We caught up with singer and songwriter Avery Lynch to talk all things new music and what has been keeping her inspired lately.
I always love collaborating with Rosie, we’ve been friends for a while and have always been pretty good at meeting in the middle with our styles when we write together. It’s very easy writing with her and “okay” felt very seamless and natural to write.
There’s always time for friends! I try to get my work done during “normal” work hours to help too. I feel like it’s the same thing for anyone else working any kind of job, you just make the time!
I love talking to them and getting to see what my fans are like and the things they like. It’s also really cool to get feedback about how certain songs affected them. I love that they’re like my friends and they’re constantly supportive.
It’s either from my own experience, someone else’s experience that I witnessed somehow, or trying to think of a really sad situation and running with it! I normally think of them when I’m by myself and just sitting in thought, like when I’m driving or getting ready for the day. It’s rare that I come up with the concepts for my songs while I’m actually writing one.
Sara Bareilles is my biggest influence. There are songs here and there by artists that I don’t know very well that inspire me, but I haven’t found a person as influential as Sara. I’m also constantly trying to be better than my last song, and I try to tap into different songwriting styles all the time. I’m influenced by all of the incredible artists and songs around me, but yeah if I had to name someone, it would be Sara.
