Brett Young wordt op 12 november tijdens de 56ste ASCAP Country Music Awards onderscheiden met de Songwriter/Artist Of The Year Award. De award wordt toegekend aan de songwriter die minimaal 2 songs heeft geschreven en opgenomen die de grootste airplay hebben verzameld gedurende een vooraf bepaalde tijdsperiode.
Brett scoorde achtereenvolgens 4 nr. 1 hits waaraan hij heeft medegeschreven waaronder “In Case You Didn’t Know” en “Like I Loved You”.
“I have been with ASCAP from the very beginning, and they have always made me feel like a part of the family, especially ASCAP’s Michael Martin and Robert Filhart,” says Brett. “I also want to give a huge thank you to everyone in the songwriting community and in country music who welcomed me right away. I moved to Nashville to be a songwriter and it was a happy accident that I also became an artist. I’ve gotten better because I am lucky enough to get into rooms with incredible writers, and I do not take that for granted.”
