“I sing like I feel.”
Lyndol Descant is a composer, singer and pianist with a unique and uplifting musical style reflecting her travels around the world. She merges jazz alto vocals with rock, and touches of folk. Her refined piano skills still express raw emotion, especially in her improvisation. Her compositions stand outside of any one genre, expressing her truth fearlessly.
Lyndol was born and raised in Houston, Texas. She studied classical piano and choral voice thru her teens. But she did not uncover her passion for the arts till she was in her early 20's. Inspired by her travels in France, exposure to live musical improvisation, and the 90's Austin culture 'keeping it weird', her creativity came bursting through in a variety of art forms.
In addition to music, she began studying photography, painting and writing. As a lifelong mystic, she discovered the power of creativity to unleash more peace and love upon this world. And her mission became clear.
Lyndol spent four years formally studying jazz piano and composition at the American School of Modern Music in Paris, France during which time she also privately studied voice with Keri Chryst of the Jazz Vocal Academy.
She was active in the NYC music scene for 10 years. Teaching at the Brooklyn Conservatory, and playing out live as much as possible; as a solo singing pianist, singer/songwriter leading her trio, as well as keyboardist and vocalist in a variety of bands at NYC’s coolest venues.
Since 2020, she has changed her focus from live shows to avid composing and content creation (photos, paintings, videos and blogs). She scored a full length feature film called Fractals for Eric Norcross. She composes for a variety of projects including Songs of Hope, a non-profit geared towards offering original custom songs to children in hospitals across the US. And she is set to release her 3rd album of originals called I Dared summer 2023.
