Dynamic country-pop artist Jacynta’lee on new single ‘That’s Alright’ and EP plans

Jacynta’lee is a country-pop artist from Far North Queensland who released her debut single in 2021 and has released several songs since. In our recent interview, to chat about her latest single, ‘That’s Alright’, Jacynta’lee talked about working with in-demand Melbourne producing pair MSquared – Michael Delorenzis and Michael Paynter – on the track. The song was inspired, says Jacynta’lee, by a personal experience where someone commented on her tomboyish behaviour, leading her to write a song about self-acceptance and the importance of not changing for others. The experience of writing it with MSquared was so positive that while she used to prefer to write solo, Jacynta’lee is now a convert to co-writes. Growing up in a musical family – her mother is a vocal coach – Jacynta'lee taught herself to play guitar at age 12. Of her early exposure to country music through her parents’ record collection, she says: ‘I ended up just falling in love with it. And I've also ended up falling in love with songwriting because of that. I love the songs where you can paint a picture in your head.’ At age 16 Jacynta’lee attended Camerata, as the Junior Academy of Country Music was then known, on a scholarship after the original recipient, Nathan Lamont, had to decline it!  Of the continuing influence of that Camerata experience on her life and music, Jacynta’lee says, ‘I think just being surrounded by music for … two weeks with people that are aspiring to do what you're doing at such an impressionable age – they're lifelong connections, I think.’        Looking ahead to the rest of the year, Jacynta’lee has plans to release an EP and she also has several big events coming up. With her high-energy country-pop sound and fantastic voice, she is sure to win even more fans at shows and with her new music. Listen to Jacynta’lee on Apple Music Listen to Jacynta’lee on SpotifyFor more Sunburnt Country Music:InstagramFacebook YouTubewebsite Substack Hosted on Acast.
