Early life
Lynn was born to William Dennis Lynn, a Christian minister,[3] and Debra Lynn "Debby" Lynn (née Stockburger). Lynn's paternal grandmother, LaVanda Mae Fielder, was a piano and vocal instructor who worked out of her home. One of her pupils was a young Johnny Cash.[4] Lynn's father was a traveling preacher and proponent of a Christian touring sermon series known as "The Strong Family Seminar".[5]
Lynn's mother enrolled him in dance classes during his childhood. To encourage his interest in the performing arts, his parents converted their garage into a stage; he was involved in local choir and musical theater, and acted in numerous plays in high school. When Lynn was 7 years old he began suffering sexual abuse at the hands of a family friend who came to live with the Lynn family.[6][7] As a reaction to this abuse, many years later he would become an advocate for sexual assault survivors.[8] Teachings from the church eventually led Lynn to develop a disdain for his fundamentalist Christian upbringing.[9] As a teenager, he began listening to musical acts that were forbidden by his father.[3][10]
Lynn later moved from rural York, Nebraska to Olathe, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City, and befriended Jim Suptic, Ryan Pope and Rob Pope of The Get Up Kids at Olathe South High School from 1995–96[11] and spent much of his time in Kansas City. The party outlet led him to begin working as a DJ, and he started to write songs to help him cope with teenage angst and rejection after he moved to Portland, Oregon in 1996.[12]
Music career
1998–2007: early career and first hiatus
Two years after moving to Portland from the Midwestern United States, Lynn had become friends with Portland music scene-makers The Dandy Warhols and Elliott Smith and other local bands who were just starting to take off in the mainstream.[13][14]
2007–2010: signs with major label, drug overdose and rehab
In September 2007, Lynn had a feature showcase at Portland's MusicFest NW festival.[15] Later that month he was contacted by The Dandy Warhols.[16]
Lynn's association with DList.com owner Daniel Nardicio landed him a gig playing a party during the 2007 New York City Gay Pride celebration. His performance was seen by a representative from MTV's Logo network.[12] The LGBT-interest channel was interested in building its offering of artists and acts and recruited Lynn.[17] They secured the rights to his music video for "Burning Your Glory" initially. It first aired on television in April 2007. After spending 2 weeks airing on "NewNowNext" the video spent 11 consecutive weeks on Logo's viewer-voted weekly music video countdown show "The Click List", landing at the #3 spot on the countdown in June 2007. In October 2007, Lynn's music video for his single "Feed Me to the Wolves" was premiered on Logo. The video was commercially successful with the network and online.[18] Logo picked "Burning Your Glory" as one of the top 10 videos of the year in 2007. The following year, Lynn made his first TV appearance as host of Logo's hour-long NewNowNext countdown, in which he discussed his early life, influences, and career.[17]
During this time, Lynn overdosed on a mixture of crack cocaine and alcohol and suffered a TIA pre-stroke attack in 2008. He spent a large portion of the year in drug rehabilitation[19] in St. Helens, Oregon.[20] He was released later that year and has remained clean.[21] In September 2008, he was given his own showcase performance at Portland's MusicFest NW festival for the 2nd year in a row.[22]
In 2009 Lynn's new album, From Pillar to Post, was announced.[23] Lynn was given his own industry showcase at the 2009 CMJ Music Marathon festival,[24] where he performed with Portland indie pop outfit Cars & Trains as his backup. Leading up to this show, MTV Iggy wrote "Oregonian troubadour Logan Lynn backs his emotive vocals with glitchy techno, resulting in bare synth pop that's somewhere between Moby and Pedro the Lion. He's playing at New York's CMJ fest on Tuesday October 20th at midnight at the Bowery Electric." on their site alongside a post of Lynn's music videos. He also had a showcase at Musicfest Northwest in Portland, Oregon in 2009, his 3rd MFNW showcase in a row. In November 2009 Lynn released a music video for "Bottom Your Way to the Top", which was produced by Logan Lynn Music. The video featured Illustrations by John Parot from the Bravo TV series Work of Art: The Next Great Artist.[25][26]
2010–2012: splits with major label, second hiatus, charity work
