Lindsey Loon

From Shakespeare to singing in a Japanese pop band, training at Yale and NIDA, Lindsey has embraced a wide range of performance and learning styles. A graduate of Yale University and Phillips Exeter Academy, Lindsey acted and sang throughout school, winning a Merril Duologue prize at Exeter as Ophelia, and performing both children's theater and sketch comedy at Yale. In Dec 2012 she completed an Acting to Camera course at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in Sydney, Australia. Lindsey sang in a Japanese pop band in Tokyo and as a solo artist in New Zealand before making a music video in Australia. Some of her songs are available on iTunes and Amazon.com. Her musical collaborations have ranged from blues and folk music to minimalist techno and singing opera over beats. A keen writer and self professed "word junkie," she sometimes writes lyrics for other performers. Raised in New England, she spent several years in Japan then in Houston, Texas where she fell in love with sunshine, BBQ, and Texan sass. She worked as a photographer and writer for a magazine in Houston before deciding to go overseas. For over a year she backpacked through Australia and New Zealand, seeking wildlife adventures from watching tree frogs sing in the Daintree Rainforest to swimming with seals in Kaikoura. During her travels she wrote a number of songs, several of which she recorded in Queenstown, New Zealand. Australia became a second home, and she lived there for over half a decade, primarily in Melbourne but also in Perth, Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sydney.
