While Brett Young is a grown man, entirely capable of making his own decisions, if he ever needs someone to keep him in check, his mom is right there.
"My mom's been incredible," gushes Brett in a statement from his label. "You know, when this whole thing started happening, every little thing that she thought was me kind of losing sight of who I am or where I came from, she's always been that person for me.
"The biggest thing has been the tattoos," he continues. "You know, 'Hey, bud. I'm real worried next time I see you they're gonna be on your neck and your face. Like, where are we going with this? Who are your fans?' It's not that she's right about that, but it's just that she's always kind of keeping me in check.
"It's not that she's saying don't do that," he goes on to explain. "She's saying 'Are you, and what does that mean for your career? What does that mean for your image?'
"So, as quiet and in the background as she is, when she feels strongly about something, she speaks her mind."
