Tracy Young started her career in music right out of T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia when she got a job at WPGC 95.5 FM as a Mix Show DJ spinning Hip Hop. At the time, a female DJ was almost unheard of and Tracy quickly rose the ranks at the station to become Music Director before relocating to Miami (where she currently resides).
Tracy Young has become a global electronic music celebrity as her demand continues to grow to an international level. As a Composer, DJ, Producer, and Remixer – Tracy Young has completed 7 musical compilations on her own label, FEROSH Records and “Officially Remixed” for over 100+ musical artists. In addition to her Grammy nomination, the Mayor of Miami has bestowed an honor befitting a Musical Star of Tracy’s caliber, as he has declared December 11 ‘Tracy Young Day’ in Miami.
