When you hear Lakelin Lemmings sing for the first time, you can’t help but feel like you’ve been listening to her forever. The 19-year-old singer-songwriter from West Tennessee is utterly approachable, and undeniably herself. She’s the all-American girl next door, with big dreams and the talent to achieve them.

On “American Dreamin’,” her debut track on Stone Country Records, set for a June 20 release, Lakelin spells out all the things that shaped her: small towns, a supportive family, a dedication to faith and, of course, country music.

Born and raised in a musical family — her dad is a touring country guitarist — Lakelin began singing at age six and grew up listening to icons like Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Loretta Lynn and Lee Ann Womack, along with today’s stars Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood, and a heavy helping of Nineties pop.

Lakelin signed her first Nashville publishing deal at just 17 years old and has since amassed more than 100,000 followers on TikTok. Connection and communication with her audience is what drives Lakelin’s songwriting. She strives to let listeners — especially girls her own age — know that they’re seen and heard.
