Young was born in the UK in 1970, and now lives and works between New York and California. Young began his career as a photographer, and created the iconic image of George Michael for his “Faith” album cover over 20 years ago. He photographed other legendary musicians including Springsteen, Dylan and Morrissey, going on to direct over 100 music videos during MTV’s golden age before becoming an artist.

Young made his mark with a graphic, bold style, and his iconic diamond-dust screen prints are sought after by collectors all over the world. He finds inspiration in popular culture and the media, and his signature screen prints have immortalized iconic actors and performers from stage and screen, as well as some of the darker events of our sub-culture.  Young's 'American Envy' series is his latest examination of American society, and addresses the idea of the American dream, exposing its fragility. His images pay homage to Andy Warhol, the original embalmer of celebrity, and he creates silkscreen prints on one of the printing presses originally used by Warhol. Yet Young's style is completely unique, and he is renowned for his energetic live performances, where he demonstrates his ability to capture iconic images on canvas.
