The “I Rise (Tracy Young Pride Intro Radio Remix)” for Madonna won the Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording in 2020, marking the first time a female producer/remixer has ever been nominated and won in that category since its inception in 1998.

Young was born in Virginia and began DeeJaying at frat parties when she was at the University of Maryland. She graduated with a degree in Speech Communication, and began her music career working as a Mix Show DJ for WPGC 95.5 in Washington in the early 1990s. She worked her way up to Music Director, before moving to Miami where she became the Southeast Regional Promotions Director for Interscope Records. She thrived as a club DJ, becoming a celebrity favourite on South Beach, particularly with her residency at Liquid. But it was when she met Madonna that her production career really soared. And since then she has remixed 14 tracks to date for the iconic musician, including Music, Hung Up, 4 Minutes, and, of course, the Grammy Award-winner, I Rise. She is also a familiar face on reality TV, having appeared in such shows as Dancing with the Stars, House of Style, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Sisqó’s Shakedown.
