Vendela Astrid Young (born August 16, 1962[2][3]) is a Canadian musician. She is the daughter of journalist, sportswriter, and novelist Scott Young and his second wife Astrid Carlson, and the half-sister of fellow musician Neil Young,[4][5] who bought her her first amplifier in the 1970s.[6] After a brief run with 1980s glam metal group Sacred Child, she went on to record backup vocals on several albums through most of the 1980s and 1990s. Her vocals appeared on the Neil Young albums Unplugged,[7]Road Rock Vol. 1[8] and the Grammy-nominated[9]Harvest Moon.[10] In 2002, she performed lead vocals and played the bass guitar on rock band iST's album Pokalolo Paniolo. Young has also released three solo albums, Brainflower in 1995, Matinee in 2002 and One Night at Giant Rock in 2014, which was co-produced by Victor DeLorenzo.[11] In addition to writing a Canadian bestselling book, Being Young,[12] Young has also co-written music with many fellow musicians, including Nancy Wilson, Lisa Dalbello and the late West Arkeen.[13] Young is also a certified sommelier publishing award-winning wine lists.[14][15]
