Lindsey Yung

Biography

Lindsey Yung has steadily become a prominent singer/songwriter in the San Diego music scene. She has been garnering applause from fans and praise from critics alike with her new album "Fusion." Recently, Lindsey was featured in several local publications in the past year such as 944 Magazine, the San Diego Reader, the San Diego Union Tribune, San Diego Music Matters, and the San Diego Troubadour; as well as national publications like the music magazine "Inside Connection" and "TheCelebrityCafe.com". She has shared the stage with local legends like Gregory Page and Tristan Prettyman, and her music continues to receive airplay from both local and national internet radio stations. Most recently, Lindsey won a 2006 Los Angeles Music Award for the category: Acoustic Female Singer/Songwriter of the Year.

Lindsey has been something of a musical prodigy. She began taking vocal lessons at age 4, performing at age 5; guitar and piano lessons quickly followed, and she was composing her own music by the time she was 12. Her influences range from Alanis Morissette, to Elton John, to Beethoven. The powerful appeal of Lindsey's music is two-fold: first her melodies are haunting and emotionally captivating, and second her lyrics are insightful and poetically rich. Thus, it comes as no surprise when fans learn that in 2003 she graduated from San Diego State University with not one, but two degrees; one in Philosophy and the other in Religious Studies. Her undergraduate degrees were not the conclusion of Lindsey's academic journey. She currently attends the University of San Diego working toward a Master of Science Degree in Nursing. Having just completed her first year of studies, she is now what she likes to call, "a registered nurse by day and a rock star by night." However important education has been and continues to be for her, Lindsey clearly considers music to be her greatest passion, her first love, and thus her greatest priority. Music has been and remains the central focus of her life. When 944 Magazine asked her about balancing school and music she replied, "(Education) leads to new experiences, new thoughts and new knowledge, which seep into my music…My education lends itself to my music."

Anyone who has had the opportunity to see Lindsey live or listen to her album "Fusion" will be left not only with a sense of inspiration and connection to her music, but will be looking forward to hear what new music this very talented and creative performer will soon produce.

Lindsey is currently writing for a new album, which she anticipates will be released sometime mid 2007.
