Lyn Lapid (born October 24, 2002) is an American singer-songwriter. She is a member of vocal collective EARCANDY.[1] She also plays the guitar and ukulele.[1][2]
Biography[edit]
Early life[edit]
Lapid is a first-generation Filipino-American born to naturalized American citizens who immigrated from the Philippines.[3][4] She studied classical piano and played violin in an orchestra for seven years before starting to make covers. She attended Atholton High School.
Career[edit]
Lapid began releasing covers on YouTube and Instagram in 2018.[2] She began writing original songs in February 2020.[2]
In late 2020, Lapid gained popularity for her song "Producer Man", which is about her experience with a bad music producer.[5] She released it on TikTok, line by verse, a capella, accompanied solely by her beating fists and snapping fingers. The lyrics painted a picture of exploitation that was as old as the music industry itself.[2] She is signed to Republic Records.[2] Her contract was transferred to Mercury Records, a split of Republic Records.[6]
In January 2022, she was named as one of Shazam's top 5 artists to watch in 2022.[3][7] She was featured in amplifyHER, a United Nations podcast.[8]
Influences[edit]
Lapid cites fellow Filipino artists Jessica Sanchez and 4th Impact as influences.[9]
