Getting To The Bottom Of The Izzy Gold Mystery
UPDATE: Izzy Gold is really Chris Young and he’s been up to some big things these days. We have been chronicling the story of Izzy Gold Records for quite some time now, and we are impressed with the message Izzy and is trying to get across to us. Along with his business partner Brad Leinhardt, Izzy Gold Records has been working to record music for hospitalized children with cancer from the Ronald Mcdonald House. From making it Rain $10,000.00 in times square to rocking out on their halloween day parade float with the Blue Oyster Cult and Andy Hilfiger singing “Dont Fear The Reaper” these guys have certainly been hustling. We hear that Izzy Gold Records is now producing and managing some of our favorite DJ’s in town and we heard some rumors that a documentary is now in the works slated to air on one of our favorite music tv channels. We are excited to see what Izzy, Brad, and Liam Mcmullan the label’s creative director, have up their sleeves next. Stay tuned…



From our Tip Box:
“Is Francisco Civetta no longer Izzy Gold? Seems like Izzy Gold is now being played by Chris Young. Why aren’t Francisco Civetta and Brad Leinhardt friends anymore? Has there been a rift? Has Brad hijacked Izzy Gold? Does the mohawked Chris Young spin at Gold Bar? Please get to the bottom of this GoaG.”
Don’t worry, we are well into the bottom of this and will have it sorted out for you soon!

Thanks, GoaG, I served with Izzy Gold: I knew Izzy Gold; Izzy Gold was a friend of mine. Chris Young, you’re no Izzy Gold.

Chris Young is a way better izzy gold. he is an amazing producer and has worked with parliament funkadelic, ashlee simpson, and the ravonettes. to name a few. what did francisco ever do besides take credit for everyone elses creative work.
July 31, 2008 6:40pm
Merden, maybe you should look at http://www.izzygoldrecords.com and youtube (izzy gold makes it rain $10,000 in times square) before you make stupid senseless comments about who the real izzy gold and who the team consists of.
July 31, 2008 7:45pm
Chris Young has not produced albums by Ashlee Simpson and
The Raveonettes. He’s produced one song for each. He’s a horrific producer who lies, cheats and steals your money. Lies about every contact he’s ever said he’s had and lies that he’s Neil Young’s nephew.

Izzy Gold aka Chris Young is a fantastic producer. He recently produced purplefoam which is amazing.
July 31, 2008 8:20pm
I’m totally with the new izzy gold now
July 31, 2008 8:47pm
Chris Young iz definitely not the real Izzy Gold! The real Izzy Gold would never use greenbacks for the times sq. stunt. Everyone knows that he only transacts in the substance that bears his name.
July 31, 2008 10:13pm
Google don lie. Francesco Civetta be Izzy Gold http://www.coutorture.com/1736114 … think dat explains how he came up with the name once and fo all. But this here’s a free country, so Chris Young should still be allowed to go by Izzy something…how bout Izzy OLD…cuz that dude is ancient! Mus suck to have a name like “Young” when you pushin fity and look like da Montauk Monster…. And then pops go ahead and bic his dome…now why you gonna do a thing like that old man…thinkin’ you can shave off a coupla decades…and then you go sell yourself out by talkin’ bout rising gas prices like some out o’ town fogie….guess parents just don understand. Sounds like Izzy Old needs to play Farm Aid with his funkle Neil!

To the last post you should go get an education and learn how to read and write. You are trash!

I heard that Chris Young is such a wanker that one day he wanked so hard he produced “purple foam” all over Brad Leinhardt.
That’s where they got the name.
Respekt that.
August 1, 2008 5:10pm
Purple foam is the sh*t, i heard the tracks on myspace http://www.myspace.com/purplefoamnyc. and Chris Young produced the hell out of it. That camp is for real and are going to do big things.
August 1, 2008 8:24pm
chris young doesn’t spin at gold bar… and francesco is the real izzy gold… come on people just cause a weirdo claims they are an established personality, who has enough info and pics on google, puts bull shit info on their site, and acts like a moron paying people to believe that they are that person doesn’t mean that they are…. tomorrow lets all say we are a celebrity or known person and go to times sq and pay people to believe it… maybe chris will say he is Brad pitt next week….
August 5, 2008 4:56pm
Chris Young used to have sex with men. I know because I was one of em…he’s a dirty nasty scum sucking hole who would stick it anywhere he could, including my ass! But then he took my wallet…
check us out and educate the masses!

