Lyndy is a talented musician, a gifted writer, a wonderful mother and friend. She has class, and style, and is just so well rounded. Your day is automatically made better when she’s part of it. Listen to her music here. I also recommend purchasing both of her albums, you can do so in a number of ways including iTunes and Amazon. Keep up with her on facebook here. 

If a friend had to describe you but only had a couple of sentences to do so, what would that friend say?
I think friends would say that I’m a dreamer, and that I’m a fantastic dream believer. If you were to call me and tell me that you want to move to Greece next week even though you don’t have a job, or you want to open a yarn store because yarn is your calling, or that you are going to run a marathon that you haven’t trained for but you totally think you’d win, I will say “YES! DO IT! THAT will be amazing. I believe in you.”

What drives your passions?
Honesty. Human Connection. Love.

Do you believe music has the ability to change the world?
I believe music is a catalyst for change, but change can only come from people. Music can sooth and strengthen and inspire you to take action. But the challenge is holding on to that inspiration when there isn’t any music playing.

You have three small children, what do you hope they say about you as they grow older?
I hope they say that I am always there when they need me.

I hope my children feel like I have given them enough of my time and attention. I often go to bed at night thinking about the things I didn’t accomplish that day. And there are days when I wish so badly I would have just played a little more with my kids. My happiest, most fulfilled days are the days where there were messes, and silliness, and I might not have gotten a lot of work done, but we sang songs, wore costumes, built forts, held hands, ate cookies and just enjoyed each others company. I want my kids to feel like I’d choose to be with them over anything. I do have my moments when I need to have my own time. Need to feel like my own person. But it doesn’t take long before I need my people with me to be my happiest person.

When was the moment you decided music was your best outlet?
I don’t think I ever decided it was my best outlet. It just always was. Music was a huge part of my home as a child. I wrote songs as a kid, in high school and in college. It was always for fun and it made me incredibly happy. I wanted to be able to give that gift to other kids. I went to school to become a teacher with the hope to use music to uplift and encourage young people. In 2008, my Sister-in-law and I opened a performing arts preschool called Talent Sprouts in Santa Clara, Utah. I taught musical theater workshops, beginning guitar, voice and piano lessons. It was a wonderful experience. It wasn’t until the summer of 2010, when I directed and narrated a production of The Wizard of Oz, that I admitted to myself that performing was my best and my most favorite outlet. Shortly after, I started writing songs again and started calling myself a songwriter.
