Chris Young was born in Murfreesboro, TN, on June 12, 1980. His grandfather, Richard Yates, was a performer on the Louisiana Hayride. He showed interest in music from an early age, performing in various children's theater productions. While attending Oakland High School and Riverdale High School (Tennessee), he sang in his high school choir and began playing in local clubs. While attending college, he continued to tour, performing more than 150 shows a year.
At a gig in Arlington, TX, he was encouraged to try out for "Nashville Star," a television talent show on the USA Networks. Auditioning in Houston, TX, he entered the show and won in 2006. His win earned him a contract with RCA Records Nashville and late that year he released his debut single, "Drinkin' Me Lonely." It peaked at No. 42 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and served as the first single to his self-titled debut album, which was produced by Buddy Cannon. The album's second single, "You're Gonna Love Me," peaked at No. 48.