Under pressure from his label and management, late in 2009 Lynn completely reworked his live show from performing the electropop originals of his songs with Cars & Trains to post-punk versions of the tracks with Portland alternative rock group The Gentry.[27] Lynn debuted this new lineup in a performance at The Dandy Warhols' Odditorium for CBS News, and he announced that he was leaving Beat the World Records in July 2010.[28] He completed a Summer tour of the U.S. with The Gentry, canceled plans for a second leg of the tour[29] and fulfilled his remaining contractual obligations to the label.[30]
Following his departure from Beat the World Records, Lynn self-released the album he had been working on for the label, "I Killed Tomorrow Yesterday", on August 31, 2010 as a benefit for Portland's Q Center. All of the profits of "I Killed Tomorrow Yesterday" went to benefit the LGBTQ community the 1st year of its release.[31] The record was co-written, produced and mixed by Bryan Cecil.[32] In June 2011, Lynn's "Quickly as We Pass" video premiered on Logo and MTV to positive reviews[33] in the press.[34] The video was directed by Jeffrey McHale and produced by Logan Lynn Music. Because of the nudity in the video, Logo, MTV[35] and VH1[36] rejected the first three versions of the video. A black bar-edited, censored version[37] would appear on those outlets instead. In July 2011 David Byrne from Talking Heads was quoted in Chicago newspaper The Windy City Times as saying "Imagine forward-thinking Imogen Heap mentoring a DIY artist with the hipster sound stemming from Brooklyn. The end product would be 'Quickly As We Pass'...the song is very catchy."[33]
In the fall of 2011 Lynn contributed a song, "Movies", to Live From Nowhere Near You (Volume 2).[38][39] He released a new single "Turn Me Out"[40] on Tuesday, June 5, 2012.[41] The song was co-written by David Appaloosa from Portland band The Hugs, produced by Gino Mari, and recorded at The Country Club recording studios in Portland.[42] In July 2012 Lynn released the "Turn Me Out" music video, which was directed by photographer Curtis Speer and produced by Logan Lynn Music.[43] In November 2012 Lynn produced and released a compilation record for charity titled "Comp 175"[44] which featured 36 bands, 45 songs, and was sold for $15.[45] 100% of the proceeds from this record go to benefit Q Center.[46]
2012–2015: return to the stage, mainstream exposure, Keep Oregon Well campaign
Lynn held a public remix contest for his Turn Me Out (single) and released the top 5 mixes on the Turn Me Out (Remix EP) in August 2012.[47] He released a new 10 song album on December 4, 2012 called Tramp Stamps and Birthmarks.[48] The record was named "Album of the Year" by multiple media outlets.[49] A review in the Willamette Week read "Former Dandy Warhols protégé Portland electropopper Logan Lynn is back with 'Tramp Stamps and Birthmarks', a layered confection of shiny beats, blips and synths with more lyrical heft than the average dance-floor soundtrack".[50]
In January 2013 Lynn released the music video for "Hologram", directed by Adrian Sotomayor and Aaron Bear. It premiered on Out Magazine's website.[32] In August 2013, he released a music video for his next single from Tramp Stamps and Birthmarks, "Everything You Touch Turns to Gold".[citation needed] The video again premiered on Out Magazine's website[51] and was picked up by The Huffington Post other media outlets from there.[52][53]
In May 2013, Lynn held another public remix contest and released a second 5-song remix EP called Dance Alone featuring the winners. In June 2013, after taking a three-year hiatus from performing,[54] Lynn headlined the Queer Music Summer Tour Benefit For LGBTQ Mental Health Services & Suicide Prevention alongside Big Dipper, Conquistador, Rica Shay and others.[55] In September 2013, Lynn released a cover of "We Can't Stop" by Miley Cyrus, produced by Gino Mari. New York Magazine called Lynn's version "dreamy, guitar-heavy"[56] and The Huffington Post wrote that it was "bold" and "warmer" than the original.[57] Cyrus went on to perform Lynn and Mari's arrangement of the song on Saturday Night Live on October 5, 2013.[58][59][60]
On Halloween of 2013, Lynn released a music video for the album's title track, directed by Kevin Forrest and Ben Starkey and produced by Hippodrome Films.[61] In April 2014, he released a limited edition compact disc version of his 2012 album Tramp Stamps and Birthmarks[citation needed] and played a showcase at Mo-Wave 2014, voted "Best Festival" by Seattle Weekly.[60][62] In June, Lynn released the fifth single and music video from Tramp Stamps and Birthmarks, titled "Radio Silent". Produced by Logan Lynn Music, the video was directed by filmmaker Runn Shayo and featured behind-the-scenes and live performance clips from Lynn's 2013 summer tour of the U.S.