from music connoisseurs as
well as fans. His journey has just begun
and will continue to grow for as long as he decides to produce and release
music that inspires and moves his audience. We wish Curtis Young success and
support his dream of becoming a legendary artist!
