About Cynthia
Though Chicago-born singer/songwriter Cynthia Lin spent much of her youth on the stage - her first award-winning performance was at age six, and included a rendition of "Are you sleeping?" in Mandarin Chinese - it wasn't until her college years that she found her vocal freedom, when she discovered two very different artists: Ella Fitzgerald and Joni Mitchell. Embracing their range and agility, Cynthia learned the art of interpretation from Ella; from Joni, she learned that pop songs could be bittersweet, poetic, and emotionally complex.
After graduating Princeton University with a degree in economics and attempting a nine-to-five career in the Washington DC
software industry, Cynthia returned to the stage with a batch of original songs written on the acoustic guitar. Her unique
blend of jazz and folk, as well as her heartfelt lyrics and personable stage presence, began to draw a very loyal fanbase.
The warm reception of these songs, which included recognition from the Washingtonpost.com, led to the recording of her debut
EP Blue and Borderlined with Grammy-nominated engineer Heidi Gerber.
Since the album's release in January of 2005, Cynthia has become a regular on the regional touring circuit, performing at
respected venues including DC's IOTA Club, Philly's World Cafe Live, New York's Rockwood Music Hall, and Chicago's Uncommon
Ground. Cynthia has supported major acts including Vienna Teng and Emm Gryner, and has been featured on TV, radio, and at
Toronto's NXNE Festival. The music video for her song "I'm Shy" was selected to premiere at the 2005 Asian American International
Film Fest. Cynthia is currently recording a new album, this time experimenting with strings, horns, and self-production. Inspired by Ani DiFranco and other entrepreneurial artists, Cynthia plans to release her second EP Doppelganger independently in 2007.
