Sometimes even when you want to help someone, you can tell they\u2019re taking advantage of you. To me, it\u2019s sassy and about standing up for yourself.

In 2018, Lomis was personally invited by Grammy Award winner Brandi Carlile to join her on stage at her \u201cGirls Just Wanna Weekend\u201d after Lomis submitted a video to her Brandi-oke contest. In 2019, another live-performance dream came true when Lomis was offered an opening slot for another one of her favorite musicians, Bruno Major, in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent episode of Allen Stone\u2019s <em>Live from the Lodge<\/em> YouTube series, he raved about her as an \u201c<em>effortless singer<\/em>.\u201d He also happens to be one of Lomis\u2019 biggest musical influences. With an arsenal of new music on the horizon, 2020 is poised to be an exciting new chapter in Lomis\u2019 burgeoning career.<\/p>\n<p>We talked with Lindsey Lomis about her passion for songwriting, what continues to inspire her creative process, how she remains hopeful and how she is ready to share a new side of herself with the world.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>LINDSEY LOMIS<\/strong> Interview<br \/>\nwith\u00a0<strong><em>M Music &amp; Musicians<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>magazine publisher,<strong> Merlin David<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>How did the idea for energetic and emotionally powerful \u201cBones\u201d come to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thank you! \u201cBones\u201d is centered around the metaphor of this person digging their own grave with their lies.

During the process of creating \u201cBones,\u201d I learned that though I may not be a typically sassy person, it\u2019s one of my new favorite things to express in my music. This song gives me a chance to say something passionate and powerful, while feeling like a badass doing it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about \u201cFeel\u201d\u2014the other song you recently released.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe idea for \u201cFeel\u201d began in the studio. My producer and co-writer Ryan Daly and I had met and started with a blank slate. It was the first time I\u2019d met Ryan. We immediately clicked. He was like an older brother to me. We shared different songs and artists we were into at the time\u2014people like Leon Bridges (\u201cBad Bad News\u201d), H.E.R., Sabrina Claudio. We basically jumped into writing and it came out extremely naturally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did the song come quickly?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt was actually a long session. We started around 11 am. We usually go until 5 PM, but this time we went until 4 am. Definitely broke a bunch of child-labor laws (<em>laughs<\/em>) because I had only just turned 16. We kept going and pushing. By 4 am, I was extremely delusional. It wasn\u2019t until we fully finished the song that I knew exactly what it meant to me personally. I wrote that song over a year ago. It\u2019s very rare for me to write a song that long ago and still like it. (<em>Laughs<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update us on the progress of the upcoming EP.<\/strong><br \/>\nWe are almost done with the EP. We have several songs that are completed and we are super excited about, and a few that are still being fine-tuned. Each song contributes in a different way to the record while still creating a consistent sound. I wrote the first song when I was 11. I\u2019m so ready to share this new side of me.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19740\" style=\"width: 670px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19740\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19740\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lindsey-Lomis-04-Photo-credit-Emma-Delevante.jpg\" alt=\"Lindsey Lomis | Photo credit: Emma Delevante\" width=\"660\" height=\"825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lindsey-Lomis-04-Photo-credit-Emma-Delevante.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lindsey-Lomis-04-Photo-credit-Emma-Delevante-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lindsey-Lomis-04-Photo-credit-Emma-Delevante-300x375.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19740\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lindsey Lomis | Photo credit: Emma Delevante<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>What did you learn about yourself while recording this EP?<\/strong><br \/>\nOne main thing I\u2019ve learned about myself while recording this EP is that I can write a ton of songs that I love, but they don\u2019t all fit the sound I\u2019m trying to express at this moment. I\u2019m inspired by all types of music and many different artists, but during the creation of this EP I\u2019ve found a sound that represents who I am right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who originally inspired you to write songs?<\/strong><br \/>\nI began writing melodies and singing random lyrics off the top of my head at a really young age. I used to sit outside swinging for hours at a time singing nonsense. I never really dived into the art of songwriting until I was around 13 and that was when I was obsessed with the artist Tori Kelly. As a young girl, her guitar playing and original songs inspired me to write.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What songwriting tip would you like to offer?<\/strong><br \/>\nDon\u2019t be too hard on yourself at the beginning. It\u2019s easy to compare yourself to the professional songwriters writing the songs you love, but understand that everyone has to start somewhere. I had to write a lot of songs before I had something I was proud enough to release.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What instrument can you not live without?<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019ve had my Taylor 412ce since I was 13 and it has traveled with me all over the world. It\u2019s the first thing I grab when I want to write and it\u2019s my go-to for performing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19739\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lindsey-Lomis-05-Photo-credit-Emma-Delevante.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lindsey-Lomis-05-Photo-credit-Emma-Delevante.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lindsey-Lomis-05-Photo-credit-Emma-Delevante-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lindsey-Lomis-05-Photo-credit-Emma-Delevante-300x375.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Which Top 5 Musicians\u00a0inspired you to become a musician?<\/strong><br \/>\nAdele, Tori Kelly, Allen Stone, Amy Winehouse and H.E.R.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your Top 5 favorite albums of all time?<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>21<\/em> (2011) \u2013 Adele [I got this CD as a Christmas present and I would use my bunk bed as a stage while I sang this album at the top of my lungs.]<\/p>\n<p><em>Back to Black<\/em> (2006) \u2013 Amy Winehouse [I fell in love with this album a few years ago as I was really finding my style incorporating soul and jazz.]<\/p>\n<p><em>Vessel<\/em> (2013) \u2013 Twenty One Pilots [I even got my dad hooked on Twenty One Pilots and we\u2019ve traveled all over the place to see them live.]<\/p>\n<p><em>Tell Me I\u2019m Pretty<\/em> (2015) \u2013 Cage the Elephant [My first real rock show, and they opened my eyes to the alternative scene.]<\/p>\n<p><em>Unbreakable Smile<\/em> (2015) \u2013 Tori Kelly [When I was 14, I memorized every riff on her album and used to open my shows with the Intro \u201cWhere I Belong\u201d.

