Growing up in a musical family made it almost impossible for Lynzie to become anything but a musician. Raised in between Guelph, Ontario and Severn Bridge, Ontario, Lynzie became a young babysitter to her sisters as her parents’ band gigged up to 6 nights a week. Her Dad’s acoustic guitar, Canadian artists in the 90’s, and classic rock cover bands fueled her love for singing and music.
At 16, Lynzie let her high school boyfriend borrow her parents’ car, which he promptly drove into a snow bank. As her punishment, she wasn’t grounded or left without a TV- no- she was forced to fill in for her mother and gig for an entire summer without pay. Its as if the lifestyle was chosen for her. After dropping out of University, twice, Lynzie decided a life in the arts was all she could dream of pursuing.
Since then, she has released two original albums. Her first, Find the Words, earned her radio airplay on over 40 Canadian radio stations. Her newest album, Something Wild, is her proudest feat to date. It was produced by platinum selling and Juno award winning producer Russell Broom and was supported by FACTOR. The album, full of melodic gems that are relevant, yet unique from pop music today, establishes Lynzie as a talented songwriter and proves her vocal ability with wild and reckless abandon.
Lynzie has also toured North America extensively, singing with Juno-Nominated band God Made me Funky, and has appeared at the Montreal Jazz Festival, NXNE, and Midpoint Music Festival. She has garnered over 11 Million views on YouTube for videos of her singing both originals and covers and was even tweeted by celeb blogger, Perez Hilton. She has appeared on Breakfast Television, Etalk, Entertainment Tonight, and Canada AM. Lynzie is a graduate of the Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts and has been nominated twice for the YWCA Woman of Distinction award for her contribution to arts and culture.
Recently, Lynzie finished filming her first music video for her single “Whoop Dee Doo” and is currently promoting her album, Something Wild. She can also be found writing about crafts and fashion (craftshion) on her blog, www.lynziekent.com, and coordinating all things live and creative for her company, Electric Blonde Entertainment and Events.
