w/ $5 minor surcharge collected at the door 8pm E.N Young, born Ian
Allan Young, is a roots musician born and raised on the USA/Mexico
border in San Diego, California. E.N started playing piano at age 6,
which was the beginning of his musical life. His parents bought him a
white upright Samick Piano that he still records and plays on today.
At age 12, he broke his left arm and the doctor recommended some
physical activity to help recover. In response, his father bought him
a drum set to help with his recovery. Not only did it help physically
but E.N found a passion for percussion and drums. With his new
drumming talent, he reinvented himself on the piano and his musical
world was revealed. Reggae music has always been a part of E.N Young's
life. Growing up with his brothers, Manuel and Mike'Chunky Roots'
Marquez, reggae was around and the influence was strong. Daily, E.N
and his brothers would search for the next reggae tune that caught
their ears and lose themselves within the reggae vibes. Now, E.N is
more involved in the reggae scene than ever imagined. Not only has he
established a name for himself as an individual artist but also as a
writer and producer. E.N started performing when he was 15 years old
and in 2002 he became a member of the band Stranger. As a band they
put out four studio albums and toured on the West coast, including
Guam and Hawaii; which led them to win the San Diego Music Award in
2009. In 2005, E.N Young met Bonita/Chula Vista locals, Roots Covenant
and backed 30+ Jamaican artists. In 2010 E.N began pushing his solo
career by releasing his first debut album ‘Luck & Chance No More’
under his new label, Roots Musician Records, May 1 2010. He became the
first artist under RMR and began to tour as a solo artist. Along his
musical path, he has played onstage with many influential reggae
artists including Quino Big Mountain, Devastators, Johnny Clarke,
Triston Palma, Sammy Dread, Heptones, Everton Blender, Jah Batta,
Michael Palma, Sister Nancy, Edi Fitzroy, Anuhea, Tamarama, Stranger,
Carlton Livingston, Don Carlos, Slightly Stoopid, the Abyssinians,
Clear Conscience, Eek A Mouse, English Man, Gonzo, Tribal Seeds,
Milton Henry and more. In May 2011, E.N went into studio with Tribal
Seeds to produce their new EP ‘SoundWaves.’ The EP was released in
July and received world-wide attention. From Hawaii to New York, E.N
Young completed a fall national tour as the opening artist for Tribal
Seeds. A year after that E.N officially joined Tribal Seeds,playing
keyboard, melodica and singing.
