Electronic composer, videographer, sci-fi junkie, apple computer expert and world class DJ are but a few of the hats worn by Claude Young. This Detroit native who now resides in Glasgow, Scotland (UK) and Tokyo (Japan) was born the son of legendary American WJLB radio personality, station founding member and production master Claude Young Sr. Young's father, through his radio show in Detroit, was partly responsible for huge hits for such artists as Isaac Hayes, David Bowie, Quincy Jones, Elton John, Falco, Al Green, Kraftwerk, Jody Watley, Erik B & Rakim, Run DMC and many more, crossing a diverse musical landscape during the 70's & 80's. Young's editing & production skills in the studio were taught to him by his father and also through years of experimentation alone.
The 90's saw Young working on a string of records for both independent and major record labels. Takkyu Ishino, Technasia, Gary Numan, Carl Craig, Joey Beltram, Inner City and 4Hero are but a few of the artists either remixed or edited by Young during his 16 year long music career. Relocating to London in 1995, Young embarked on a string of DJ tours and electronic music lectures world-wide, performing regularly. In 2002 Young relocated to Glasgow. In December 2004 he semi-retired from his tour activity to start the company cynet-media. Read more on Last.fm.
