History

Young graduated from University of California, Los Angeles with a Bachelor of Fine Arts[2] and began her career by posting videos of herself playing music in 2009.[3] In 2014, Young released an EP titled Acoustics EP[4][5] and further expanded her discography with the release of a split EP with Natalie Evans in 2015.[6] In June 2017, Young released a second EP entitled Acoustics EP 2.[7]

Young also creates unique illustration and art pieces, including work on some of her own guitars.[8] One of her paintings serves as the cover for her band's album Technicolor, released in June 2020.[9]

Gear

As of 2019, Young plays two Ibanez Talman Prestige guitars with Seymour Duncan Five-Two single-coil pickups and custom sparkle finishes, and a 7-string, fanned-fret Strandberg that she has painted.

Young plays through Vox AC amps. Her touring amp is an AC30.[10]

During NAMM 2020, Ibanez announced her signature model, the YY10, a Strat-style Talman.
