United Talent Agency (UTA) has signed Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Chris Young for global representation in all areas.

The signing comes as Young approaches nearly two decades in country music. The multi-Platinum singer-songwriter’s tenth studio album I Didn’t Come Here to Leave marked a bold new chapter, amassing over 80 million global streams to date. Over the past year, Young has played multiple headlining shows spanning North America, and also performed alongside Miranda Lambert, Jon Pardi, Ashley McBryde, and Scotty McCreery. He has made major festival appearances at The Long Road Festival, The Calgary Stampede, Country In The Park, and YQM Country Fest. Young is set to continue his holiday tradition with the upcoming “An Acoustic Christmas Tour” this December.

“I’m very excited to move into this new chapter at UTA. I really feel like there is a plan and a vision for growth and moving forward,” Young says.

UTA Agent Brian Hill adds, “Chris is a world-class singer, songwriter, and live performer. We’re excited to welcome him to the UTA family, and we look forward to building upon the incredible foundation he’s already established. This is only the beginning!”

A member of the historic Grand Ole Opry, Young has amassed 14 No. 1 singles and 11.9 billion on-demand streams throughout his career. He has consistently achieved commercial success with 56 RIAA certifications for his recording, writing and co-producing credits, and has received numerous CMT Awards throughout his career along with a number of ACM, AMA, and CMA nominations.
