BMLG RECORDS' BRETT YOUNG was named the 2018 ASCAP Country Songwriter-Artist Of The Year and will be celebrated at the "56TH ANNUAL ASCAP COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS" slated for MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12th in NASHVILLE. The Songwriter-Artist Of The Year Award is bestowed upon a songwriter who has written and recorded at least two songs that, collectively, have amassed the greatest airplay during a predetermined period. YOUNG's "In Case You Didn't Know" and "Like I Loved You" will be among the most-performed songs honored during "56TH ANNUAL ASCAP COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS."
"I have been with ASCAP from the very beginning, and they have always made me feel like a part of the family, especially ASCAP’s MICHAEL MARTIN and ROBERT FILHART," said YOUNG. "I also want to give a huge thank you to everyone in the songwriting community and in Country music who welcomed me right away. I moved to NASHVILLE to be a songwriter, and it was a happy accident that I also became an artist. I’ve gotten better, because I am lucky enough to get into rooms with incredible writers, and I do not take that for granted."
