Lyn Goddard Singer / Songwriter / Producer |
||
Having mastered the violin that her father had built for her second birthday, at the age of four Lyn was welcomed into the Royal College Of Music. Mentored by May Fletcher and the renowned Vanacheck, she was hailed as a child prodigy and was soon working the professional circuit making numerous television appearances impressing the likes of Yehudi Menuhin who observed of the budding composer "some people can be taught to put notes together but this girl was born with music in her Soul".
Whilst studying composition Lyn was offered the lead in 'Annie' at the Victoria Palace in London. This was to be the beginning of a burgeoning live career that to date has seen her perform at a host of venues including The Royal Albert Hall, The Royal Festival Hall, Hammersmith and Manchester Apollo's as well as tours in Sweden, Austria, Finland, Denmark, Spain, Germany and the U.S.A.
Her versatile style spans from the Gospel arena where she has performed with Incognito, Nu Colours, WWMT, Beverley Knight all the way through to pop sensation Sam Fox! Vocally she has ghosted for several very high profile artists who shall, of course, remain nameless.
With the benefit of this experience Lyn is now fulfilling her ambition to write and produce songs. Recently she has received commissions from EMI, Windswept Pacific and Universal Music. She has written and produced for the boy band Phixx and entered the dance scene through Motiv8, writing for Haji and Emmanuel, Dab hands, Mark Wilkinson, Steve Mac, The Soulseekerz, Digital Dog, Michael Gray, Phonetic Recordings, Roger Sanchez's Stealth Label, Rob Mello & Martijn ten Velden.
After signing 'Lifting Me Higher' to Slip N Slide the tune received "5 dancing men" from a DMC review and was voted "House Tune of the Week" after having already received most high acclaim at this years Winter Dance Music Conference in Miami. Lyn also wrote the first two singles for Mark Doyles' Fierce Angel imprint, with the first single 'The Answer' to be released soon
The notoriously selective Michael Gray who, as one of the worlds Hottest Dance Producers is responsible for several Top 15 UK Chart singles, chose Lyn to write on his 'Ready for This' track, hitting the prestigious No.1 spot in the DMC Buzz Chart, and No.2 in the M.W. Coolcuts chart. Mike was rather pleased with the result and they have now formed a formidable writing team.
Lyn is also currently co-writing with Stonebridge, Full Intention, Booty Luv, Rob Mello & Simon Fuller's 19.
