About
VIC LYN - GUITARIST/VOCALIST
-----------------------------------------
Vic grew up in Jamaica where he was weaned on Reggae, Ska, Calypso and RnB. Started out as a teenager playing clarinet and tenor sax and did a stint as a 3rd clarinetist in the Jamaica Philharmonic Orchestra. He soon became proficient in the bass and electric guitar, played with a couple reggae bands and played on a few studio recordings.
Moving to Canada he took advanced lessons in jazz, blues, classical and flamenco guitar to enhance his skills.
Over the years he has performed as a guitarist, keyboardist, lead and backup vocalist with various bands such as the Passion Band, Fossil Fuel and Blind Rust. His interest in all aspects of music led him to create a home studio in the early 2000’s where he created backup music and recorded demo cd’s for budding singer/songwriters.
His taste in music spans all genres and he can be found playing solo fingerstyle guitar at functions or sitting in with other bands. He keeps a busy schedule as he also teaches private lessons in guitar, beginner to advanced.
With a huge repertoire of songs and necessary equipment he can provide a show/performance or background music for all type of events, private or corporate.
Additional booking notes
I provide my own equipment for all my shows. Sized to fit the venue. All I ask is to be located where I can be seen on stage or elevated area with acceptable Lighting, Power Outlets and minimum 6x6ft area where no one can accidentally knock over my equipment or interfere with my playing. Use of my PA equipment by others or for playing recorded music is available but comes at an extra hourly charge.
