A Renaissance artist, Lynch was among 40 musicians chosen to study at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts—founded by Paul McCartney. He was one of only five musicians hand picked by McCartney to work on a one-to-one basis.

Also known as the creator, co-writer, musician, actor, director and executive producer of MTV’s cult-hit, Sifl and Olly, Lynch has directed videos for artists like Tenacious D and Foo Fighters. He is currently writing and directing the new Tenacious D full-length feature for Ben Stiller’s production company.

Lynch said, "It’s great to be part of the Deston Songs family. Being raised by wolves I’m not used to human company. So just the human interaction is exciting. I think we’re going to have a wonderful future ahead of us. I love Deston Songs."
