Brock Young is a 13 year old singer/songwriter from Kingston. I started my music journey at 10 years old with the music program at my school, Rideau Heights PS. From there,  sitting around the campfire play brought my voice out. I then started busking and now I am recording my first original single, at a world class studio in Leipers Fork TN. When I'm not doing music. I enjoy being an Air Cadet with the 58 Squadron in Kingston and fishing on the dock at our trailer.
