Career
Born in Aylmer, Ontario, Lynn relocated to Nashville at the age of 21 in order to seek a career as a country music artist. In 2023, she released a musical genre crossing single, "Six Feet Deep," that topped Billboard's Hard Rock Digital Sales chart and inspired a lot of conversation about her genre. A self-proclaimed "metalhead growing up in the country," with influences ranging from Simple Plan to Sum 41, Lynn transitioned from country to metal. In 2024, she signed to Epitaph Records, according to Blabbermouth.net, taking the United states "by storm." In addition to appearing at Louder than Life and Aftershock, Lynn performed with Skillet and Seether while preparing to release her debut album, titled Black Magic, in June 27, 2025. The album was inspired by Lynn's struggles with mental health. Following the release of her debut, Soundboard opined that, while the album was "unimpressive," Lynn's interest lies in her transitioning from country music to metal, rather than the more typical inverse.