[63][64] In an interview with Australian pop culture blog Tabloid Junk, Lynn confirmed that he was mid-process with a new album, planned for release in 2016.[65] On September 9, 2014 Lynn released the first two songs from his forthcoming 2016 album in the form of a two-song single titled "We Will Overcome".[66] The single contained the title track as well as a song called "Break Me Down". "Break Me Down" spent 6 weeks in the Top 10 on Colombian pop radio, prompting Lynn to do many interviews and radio spots in the country, with Escena Indie en Colombia naming the track #2 in their Top 5 Songs of 2014 Countdown.[67] The release of the "We Will Overcome" single was the first original music released by Lynn since 2012's Tramp Stamps and Birthmarks.[68][69] On September 30, 2014 Lynn released the "We Will Overcome" music video, directed by Andrew Carreon, and featuring vintage super 8 family film clips spliced together with studio clips of Lynn. The exclusive world premiere was hosted by Vortex Music Magazine.[70]
In May 2015, Lynn launched the "Keep Oregon Well" campaign to fight stigma surrounding mental and behavioral health, working with Trillium Family Services and Alpha Media. In its first year, Lynn's "Keep Oregon Well" concert series had shows with Walk Off The Earth, Of Monsters And Men, David Gray, Priory, Collective Soul, The Dandy Warhols, Charli XCX, Bleachers, Michael Franti, Matt Nathanson, Eric Hutchinson, Borns, Fiona Apple's band Watkins Family Hour, Vintage Trouble and other artists, actors, bands and musicians. Lynn interviewed many of the bands backstage before the shows about their own self care and experiences of mental health on the road, in their band, and in their personal lives.[71]
2016: "The One", Mental Health Advocacy, Pulse Orlando Charity Single, Adieu.
On January 1, 2016, Lynn and his longtime producer and collaborator Gino Mari released a new single called "The One".[72] Lynn cited his friends and former labelmates The Dandy Warhols for being the inspiration behind the song's modern garage rock sound. Glide Magazine wrote "Logan Lynn has always had a knack for making danceable rock and pop and with 'The One' he shows that he can now confidently rock out with the same gusto".[73]
The music video for "The One" features both Lynn and Mari, and was directed by Grammy Award-winning musician and producer Matt Alber.[74][75][76] With the release of "The One", Lynn also announced that his 8th studio album, Adieu. will be released in Summer 2016.[77]
In February 2016 MTV's Logo Network announced that Lynn would be taking over their social media to cover the 58th Annual Grammy Awards for the network's blog, NewNowNext.[78][79] That same month, Paste Magazine released the album art for Adieu. and Vortex Music Magazine released the liner notes, where Lynn writes about his ongoing struggle with depression, surviving suicidal ideation in the face of grief, and how he coped with persistent mental and behavioral health challenges.[80][81] In June 2016, two days after the mass killing of LGBT people and their allies at Pulse Orlando, Lynn and Mari released a new charity single titled "Go There When You Want to Be Loved" in support of the families and survivors most impacted by the tragedy.[82] Lynn and Mari donated 100% of the proceeds to recovery efforts with Orlando's gay community.[83] In a feature story and interview with Myspace Music the week of the release, Lynn said "I'm a gay man, so I can't donate blood, even to save other gay men who are dying because they are losing their own blood, so it felt very much like I needed to do something other than sit on my hands. I wrote the song about feeling like I didn't have a safe place in the world; This feeling like I'm a man without a country, I'm a man without a place to go."[84]
On July 1, 2016 the pre-order for Lynn's eighth studio album Adieu. went live alongside a new single, "Can You Get Me Off?"[citation needed] Lynn released his 20th music video, "Go There When You Want to Be Loved", on August 23, 2016. The video was produced by Molly Preston and directed by Kevin Forrest of Portland Film Works, and was premiered on Logo TV's "NewNowNext", which called the video "an experiment in unbridled joy".[85]
On September 23, 2016, Lynn released his eighth studio album, Adieu. In the September 2016 issue of Spain's Mondo Sonoro Magazine, Adieu. was selected as a "red star new release" pick alongside Frank Ocean, giving the album 7 out of 10 stars.[86] That same month, New Noise Magazine wrote that "Logan Lynn Brings Back 90s College Rock" in their review of the record.[87] The September issue of Blurt Magazine gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, and NBC's "Live at 7" called the record "masterful" during a segment with Lynn and Mari.[88][89] Lynn made appearances at the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, and returned to the Pacific Northwest to perform an album release show with 101.9 KINK FM at Skype Live Studio in Portland. The show was featured in Willamette Week alongside a feature on Lynn and the old Portland music scene he grew up in with Elliott Smith and The Dandy Warhols. The piece was focused on the release of Adieu., which the publication called his "most uncomfortable album yet".[90]
