Ace Young Career

After graduating from high school, Young wrote “Reason I Live,” which was featured on the soundtrack of the 2000 film The Little Vampire. Young relocated to Los Angeles, California in 2001 to further his music career. He eventually met Brian McKnight and was offered the opportunity to open for McKnight and New Edition. Prior to auditioning for American Idol, he landed a guest-starring role in an episode of Half & Half as Ace Blackwell.

Ace Young American Idol

Young auditioned for American Idol in Denver, Colorado, after spending over four years in Los Angeles without a record deal. In his televised audition, he sang Westlife’s “Swear it Again.” Brett Young was introduced, with the name “Ace” in quotation marks.

Later, he told producers that he preferred the name Ace, and he was no longer referred to as Brett on the show. Young made it through Hollywood Week and sang “Father Figure” by George Michael for his live Top 24 performance. He also sang “Butterflies,” a song by Michael Jackson.

There was a brief controversy during the week that featured Queen’s music and the band’s surviving members as mentors. The editing of Young’s pre-performance package by American Idol made it appear as if he had offended Brian May and the rest of the band by suggesting a change in the arrangement of “We Will Rock You.”

May defended Young a few days later in a blog post, clarifying that he and the band felt their mentoring session was a productive exchange of ideas for the song’s arrangement.

The theme for the week Young was eliminated was “Songs from the Great American Songbook,” with Rod Stewart serving as mentor. Young performed “That’s All.” For this performance, he changed his appearance, slicking his hair back and dressing up in a suit and tie.

He received mixed reviews from the judges and was joined by Chris Daughtry and Paris Bennett in the bottom 3.

The song peaked at number 50 on the Hot Adult Contemporary sales chart. He also formed a band and began performing across the country.

Young appeared in the Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade in 2006, alongside fellow idol finalists Paris Bennett, Kevin Covais, and Mandisa.

He also founded the “Highrollers With Heart” charity, which raised $300,000 to assist Children’s Hospital in Denver in the construction of the Family Hospitality Suite. “It’s Not Over,” Daughtry’s debut single, featured a chorus written by Young.

On December 6, 2007, the song was nominated for Best Rock Song at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards. Young received a songwriting nomination alongside co-writers Gregg Wattenberg, Mark Wilkerson, and Chris Daughtry. Young was named a Celebrity Ambassador for the Muscular Dystrophy Association in January 2008. (MDA).

Young took over the role of Berger in the Broadway revival of Hair after “Grease,” succeeding Will Swenson. Young took over the role in March 2010 and stayed with the show until it closed on June 27, 2010.

He made an appearance on the twelfth episode of the second season of the reality television show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in November 2011. Following the success of Hair, Young founded the now-defunct “Young Brothers Entertainment.”

Outside of Diana DeGarmo and Young, the company was partnered with Mailboat Records for digital releases, but none of the associated acts released music through the company. In May 2012, Young’s single “I Wanna Fall in Love Again” was released on iTunes.
