ASCAP member Chris Young of Murfreesboro, Tenn. beat out two other finalists to win the fourth edition of the "Nashville Star" talent search during the series' finale, Tuesday May 2, on the USA Network.
The 20-year-old singer was chosen by viewers. Vote totals weren't immediately announced.
Young won a recording contract with the RCA Label Group, plus other prizes, including an appearance on the Grand Ole Opry.
"The whole time, I've just been trying to get to this moment," he said moments after the show ended. "You can't beat fan-voted competition."
The finalists were chosen from 10 contestants culled from tens of thousands of hopefuls during a nationwide talent search.
ASCAP members Wynonna Judd and Cowboy Troy hosted the show's fourth season. Phil Vassar (1999 ASCAP Country Songwriter of the Year) was one of the judges.
The USA network series, which combines elements of reality TV with a talent competition, has launched the recording careers of Buddy Jewell and Miranda Lambert.
