Christian Young was born in Auckland, New Zealand at the Martyr Hospital in Mt Albert on a rainy Tuesday at 7:02 pm. He learnt to play the piano from a young age but switched to the electric bass in his teenage years in order to become less of a geek. The resulting metamorphosis was minimal but enough to convince him that playing bass was the only way he was going to pick up. He moved to Sydney in 1997 to begin a Bachelor of music (Jazz Performance) at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Eight years later he graduated with a newfound passion for minor/major 7 chords, harmonies in 4ths, and wicked pentatonic lines. The only subject he failed went by the highly academic name of "Radical Rock" (43%). Christian has played with a wide variety of musicians during his Career, some memorable highlights include; The Seattle men's Choir (the worlds largest and most prestigious gay choir), performing with the woman who sang the theme to..."The Nanny", and the highlight of his career...playing bass for legend crooner...Kamahl. In order to look more 'buff' onstage Christian paves the backyards of Sydney's suburbia during the week (except when its raining...or the crickets on...or he has a hangover). Christian joined "the horns" in 2005 and is still trying to get over the trip to Thailand.
