Who is Royale Lynn? Great question! She is a singer/songwriter based in Nashville. She is much more than that but as she puts it, this is who she is.
‘My name is Royale Lynn, I grew up in the middle of nowhere and I grew up a metalhead.’
Now I know what you’re thinking, a country artist being a metalhead, sure. Well Royale definitely walks the walk. She may write country music for other people but she has had the metal rolling around her head for quite some time and now finally she has been able to branch out and explore this new frontier, for her, in music.
Living in Nashville, Royale is in the Mecca of Country music so I had to ask what it’s like making a space for her rock and metal roots in the land of yeehaw.
‘So the thing about Nashville that most people don’t know until they live here is, is how big the community is in different genres. That’s been pretty interesting to figure out who your people are, who you write best with and honestly that just comes from writing with different genres, with different types of people…that like me had a metal influence growing up…and when you find your people it’s such a special moment…that’s the magic that came together in the room.’
We talked a little about mental health, which is a major part of what Royale is all about. She really leans into being genuine which when you listen to her you can for sure hear. I have no doubts that we will be hearing much more from Royale Lynn in the future.
