Dennis Young

Profile:
Dennis Young is best known as the marimba player and percussionist for Liquid Liquid, a trend-setting early 1980's NYC band whose song "Cavern" was used by Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel in "White Lines".

Dennis Young is a self-taught musician who started playing drums at an early age. His curiousity led him to other instruments that include marimba, percussion, keyboards, guitar and vocals.

Young composes his own music, which combines influences from rock, jazz, dance, electronic and world music while incorporating unique rhythms and colorful musical textures.

He has released 9 solo albums to date and helped a number of local musicians with production and studio work.
