L.A. Young is a soul, jazz, blues, and R&B vocalist whose voice has been compared to Chaka Khan meeting Phyllis Hyman — a rare blend of raw power and silky emotional depth. A native of Ohio with deep roots in the steel mill communities of the 1980s, she became the first female crane operator in Ohio's steel industry at age 18 before answering her true calling to the stage.

Her career spans landmark stages and elite collaborations: from performing at President Clinton's Second Inauguration to opening for Frederick Anthony Jackson, recording with jazz legends Pieces of A Dream, and currently producing new material with iconic producer Norman Connors. Her single "No One Can Love You More" reached #1 on UK FM Radio, with multiple top-5 UK hits following.

A 2018 Maryland Music Awards Artist of the Year and Woman's Basketball Hall of Fame Inductee, L.A. Young is known for electrifying live performances and her acclaimed Phyllis Hyman tribute show, which has drawn audiences from across the country. She performs regularly with her band The Unusual Suspects and is available for concerts, festivals, corporate events, galas, and private engagements.
