PITTSBURGH, PA (PittsburghNewsWire.com) — Joey Young, a 19-year-old singer/songwriter from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has made it into the quarterfinals of Audacy’s “Opening Act” Competition. Audacy recently announced that the winner will open for Coldplay, Doja Cat, Black Eyed Peas, Shawn Mendes and more!

 

Joey’s talent and passion for performing paved the way for him to star in over 50 musical productions! After venturing out of musical theatre he further developed and explored his unique musical style by performing at local open mics and events.

 

Inspired by Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande, Joey describes his vibe as New age Electro-Synth dance pop music with an R&B undertone. He brilliantly conceptualizes, designs and styles every element of his inimitable art, music videos and live performances.

 

Selected as a contestant in this fall’s Audacy’s 2021 “Opening Act” competition, Joey is focused and excited. He is humbled and honored to compete to win $10,000 and the opportunity to be the next “Opening Act” at a star-studded showcase in the famous “Hollywood Bowl”.

 

Says Joey, “My music and the charitable initiative of this competition intersect as they both focus on mental health.”

 

Joey Young is the definition of dedication, hard work and drive. Joey Young IS the moment and is someone to watch out for. He has what it takes to turn dust into diamonds.
