Your Song, Your Impact
Join us in a unique opportunity to use your musical talents to bring people together! Future Youth Records, in collaboration with the legendary Jesse Colin Young, invites young songwriters to participate in The Perfect Stranger Songwriting Contest. Use your unique voice to inspire change.
As the lead singer and founding member of The Youngbloods, Young sang one of the all-time most unifying songs, “Get Together,” taking it to #5 on the Billboard charts in 1969. He later embarked on a successful solo career and The Perfect Stranger is his tenth solo album showcasing collaborations with such legends as Michael McDonald and Carly Simon.
