Who's Lynnzay?

Malaysia Pop & RNB Singer Songwriter.

Introduction Stage

Growing up Lynnzay developed a love for dance. At the tender age of 6, when she was still in kindergarten she has already formed her own dance group. It then developed to performing at school events, concerts and eventually continued through her years while studying Mass Communication at University of Mara Technology.

It all began when people started noticing her expertise in dance and when requested to choreograph a dance routine, she accepted the challenge. Since then, friends would come up and ask her to teach them on how to dance. When asked where did she learn how to dance? “It was self-taught!” A huge Britney Spears fan, she used to watch music videos of her and would try to emulate the artist’s dance moves.

After graduating, she joined an indie group called “Apple Juice” and was placed as a lead singer. Although her main interest was still dancing, she jumped into the opportunity to try her skill in singing. The group only lasted for about 3 years as it was a suka-suka kinda thing. Still pursuing dancing, she auditioned for the 2nd season of “So You Think You Can Dance?” competition and was selected in the top 30.

Starting Off In 2010, she, her friend and her sister formed an all-girl sing and dance group called “Senoritas” signed under R Talents (a Management Company own by Malaysia RNB singer,Reshmonu). They were dubbed as being the Malaysian version of Destiny’s Child. The trio eventually became a duo and in 2011 and they decided to part ways and move on with their own solo careers.

Determined and driven by passion, by May 2012, Lynnzay released her first ever single “Jejaka Idaman 2.0”, a remixed rendition of a song made popular by Raja Ema in the 80s composed by DJ Fuzz. Trying to make her mark in the local music scene, her attempt as a solo artist received mixed reviews. It was said that the original singer didn’t approve of her remixed version. The controversy was cleared out as it was a misunderstanding and she even gotten the approval of its original composer, Fauzi Marzuki.

Wanting to solidify her presence in the Malaysian music industry, she then released her 2nd single in English “Angel Dust”. Again, controversy was inevitable. This time around the usage of 2 plus-sized backup dancers in her music video wasn’t highly accepted. “It’s not a gimmick, it’s about getting your message out that there’s no discrimination if you have talent.” Staying true to herself, she believes everyone should embrace anyone’s talent no matter what size they come in.

“UNTUK KAMU” Now, with the help of a famous Malaysian Publicist, Joe Saiful, Lynnzay is more convinced that she has found the formula to go further in this industry. After much consultation, “Untuk Kamu” was chosen to re-introduce her as a solo artist to the Malaysia audience. Describing her music as a laid-back dance pop music, she hopes to hit both the Malay and urban market. “This single has a non-provocative and street-smart vibe to it”.

Most of the songs that will be included in her full album will have a remixed version. She explained that her music is more to R&B, Pop, Dub-step and a mish-mash of different genres. Wanting to give her best, she writes and composes most of the songs on her own. Because she wanted the very best, it took her almost a month just to produce this particular single. Influences.

It’s no doubt that Britney Spears has influenced her in so many ways. “A true entertainer is able to sing and dance all at the same time.” Still brushing up on her vocal skill, she wishes to deliver remembrance-worthy performances in the future. She looks up to likes of Ne-Yo, Usher, Ciara and Janet Jackson.

The Name Why the name Lynnzay? Wouldn’t it be mistaken with Lindsay Lohan? Growing up, she had a bunch of nicknames. Always confused of which nick to be used, she decided to combine all those nicks and it finally derived to Lynnzay.

Pastime Admitting that she’s a boring person, Lynnzay don’t really hang out that much. She prefers to brush up on her singing and dancing skills at the studio. She hopes one day to open her own studio and dreams about producing more sing and dance groups. A strong supporter of the local film industry, she’ll watch just about everything. “If we don’t support our own products, who will?” Not only that, she writes songs and also produces music videos for local indie bands under her own production, LA Entertainment which also include her own record label and music production, LA Records and LA Production.

Not Another Clone? Always being compared with Mizz Nina, Lynnzay said that if you were to listen to her songs closely, they’re completely different. Nonetheless, she felt honoured being associated with such a big name in the industry as she looks up to Mizz Nina and very proud of her achievements. “I don’t mind really, she’s super-talented, successful and I respect her as an artist. People will still compare, no matter what and they don’t want a clone. So give me a chance to prove myself.”
