Post Description

Lyn Stanley, a newcomer to sultry alto vocalists, brings with her romantic jazz interpretations from a dancer's perspective of the American songbook. Her albums are being played around the world to jazz, standards and ballroom dance lovers.

Born in Tacoma, Washington, Lyn knew that she wanted to be a singer after hearing a Maria Callas record. She loved both Duke Ellington and Judy Garland but singing took a backseat for a long period. After her doctoral work at Michigan State University, Lyn worked with Fortune 500 companies and taught advertising and marketing at several colleges.

She always loved to dance and was seriously training as a ballroom dancer when a terrible car accident in 2005 almost stopped everything. However Lyn was very determined. “I literally learned to walk again by learning the rumba.” Within four years her comeback was so complete that she became a national champion ballroom dancer. She won the 2010 National Pro/Am USDC ballroom dancesport championship in International Standard for waltz, tango, Viennese Waltz and Quickstep.

Discovered by jazz legend Paul T. Smith (accompanist for Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr., Sarah Vaughan and many others) and his wife, vocalist Annette Warren, Ms. Stanley made her singing debut with the Paul Smith Trio in February 2011. 
Ms. Stanley quickly become a known for her alto tones and rich, sultry voice.  

Her debut recording, 2013’s Lost in Romance has been an international success. Lyn’s renditions of swing songs and timeless ballads at her shows have proven to be atmospheric and uplifting. 
With the release of Potions [from the 50s] in 2015, Lyn Stanley performs her very personal versions of some of the greatest songs of the 1950s.
