Turning Green into "Platinum"
444th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment
Feb. 8, 2015 | 2:03
New Jersey Army National Guard soldier, Staff Sgt. Nick Young, a combat cameraman, assigned to the Joint Training and Training Development Center at Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst is pursuing a career in the music industry. He is using the skills he's learned to hone while wearing green and possessing the "Heart of a Champion", to take a shot at platinum selling success.

Two years ago, Staff Sgt. Young and music partner Billy Joe Marrero signed a record deal with North Star Media, an independant record label based in Detroit, and started their rise into the spotlight.
