About Lindsay

At age three, Lindsay moved with her family from Philadelphia to Nashville. At the time, no one realized what a precipitous turn of events that would turn out to be. "Music City" was just the place young Lindsay needed to be. For it was evident early on, that the precocious toddler was musical. While listening to radio's Jerry House and the House Foundation on her way to pre-school every day, she quickly became enamored with country music.

It turns out that country wasn't her only interest. In fact, Lindsay has a passion for all things musical. At age 11 she sang her first part in a theater production of The Magician's Nephew, which enjoyed an 8 week run at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. It was at this time Lindsay began classical voice lessons and performance. This training has continued ever since.

A few years later, while looking for a new musical adventure, Lindsay discovered a small music school north of town - The Nashville Jazz Workshop. It was there that she fell "head over heels in love" with Jazz! The folks at the NJW encouraged her to audit a vocal techniques class taught by legendary vocal coach, Ron Browning. Up to that point, Browning had rarely worked with children. After the 15-year old Lindsay's impromptu rendition of the classic Route 66, in front of his stunned adult class, Browning changed his mind about young students. That chance meeting led to nearly five years of private coaching, which truly brought Lindsay vocally, to where she is today. "Ron made me work hard, and would never let me just … get by," shared George. "He always pushed me for more."

While most kids at Brentwood High School were listening to Hip-Hop, Lindsay put Johnny Mercer and Tony Bennett on her iPod. "I love Ella Fitzgerald, and Carmen McCrae's Love is Here to Stay is one of my favorite songs ever," says George. Gifted academically as well, Lindsay completed high school in three years, and graduated at the top of her class.

Belmont University offered Lindsay a full academic scholarship, and she accepted. Her major: Commercial Music and Composition, of course. In her sophomore year, Lindsay was awarded the very prestigious Presser Foundation Scholarship, a $5000 award, for outstanding academic and music merit. This award was especially meaningful for her as it was voted on by the Dean and the entire faculty in the School of Music. "It was such an honor for me to receive that award and I hope to make my professors and Belmont proud."

A family friend, who had been following Lindsay's musical progress, thought it would be appropriate for her to meet Denny Jiosa. Jiosa, who is a 4-time Grammy nominated producer and Jazz guitarist, liked Lindsay from the start. "She's smart, she's adorable, she has a great vibe, and she's a super-talented singer," he gushed. After a few meetings, Denny agreed to produce a project with her. "I only had one condition," he said. "I told Lindsay that she would have to co-write at least one song with me." Lindsay accepted the challenge, and Lindsay's debut album, Living Inside-Out, contains five cuts penned by George & Jiosa.

So, from a magical town known mostly for its "guitars, Cadillac cars, and hillbilly music" comes a fresh, new and prodigious, Jazz Pop talent, with an incredible musical future. Keep your eyes and ears wide open for the lovely, the talented, Lindsay George!
