ACE YOUNG is proud to make his Broadway debut in Grease. He achieved widespread fame in 2006 as a finalist on the hugely successful FOX singing competition “American Idol.” With weekly exposure to the 40 million-plus viewers of America’s most widely watched television program, Ace quickly became one of the most recognizable male faces ever to appear on “Idol.” A native of Denver, Colorado, he began his career in the entertainment industry at the early age of nine, performing at various venues throughout the West Coast. Following “Idol,” Ace traveled the country performing in 60 sold-out arenas across the nation as part of the American Idols Live Tour. He has played guest-starring roles on the popular television sitcoms “Half & Half” and “Bones.” In 2007, Ace was nominated for a Grammy Award for his co-write on fellow “Idol” Chris Daughtry’s quadruple-platinum hit single “It’s Not Over.” In April 2008, Ace released a popular single entitled “Addicted,” available in stores, on iTunes and Amazon. He recently formed a partnership with renowned record producer and songwriter Desmond Child, and together they co-wrote, recorded and funded Ace’s eponymous debut album – a revolutionary combination of rock, R&B and funk which utilizes a 30-piece string section with live horns. The eagerly anticipated album was released on the Pazzo Music/Fontana label on July 15, 2008. For more information, visit www.acemusic.com.
