Cynthia Nabozny (born May 13, 1993), known professionally as Cyn, is an American singer and songwriter.

Life and career[]

Cyn was born on May 13, 1993 in Michigan. By the age of 16 she was recording her own vocals and then doubling over it.[1] After failing to get into DePaul University's music program, she graduated from the university in Management Information Systems.[2]

She found a mentor in Katy Perry and went on to be signed by her record label.[3][4] The song that had made Perry and her team take note of her was Only With You, which she had written only two months back in September 2015.[4] It would be another two years before Only With You was released as a single.[4] Her debut single under Unsub was Together released in July 2017.[5] She also opened for Perry's Witness: The Tour on the Mexico dates.

Her debut album "Mood Swing" released in September 2019.[6] The seven track album includes production by Lars Stalfors and Matias Mora.[6] Cyn describes the album as a "Parisian park" and that most of the songs in that album, including lyrics and melody, are built around a single sentence, the "thesis statement".[7] Following this, Cyn then came out with a reimagined version of her debut album titled "Mood Swing (even moodier)" in September 2020.[1] Her singles Drinks and Uh-Oh were written and recorded for the film Promising Young Woman.[8] The single Moment of Truth was part of the animated film Smallfoot.[3] Her latest single New York came out in October 2020.[9]

Her single Lonely Gun was part of the Birds of Prey soundtrack,[10] while I Can't Believe was part of the soundtrack of To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You.[11]

On February 17, 2021, a son, Etienne Noel Newman, was born to Cyn and director and author Kyle Newman.

In August 2021, Cyn recorded a cover version of Sixpence None the Richer's "Kiss Me" for the Netflix film soundtrack of He's All That (2021).[12]

Artistry and influences[]

One of the earliest influences Cyn remembers is listening to her mother playing "Foolish Games" by Jewel when she was three or four.[7] Her grandmother would listen to Doris Day.[2] Having been born in Detroit, Motown inspired her a lot.[7] Sheryl Crow and Rosalita are some of her favorites.[7] Lorde's influence made her realize that she could create an entirely new persona to go along with her stage name.[1] A new phase of inspiration came from Disney classics such as Sleeping Beauty.[1]
