Lynette Smith started playing classical guitar at the age of 8 on a second-hand classical Takamine with a pickup in it, purchased by her parents.

​

Since then she has played rock/blues guitar (electric, acoustic, bass) for solo and band performances;  also for numerous artists since 1990.  Lyn is also a solid vocalist who can harmonise, sing lead or backing vocals.

In 2007, she started songwriting solidly and has developed a portfolio of songs ranging from jazz ballads, to rockabilly blues, alternative rock and acoustic folk.

​

More recently, Lynette has ventured into music production and composition, establishing a small home studio in which to create electronic, classical and band arrangements.

​

Lynette has also tutored students in classical/contemporary guitar, and performance since 2012.

Her most recent work includes composition and sound design for the 3D stop-motion animation, 'The Mask Maker', alongside world-renowned puppeteer, Gary Friedman.
