Thanks for stopping by…
My name is Cole Young, and I’m a producer, recording engineer, drummer, and occasional mixer from Forest, VA. From my very first time in a recording studio, I fell in love with the process and nuance of making records. I got my start playing drums in my band, Vacation Manor, and being in the studio was always my favorite part. I loved looking over the shoulders of some great producers we got to work with and I was always so curious how they were doing what they were doing… At the end of 2020, we needed one more song for our debut album, but we had already spent our recording advance and we were totally out of budget. Classic. Anyway, we still needed that 12th song, and one weekend we ended up writing our song, “Can’t Run Forever”, and as we were making the demo, we realized we loved how everything sounded. So, out of necessity and a real enthusiasm for our “demo”, that ended up being the final version we released. That was my first release as a producer and since then, I’ve been making records for my band and all sorts of other artists, bands, and friends.

I’m currently working out of my studio in Forest, VA, doing mostly full song production, but also some remote drum tracking, and live band recording (an example of which you can watch here).

If you’re interested in making a record together, or just want to come by and record a few instruments or vocals for your own productions, please reach out to me at the contact tab in the upper right hand corner or directly to me at info@coleyoungmusic.com.
