About

Cynthia Nabozny (born May 13, 1993 in the United States), The Michigan-born artist as one of the most refreshing songwriters and performers to emerge in late 2010s pop. Nabozny – who has since adopted the artist name CYN – grew up in Michigan, outside Detroit. Growing up, CYN pored over the American Songbook. CYN spent a lot of time with her grandmother listening to Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, and Carole King. The voices she grew up on were far subtler than some of the belting pop vocals of today. During her teenage years, she tells Billboard that the first place she ever performed live was in fifth grade at her elementary school, when she sang Alicia Keys’ “If I Ain't Got You.” CYN performed in talent contests, posted covers on Facebook, YouTube then to SoundClick, all of which failed to produce ideal outcomes. She was rejected by a music school in Chicago, she kept making music but never shouted about it and quietly took inspiration from her new city’s surroundings. 2014, she started working on a EP, which was released on her birthday through her SoundCloud page, the self-titled EP included an intro and four songs. CYN wrote "Thriver" and some original songs and also collaborated with producers, such as "Sorrow", "KHAI", "Midoca",... A remix of “The Only Lo Lo Lo" from the EP "CYN" featuring "Jerms" was released to Spotify and SoundCloud on November 2014 (Video was cancelled). The rising singer wrote “something”. The original song got more than 4M plays on SoundCloud and Spotify. Cynthia ended up signed to Unsub records, a music label by the Super-star Katy Perry.
