Gary Youell is a lifelong Connecticut resident who has been writing songs since he was a young teenager. His early career thoughts were to be a professional composer and performer. After attaining a music degree at UCONN, he hit the road with his band, Holy Moses! Life on the road grew old and the realities of making a living became apparent which pushed Gary to pursue an alternate passion;business.

A successful business career has now allowed Gary the time and financial resources to return to his musical roots. Over the past two years, he has completed several tunes and dusted off some older ones. While he writes in several genres, he is now focusing his effort within the contemporary country genre writing all of his own lyrics and music. Most of his tunes have "life messages" which he hopes will resonate with each and every listener.

Gary's primary priority continues to be his family, including wife, Trish, and their five wonderful children.