Chris Young/Izzy Gold & Brad Fagheart are all snakes. Chris/Izzy has zero talent, connections and less class. Leindhart’s a scumbag.
December 9, 2008 1:51pm
I know Chris Young aka Super Producer Chris Young. He is Very accomplished and his credits include; George Clinton/ parliament Funkadelic, Ashlee Simpson, The Raveonettes, Wu-Tang Clan, Richie Rich, Micah Jesse, The Crystal method, DJ Skribble, Castles in The Sky, The Four Tops and so much more. This guy is the real deal and a musical genius.

I have mad respect for anyone who throws out money and then records songs with kids from the ronald mcdonald house. He is like a mini oprah in nyc who is def givin people somethin to believe in.
February 26, 2009 12:28pm
nah he is just a faggot, the real izzy gold died a long time ago, this guys just a fake, all talk, anyone who knows this industry can see its all a put up show
March 16, 2009 5:45pm
Izzy Gold, has done more than i ever thought possible with my music career. My album sounds great, my photographs look amazing and I am making mad money from the music he released for me. Thanks Man

Izzy gold is working with some serious talent right now and is going to blow up. just sit back and wait.
May 26, 2009 8:45pm
I worked with Chris for quite some time and I can definitely tell you he is not Izzy. I met him as well, and although they work together closely they are different people. Chris is indeed acomplished, but he is extremely drug addicted and takes money from people promising to deliver hit worthy tracks. It is very sad, he could be a good man…I got to meet members of Wu Tang through working with him- he is definitely connected but people lose respect of him left and right when they find out what a sleaze bag he is.
Izzy Gold is really chris young. He is very accomplished and is a genius… ask any member of wutang and if you mention that you dont like chris young izzy gold to them they will laugh at you… Chris Young does good things for many people and has a lovely fiance and does not do drugs… justagirl here is some advice just get a life
I just finished up tracks with Izzy about two months ago and the tracks came out great. Couldn’t have been happier. I’ve scored meetings with three major labels and two of them are interested in hearing more tracks. They’ve given me a modest budget to work with and I know that I’ll be going right back to Izzy. Don’t believe everything you hear…listen to his songs and you’ll know who’s lying and who’s telling the truth.

Read album credits and look for izzy gold. If izzy has produced for the people he says he has OK no big deal but then why can’t you name what album or mixtape that you produced on? Why can’t you let people go open the booklet and look for your name on the actual booklet? When you google izzy gold all you see is good PR and publicity and the fact that the guy has money and connects. SO WHAT! That doesn’t mean you produced for any of the people that you say you produced for. Throwing $10,000 out into the street doesn’t mean you’re a super producer. I know producer(s) who can’t even do that yet have more credits than izzy gold. Look up Kane Beatz thats a real producer. Or Apex Productionz. Whoever izzy is, BACK YOURSELF UP. Don’t shit on people and ask what are they doing with their lives because they expect you to be able to legitamize yourself this is the music industry you KNOW firsthand there is a lot of smoke and mirrors. I don’t doubt that you could make a name for yourself it take money and relationships to do that and it seems that you have both, hopefully your talent comes along with that as well. But the point is, back yourself up. If people GOOGLE you and can’t see any of the SONGS you produced, much less hear them then there is a PROBLEM! And anyone IN the music industry that you try to present this too will look at you and LAUGH! Make yourself OFFICIAL. You have connects, you have money, you have relationships. USE THEM and make REAL MOVES. Don’t get caught up in trying to manipulate peoples perceptions of you. You will only WASTE your time, and never accomplish YOUR goal! I am a producer I am not going to say WHO I am, but I AM a well known producer, and I don’t write this OUT of any envy, hate, or negativity, I write this just to say keep it real with yourself and people will most likely be real with you. I KNOW there are a lot of haters in this game izzy but if you want to silence them you do it by making OFFICIAL moves! Meaning they have to be able to follow your moves and see that there is no bullshit at the end of the road!