Lynn was the subject of a feature story in the October 2016 issue of Innocent Words Music Magazine, in which they called him "a modern day Gene Kelly".[91] Later that month Myspace named Lynn one of their "15 Artists We Love" and included him alongside Colbie Caillat and others in a special Halloween feature.[92] In November, Lynn was featured in a York News-Times cover story called "Struggles Lead Logan Lynn from York to Fame", about his life growing up in the small Nebraska town.[93] In December, Portland pop punk royalty Hutch Harris of Saddle Creek and Sub Pop band The Thermals published a story called "Just Visiting: A Brief History of Logan Lynn" in the Portland Mercury. In it, Harris wrote "Portland musician Logan Lynn is many things: a respected songwriter, mental health advocate, and LGBTQ icon. Adieu. is a smart mix of alt-country and indie electronica, with lyrics that may be dark, but are ultimately uplifting. It may have taken decades, but he has finally found his true voice, and is far from saying goodbye. With Adieu., Logan Lynn is really saying hello—to the world, to himself, and to the future."[94]
On January 1, 2017 Blurt Music Magazine named Adieu. as of the Top 10 Albums of 2016.[95] Later that month, INsite Atlanta Entertainment Magazine picked the record as one of their "Top 5 Albums of the Year", stating "Adieu. is quite possibly Logan Lynn's best album yet, as each song here builds on the next for an impressively cohesive set, ending in the brilliantly wry "Oh, Lucifer". Despite a mix of up tempo indie pop and more introspective piano tracks they fit together beautifully. Lynn continues to impress eight records into his career."[96] On January 20, 2017 Lynn released a music video for "Oh, Lucifer". Logo TV premiered the video and said "Logan Lynn Is reclaiming hell as a safe space for queers" and "skewers the religious right in a most devious way" about the release.[97]
In February 2017, Disarm Magazine named Adieu. one of the 10 "Best Albums of 2016" and published a long review of the album, stating "Logan Lynn's double album is the defiant, insistent & powerful work of a years' long incubating process, a thoughtful self-interrogation that pulls light out of darkness and healing out of grief, addiction and pain with subtlety, nuance, humor, and lively melodies."[98][99]
2017 to 2019: Working with Jay Mohr, My Movie Star, Collaborating with Styrofoam for Netflix EastSiders
In March 2017, Lynn appeared on an episode of Jay Mohr's Mohr Stories podcast. Lynn and Mohr discussed music, addiction recovery, overcoming childhood trauma, and mental health at length, as well as a forthcoming Lynn album that was inspired by Mohr.[100][101][102] In September 2017, Paste broke the news that Lynn and Mohr had completed a new record, titled My Movie Star, which was co-Produced by Lynn and Mohr and is a collaboration between Lynn and T-Pain muse GLASYS.[103] In February 2018, Lynn and Mohr released the My Movie Star featurette. The short film featured three previously unreleased songs from Lynn's forthcoming album by the same name.[104] Lynn credits Mohr with inspiring the album, on which Mohr is a producer and co-writer.[1][105][106]
On August 2, 2018, Earbuddy hosted the exclusive premiere of Lynn and Rian Lewis' "Underground" music video. The short film was produced by Lynn and Jay Mohr and is a stop-motion animation piece created by LAIKA Studios-trained animator Adam Taylor.[107] Lynn and Mohr released two versions of the music video for "Nothing's Ever Wrong" on September 10, 2018 via Self-Titled Magazine.[108] Starring Mohr, the video was written and directed by Lynn. The NC-17 Director's Cut featured full frontal nudity; the R-rated version featured backside nudity only. This is the first time Mohr had appeared fully nude in a film. In an interview with Self-Titled, Jay is quoted as saying "Logan Lynn is a loving artist. He knows he has doors to open that we can't close, so in ‘Nothing's Ever Wrong' he leaves out everything but what's there. The big change to the minor chords when he sings 'cause it's not my life'.... It shook me. I mean driving-and-crying shook me. It's so beautiful. Indescribably beautiful, but it's ominous for me... foreboding. Like if he goes any further it will break your heart; a door that can never be closed if he opens it."[109]
