In Southern California there is an amazing young Singer/Songwriter whose strong voice caught our attention. This Singer/Songwriter is Savannah Lynne who was born at thee end of the 1990s. Miss. Lynne voice strong and mature for such a young girl.


Savannah Lynne was born in Southern California at the tail end of the 90's. Immediately following 9/11, Savannah Lynne and her family (even her horse”Titan”) moved to the beautiful islands of Hawaii and planned on living there forever until fate intervened. While singing out loud to herself in a grocery store, she caught the ear of a well-known music producer who heard something special. In 2007, Savannah and her family moved out to Los Angeles, CA to help her follow her dream. Writing and singing her own music, Savannah found a way to channel her passion, creativity, and love of music and share it with the world. Teaching herself how to play the guitar at age 11, Savannah Lynne co-wrote her first ten songs that carry a positive, uplifting message written from a child's point of view while still being able to connect with the adults in the room.

Savannah Lynne is a humble sweet girl who never lost her Aloha spirit (even though she moved from the tropical jungle to the urban jungle. She works hard at both her education and her music. Always wanting to learn more she has pushed herself tremendously. She receives straight A’s every year while she focuses on her singing, dancing, and guitar.


But wait there’s more… Savannah Lynne is much more than a singer/songwriter. She has a strong creative mind and is always putting her artistic talents to work.

We here at Rocky Coast News had the chance to interview this young Singer/Songwriter Savannah from Southern California.


When did you start singing?
I learned my first song at age 2.  Performing at age 5 and recording at age 10.

Was it your dream to be a singer?
I always knew I would be a singer.  I can blame my mom for that.  At age 2 my mom would say "again" with a giggle every time I finished singing.

Tell us about your style of singing?
I only sing "Country" professionally but I love all sorts of styles.  Some of my originals have a beautiful Hawaiian sound added to the country melody.  It makes a great blend.

Are there challenges pursuing a singing career?
I think there will always be challenges.  That's what makes it fun.  The biggest challenge is getting through the door since I am so young.  Once I am through the door they don't want me to leave and I'm always invited back.  I can WOW anyone if given the chance.

Does your parents and friends support you?
My parents are my biggest fans.  They believe in me so much that they are picking up and moving their company and our family to Nashville.

Do you write your own songs?
I started writing my own songs at age 10.  I started with lyrics only but now I think I enjoy writing the melody even more.  I also get songs written for me by other talented songwriters around the world.

If so, tell us what goes into writing a great song?
Passion, Patience, and repeat...

Where was your first performance, were you excited?
My first performance that I can remember was at Montessori School on Maui at age 5 singing in Hawaiian. I was so nervous.  I just kept staring at the man playing the guitar next to me instead of the audience.

Where have you been able to perform?
I have performed at small venues where only my parents showed up to large venues with 20,000 people.  I was lucky to be invited to perform at the world famous Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood multiple times as well as the Make a Wish Foundation and many more amazing venues

Who inspires you with your singing and songwriting?
I look up to so many artists.  I truly respect every artist in different ways.  Some that come to mind right now are:  Taylor Swift - for her lyrics and accomplishments. Carrie, Reba, Faith, Martina and so many more for their beautiful voices and talent

If you could perform anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
Grand Ol Opry.  I will one day.  But for now I have no problem putting in the hard work and working my way up.

Along the same line, who would you love to perform with?
Oh boy, this one is hard.  I have opened for so many wonderful bands but I have always wanted to do a duet with Brad Paisley.  Brad? Are you reading this.  You and me - DUET...  Well a girl can dream can't she?

What are some of your goals for your Music?
Move to Nashville, tour with the best of them.  I'm not asking for much, right?

What do you hope to accomplish with your singing/songwriting?
I hope to be on stage/touring 50 years from now.

Do you have any advice for those wanting to start a career in singing and songwriting?
The word "NO" is "YES" to another question.  Don't take no for an answer - find another way...

Is there anything else you want our readers to know about you, your singing/songwriting?
I grew up in Hawaii. I have 2 Geckos named Mango and Papaya.  Mango sits on my guitar every day while I practice.  I make my own bracelets that you see in all of my photos as well as all of my guitar straps. My latest single called "In Disarray" was released in September 2012 and within the first 3 weeks it was playing on radio stations in many different countries.
