LYNN BROWNELL
After being around music so much as a small child, I felt really safe just going up to
pianos and trying them out.
My Father worked at a music store selling pianos all through my school years. Sometimes on Sundays I would tag along with a friend to my Dad's store and mess around all day. This made me feel quite free with music, and I then developed a great love for playing and singing along.
At 15, because I had such a wonderful interest in music, My parents suggested that I take piano lessons. However, after just two lessons I realized that reading dots on a page was seriously cutting into my freedom with the piano, so two lessons was all I took.
At the beginning of my college years, I realized that what I wanted to do most in life was music. So I began to work. I played in practically every high class restaurant and club in the Twin Cities until relocating to New York in 1999. Somewhere during that big chunk of time when I performed everywhere, I became confident that I could write quality lyrics, and began to write songs frequently.
After my Father's passing at the end of 2006, I returned to Minnesota with a strong yearning to soon again return to New York. I am really enjoying having friends and family just minutes away.
I have recorded 12 CDs to date, and look forward to continued growth.
Music is my life; my blood-
my soul.
