Callie Young’s Emotional Ascent

Callie Young has a rare gift for making the deeply personal feel universal. With her latest single, “Training Wheels”, the Southwest Colorado native channels the dizzying highs and lows of growing up into a lush, atmospheric soundscape. Her vocals, equal parts tender and commanding, glide effortlessly over layers of shimmering guitar and cinematic percussion, evoking the intimate warmth of Kacey Musgraves while maintaining the confessional rawness of Gracie Abrams.

The song unfolds like a journal entry, each lyric a snapshot of vulnerability and resilience. The bridge soars into an instrumental rush, mimicking the chaotic thrill of pedalling downhill—a moment of exhilarating freedom where life’s unpredictability becomes its own kind of beauty.

What sets Callie apart in the indie music scene is her ability to weave storytelling with a sonic palette that feels both expansive and deeply personal. “Training Wheels” isn’t just a song—it’s an invitation to embrace life’s uncertainty with courage and grace.
