Considering she is still a teenager, Nova Scotian country artist Makayla Lynn has already accumulated an enviable list of achievements. Those accomplishments include the release of three albums, the most recent of which – 2014’s Daydream – earned the young singer-songwriter
numerous East Coast Music Award nominations in addition to support slots for country superstars including Eric Church, Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw, and more.

A semi- nalist in both the International Songwriting Contest and CBC Searchlight competitions, Lynn’s songwriting talent is prominently featured on Daydream, on which she wrote or co-wrote six tracks.

Following the tragic murder of three RCMP o cers in Moncton, NB in 2014, Lynn penned the poignant track “Fallen Hero,” which has racked up tens of thousands of views on YouTube. Considering her youth and trajectory, Makayla Lynn just might be Canada’s next breakout country music star.
