Biography

From a purely personal point of view, the way Rockie Lynne sees it, life doesn’t necessarily begin at birth. “When I was in the seventh grade I mowed lawns and saved my money until I had enough to go to JC Penney and buy a guitar. That was the beginning of my life.” After years of touring as a side musician and then finally stepping out into the spotlight himself, his musical journey eventually led him to the office of Doug Morris, the worldwide CEO of the largest music company in the world, Universal Music Group. After a three-song audition in his New York office, Morris signed Lynne that same day. “Though I had been making music almost my whole life, all of this happened so fast. I felt like Alice in Wonderland falling through the rabbit hole,” Lynne says. “I could not believe what was happening.” His acclaimed debut spawned three charting singles including Lynne’s breakthrough hit, “Lipstick." In addition to “Good Morning America,” Lynne has made countless media appearances, including performances on network and cable television. Among Lynne’s greatest strengths is his chops as an electric guitar player and his uncanny ability to wow crowds with his live performances. “I spent years entertaining people who don’t necessarily want to be entertained,” he says of the time spent paying his dues." “It’s a joy to play music. It’s a joy to do this for a living. I’m trying to really do as the late Warren Zevon once said...enjoy every sandwich.”
