BIO

For pianist and composer, Denise Young, the path to becoming a professional musician seems a natural progression for this talented artist. Denise took to the piano with a natural affinity by first playing tunes by ear and began formal lessons at age five. Born in music tradition-rich St. Louis, Missouri, Denise was introduced to music through her musician father - also somewhat of a child prodigy, being self-taught on his mother’s player piano. She was also encouraged by her mother’s deep appreciation for music. As Denise recalls, “my mother often asked me to play 'Love Is a Many Splendored Thing' to lift her spirits. I believe that experiencing the positive effects of music is part of what led me further into realizing the depth of emotional expression through music.”
