Raised in Champaign, IL in a family of musicians, Lynn grew up singing harmony and playing with her parents, sister, and aunt. At age 5, she taught herself to play piano by ear, and by age 9, she began writing music.

Over the years, she performed in community theater, nursing homes, coffeehouses, bars, and other venues in the Champaign-Urbana area. She continued to enjoy writing, singing with various jazz groups, with her family, and performing her songs around the community.

After high school, she pursued her passions for music, people and healing by entering the Music Therapy program at Illinois State University. (Read more if you're thinking "What the heck is music therapy?").

Here, Lynn received her first formal training in music, and continued to perform both at school and in her hometown.  With the help of Seth Fein and a network of local musicians in Champaign Urbana, Lynn performed quite often in the C-U area on weekends when she could make it home from school.  She was voted "Best New Artist" in the 2006 Local Music Awards, hosted by WPGU, a popular Champaign-Urbana, IL radio station. At 19, she recorded and released her first full-length album, Umbrella and gigged around for about 3 years as a solo, acoustic act and with various jazz/folk groups from the area. 

In the fall of 2008, Lynn studied abroad in Florence, Italy for a semester where she took several classes, performed regularly at Bebop Night Club, became active in Laughter Yoga, and traveled around Europe. 

Now 23, she has completed both her Music Therapy coursework back in the states and has just released her second full-length album, "YES!".

In April 2010, she will move to the Minneapolis, MN area (St. Louis Park, to be exact) to work as a Music Therapy intern for 6 months at a hospital, and with a local Parkinson's and Hospice program.

She will keep you posted of her present music/travel endeavors.
Glad to meet you.
