RISTLYNN
High Profile Entertainments & Productions is so excited to welcome Ristlynn to the team! Ristlynn is a multi talented singer and instrumentalist, writing all his songs from scratch. His music is a blend of pop alternative, stealing elements from rock, reggae, funk, pop punk, and R&B. He has an electrifying energy that ebbs and flows between high energy and chill. With blasting choruses and cool groove based rhythms, Ristlynn also grinds his lyricism with a randomized formula of sarcasm and eccentricity; which makes for a fun and vivid combination when smashed together. Ristlynn has multiple features and interviews with renowned music magazines and blogs including Buzz Music, Fame Magazine, Camden Monthly, and Music Crowns, to name a few. He currently releases new music fairly regularly, on a bimonthly basis. Having developed a heavy intrigue for musical expression through film, he now writes and directs his own music videos after the success of the video for the single, ‘I’m Going Down’. All his music can be easily accessed online on any music streaming or listening platform.
