Emily Lynch

At twenty-two years old, Emily Lynch sings with the experience, humility, and sweet vintage voice of an artist twice or three times her years. What she lacks in career mileage is made up for by the sheer raw and intrinsic nature of her talent. Emily Lynch is a rare breed of artist. Emily Sheridan Lynch was born on July 18, 1986 in Augusta, Georgia, and grew up dabbling with songwriting while singing in the church choir and high school chorus around the metro Atlanta area. After graduation, Emily pursued a college degree in Communications from Clemson University. She also garnered a collegiate athletics scholarship for Rowing and took home an ACC Championship her freshman year. After graduating from Clemson in May of 2008, Emily teamed up with the Atlanta-based Dove award-winning producer, Dan Hannon, and has freshly rededicated herself to living her dream of being a singer and songwriter. Hannon, who has developed acts such as Aaron Shust and Manchester Orchestra, heard something special in Emily’s voice and committed to help her cultivate her talents. “I think Emily has the ability, drive, and determination to become one of the premier female singer-songwriters of this era. I am pairing her up with some of the best songwriters and artists that I know in the hope that she will glean a healthy artistic influence to complement her already rich arsenal of talent”. So far, the team is producing some very respectable results. Emily’s debut EP, “A Little More”, includes five mostly acoustic songs that are a reflection of her spiritual and worship music background. “I am a Christian, but I don’t want to be pigeon-holed as a contemporary Christian artist. I want to write great songs that are authentic and genuinely inspired. It doesn’t matter what genre you want to put them in, I just want to create great music.” Hannon and Lynch are currently working on material for a full-length project to be released later this year. In the meanwhile, Emily is sharpening her live performance skills this spring and early summer with several shows in various southeastern venues.
