“Get Around Boy,” Chasing Her Dream & Debut Album | Lakelin Lemmings
At just 19 years old, Lakelin Lemmings is already building her place in Nashville country music.
The rising singer-songwriter joined Heart of the Gulch host Tony Mendoza during CRS 2026 in Nashville to talk about her debut EP Get Around Boy, chasing a dream she's had since childhood, and the next chapter of her career.
Lakelin Lemmings discusses her debut EP Get Around Boy, songwriting and pursuing her country music career at just 19 years old.
Chasing the Dream Since Six Years Old
For Lakelin, becoming an artist wasn't a last-minute decision. She's been pursuing music since she was six years old, and while many people her age are beginning college and figuring out what comes next, Lakelin has chosen to go all-in on songwriting and building her career.
That decision has also meant growing up differently from some of the friends she left behind. During our conversation, Lakelin opens up about how those relationships have changed and what she's learned about herself while pursuing music at such a young age.
