Born and raised in Guelph, Ontario, Lynzie spent her childhood surrounded by music. Her father managed and was the lead guitarist of the successful band Double Exposure while her mother was the lead singer. At a young age, she began performing with the band at some of Muskokas most prestigious resorts, corporate events, and Ontarios most popular casinos. Inspired by her fathers songwriting, Lynzie began writing her own music at the age of 18 and at 22, released her first original album entitled Find the Words. Her writing style is inspired by artists such as Heart, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morrisette, and Jann Arden. The lyrics and stories of her songs are personal and honest depicting situations that many young women encounter. Most songs are written collaboratively with her father—a great advantage to the young singer as he is a seasoned singer/songwriter. Lynzies relationship with him is best described in her song Daddy, a heart felt tribute to his dedication to music and family. From break-ups, to first loves, to the need for change, Find the Words is an album diverse in lyrics and style. Lynzie is the former lead singer of Juno-nominated (Best R&B/Soul Recording of the Year) Toronto nu-funk band God Made Me Funky. Snagging this gig in early 2007 brought non-stop North America wide touring. In 2007, God Made Me Funky headlined at The Montreal International Jazz Festival and The Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival in Fredericton. They were also the featured band in American Pie Presents Beta House. In March 2008, God Made Me Funky released its third album Enter the Beat to a packed crowd at The Opera House. Lynzie parted ways with the band in late 2008 to pursue her solo project. Lynzies television appearances include Breakfast Television (Toronto and Calgary), Etalk, Entertainment Tonight Canada, Canada AM, Buddies on the Vine, Inside Jam and Real Women Live. Stand out performances include NXNE Music Festival, The Montreal Jazz Festival, Opening for Afrika Bambatta, Sick Kids Herbie Day and as a Top Ten Finalist in the Toronto Song Contest (2009, results pending) for her Song Electrify Toronto. Lynzie released her first original Christmas single Mrs. Claus Laments (Stay Home with Me) to radio in early November 2008. The song is a vintage-vibe ballad that tells a love story with a cheeky twist. It was played on over 40 radio stations nationwide. In early 2009, Lynzie released her single New Red Shoes to radio and it has received airplay on over 40 stations nationwide so far. In 2009, Lynzie produced The New Red Shoes Tour promoting her single and benefiting womens shelters across Ontario. She has also been nominated for the prestigious YWCA Young Woman of Distinction Award, honoring women who act as role models in their field and who give back to their community. Early 2009 also marked the launch of Lynzies own entertainment company- Electric Blonde Entertainment

  • Wow, you guys are both really great...you deserve recognition much more than anything I've heard on the radio in a while.

  • This is great :) this stuff sound so much better than the over-produced pop stuff like 'secenteen' - this with just the voice and guitar showcases your voice so much more, and there's so much more emotion.
