Brett Young was having a great time up on stage this year during the CMA Awards. It almost seemed like time stood still as he gave a one-of-a-kind performance of his hit song.

A California Country Boy Makes It Big

Born and raised in Orange County, CA – you wouldn’t expect this Southern California boy to have the voice he does. But when he opens his mouth to sing, he’s got all the talent he needs to sing his popular country songs.

A Good Year For Brett

And while his music career has been flourishing lately with his new Ticket to L.A. album release, he has had great luck in other areas of his life as well! After almost a decade of dating, he married the love of his life in a beautiful fairytale wedding.

A Merciful Performance

So when he got on stage at the CMA Awards to perform his hit song, “Mercy” – he was ready to go. All smiles, he gave a beautiful production of the tune. The audience went absolutely silent as his voice rang out through the hall.