On October 12, 2018, Lynn's ninth studio album was released alongside the music video and single for "This Time I Lost It All".[citation needed] In a review of the record, Billboard said “For nearly 20 years, dance-pop artist Logan Lynn has made a career out of crafting catchy, disorderly songs that almost all include big beats, fun melodies and cheeky lyrics. But on his latest album, My Movie Star, Lynn has traded in his signature sound for a more somber, melancholy tone — a dynamic new album consisting of Lynn’s new piano-driven songs and filled with remixes and covers by other industry greats.”[110] On November 22, 2019 Lynn released a new electropop single titled "Name Your Trouble", which was written and produced in collaboration with Styrofoam (musician) for the EastSiders season 4 soundtrack on Netflix. The song premiered on Belgian music magazine Luminous Dash and is one of 5 original Lynn songs featured on the show's final season.[111]
2020 to present: Signing to Banana Stand Records, ‘’Unpeeled’’ Live EP
Toward the end of 2019, Lynn announced that he had signed to Portland’s Banana Stand Records. On January 31, 2020 the label released Lynn’s first for the imprint, a live EP featuring Glasys on keys, recorded in one take at Classic Pianos in Portland. Toronto’s Disarm Magazine premiered the first two live performances videos from the release.[112][113]
Online harassment and homophobic abuse
In 2018, Lynn directed and released the short film Nothing’s Ever Wrong, which featured Mohr fully nude for the first time in his career. The resulting speculation about the nature of their relationship led to a barrage of online harassment towards both, including a coordinated misinformation campaign by thousands of fans of the Opie and Anthony radio show.[114] During this time, it was reported that Lynn would be canceling the My Movie Star tour which had been announced at the time of the album’s release, and was set to feature Lynn and Mohr, as well as collaborators Glasys, Matt Alber, and others.[115] In March 2019, People magazine published an exclusive piece on Lynn, detailing the months of targeted harassment and homophobic abuse, which stemmed from a since-deleted hate group on Reddit about shock jocks Opie and Anthony. Regarding the widespread bullying, Lynn told People “It’s been my experience that nothing triggers this type of toxic masculinity culture more than a gay man who isn’t afraid, and I can’t think of anything I am less afraid of than a bunch of fragile dudes who can’t deal with my existence.”[116][117][118]
Working with Portugal. The Man
On July 12, 2018 Billboard published an exclusive feature story about Lynn and Portugal. The Man going on tour together to promote mental health awareness.[119] The partnership between Lynn and Portugal. The Man was also featured in Broadway World magazine, in addition to several other music news outlets.[120][121][122] Speaking about the band's relationship with Lynn in a story about the tour in Street Roots, bassist Zachary Carothers is quoted saying "He’s just a guy we know and love. He talked to us, and we loved his vibe and loved what he’s doing. Honestly, it’s an issue that we see every day, which is not like a lot of the other issues that we stand for. This is something that we see on the streets, and honestly, something we see very severely in our own group quite often, especially with a lot of musicians. That’s why we wanted to get into it."[123] In an interview on KOIN TV, Carothers said "Have you ever met this guy? Logan Lynn is great". PTM keyboardist Kyle O’Quin added, "He's great because he's open about talking about things and that's what we're trying to do."[124]
Commercial spots, TV and film
From 2006 when the channel first launched, Lynn has been featured on Viacom's Logo TV channel.,[125][126] including on the video countdown show NewNowNext Music, appearing in commercial spots, and having his videos played in rotation.[127] In 2007, filmmaker Mark Jerako used Lynn's "Show Me The World" on the soundtrack for his feature-length film Feeble In Fuchsia. In October 2010 "Feed Me To The Wolves" was used on the soundtrack for Episode 6 of Brandon Semenuk's show "Coastal Crew".[128][129] In 2011 Mutiny Bikes used Lynn's "Velocity"[130] for their "Battle Los Angeles" special on ESPN.[131] Lynn's "Hologram" was used in "One Day With Jordi Tixier", a 2013 short-film featuring French motocross star Jordi Tixier.[132] The fashion house of Oscar de la Renta used Lynn's "Turn Me Out" for their Spring/Summer 2013 Men's Collection campaign.[133] Designer Nicole Miller used Lynn's "The Last High (Y-Tron Remix)" for her Spring 2013 campaign.[134]