One that first comes to mind is when I performed at the legendary Ryman Auditorium. My friend and mentor, Ruby Amanfu, was performing at a benefit show, but started to lose her voice. She had one more song to perform and called me up from the audience to help back her up. Before I knew it, I was singing on stage at the iconic Ryman, where I had watched so many of my idols perform. I completely freaked out afterwards, standing next to John Prine backstage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What advice were you given and what advice would you like to give others?<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m very lucky my parents have always encouraged me to pursue my passion. They taught me to focus on what matters most\u2014my love for music. Advice like this really paid off the first time I got to play for Busbee [Grammy nominated producer]. He noticed that I was more focused on the music than on trying to impress him. He was instrumental in elevating my career to the next level. So I guess my advice is just\u2014be authentic and do what you love.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you remain hopeful in this strange and unique socio-political climate?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is really hard. We feel the responsibility to help and change and cleanup and move on. This is a huge impasse. We need the change. My hopefulness is for all of us coming together. We have to navigate it together.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19737\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/LL_bones_cover.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/LL_bones_cover.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/LL_bones_cover-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/LL_bones_cover-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Where can new fans get more info and stay updated?<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindseylomis.com\/\">www.LindseyLomis.com<\/a><br \/>\nInstagram: @lindseylomis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lindseylomis\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lindseylomis\/<\/a><br \/>\nTwitter: @lindseylomis <a href=\"https:\/\/mobile.twitter.com\/lindseylomis\">https:\/\/mobile.twitter.com\/lindseylomis<\/a><br \/>\nYouTube: Lindsey Lomis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCHqJ_3oP2HTTmCHt9rmLhZw\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCHqJ_3oP2HTTmCHt9rmLhZw<\/a><br \/>\nFacebook: @lindseylomis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lindseylomis\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lindseylomis\/<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19736\" style=\"width: 670px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19736\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19736\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lindsey-Lomis-07-Photo-credit-Emma-Delevante.jpg\" alt=\"Lindsey Lomis | Photo credit: Emma Delevante\" width=\"660\" height=\"825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lindsey-Lomis-07-Photo-credit-Emma-Delevante.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lindsey-Lomis-07-Photo-credit-Emma-Delevante-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lindsey-Lomis-07-Photo-credit-Emma-Delevante-300x375.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19736\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lindsey Lomis | Photo credit: Emma Delevante<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video Feature &amp; Web-Exclusive Interview Artist:\u00a0 LINDSEY LOMIS Video:\u00a0 \u201cBones\u201d LINDSEY LOMIS RELEASES EMOTIONALLY POWERFUL AND EMPOWERING \u201cBONES\u201d \ufeff Rising 17-year-old Nashville songstress Lindsey Lomis releases \u201cBones\u201d from Altadena\/Warner Records\u2019 upcoming EP After generating millions of streams independently and garnering critical acclaim for her debut major label release \u201cFeel\u201d earlier this year, rising 17-year-old Nashville [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19745,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7725],"tags":[11845,4128,2391,11846,11847,11848,2986,11849,11850,10958,4477,1536,11851,3838,11852,11853,11854,11855,8259,11856,11589,11857,11858,11859,7566,3010,7978,11860,11861,11862,6576,11819,11863,11864,3720,11865,11866,7968,11867,11868,11869],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19735"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19735"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19735\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19746,"href":"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19735\/revisions\/19746"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
