About Yvette Young

Raised in a classical music household, Yvette started on piano at age 4 and violin at age 7, eventually competing in international piano competitions and touring with 2 different orchestras. Through her classical music experience, she taught herself how to play the acoustic guitar and eventually tackled the world of electric guitar. Her two-handed tapping/finger picked playing style has been described as "reminiscent of playing the piano", which makes sense with her classical upbringing. Her solo acoustic and piano projects consist of her singing and playing, but she also plays in a touring progressive/post-rock band called Covet which is primarily instrumental.
