Song contest sets Lynn on the write track by Vicky Andrews A LOCAL musician has struck all the right chords to secure a place as a finalist in a prestigious international song writing competition. Lynn Van De Mortel beat thousands of other talented hopefuls to become a finalist in this year's UK Songwriting Contest. The 38 year-old from Newton le Willows made it into the final twenty-one in the Dance Music category with her song 'Everytime'. Lynn, who also goes by the name DJ Tasha, wrote the track on her home computer and is now looking for sponsorship to record it professionally at either Star Trax Studios in Newton le Willows or Frog Studios, Warrington. The UK Songwriting Contest is the country's leading song writing event and one of the world's major international song competitions.

Bio
Every track I make never sounds the same a different genre. I met Brian May he asked me to send him a demo after spending 15 mins at the airport with him chatting ! I saved enough wages enough to go and buy my own Karaoke Set Up I did that for 2 Years then went on to buying DJ equipment and lighting etc and started to DJ Pubs Clubs and parties mainly House & Trance any how I did that type of work for 4 Years. And began to Produce my own Music starting out with e Jay (Loved that too still do) then progressed to Sonic Foundry’s Acid Pro which I now use and absolutely adore.I moved to live in LA a real BIG change for me but I love it the people are great very enthusiastic and Career orientated every one wants to do something interesting and be actively involved someway or another in the Film or Music Industry. Since being in the states MICHAEL CANYON DREBERT MUSIC PRODUCER IN LA taught me a lot about music software a great guy love him to bits.. My main goal now is to work for a Music Production Company for Films /TV/ Theatres or Recording Studio etc and write songs for other people! I would be in my element then. My music has been played on radio after being a semi finalist in The UKSC song writing competition , one of the judges being Simon Cowell
