NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Oct. 6, 2023) — Canadian-born country music artist, Makayla Lynn, is set to debut the performance video for her latest hit, “The Dreamer” on Oct. 20. Lynn is a fresh face exploding onto the Nashville scene and one of the standout country artists signed to Dreamlined Entertainment Group and Wrensong Entertainment/Harvey Dog Songs. She was named Rolling Stone Magazine’s “New Artist You Need to Know”, has spent time at #1 on CMT’s 12-Pack Countdown and is a two-time East Coast Music Award winner in Canada. Fans can view the performance video on Makayla Lynn’s Youtube channel on release day. 

Makayla Lynn’s newest single, “The Dreamer”, tells the story of “a dreamer” and the mother, lover, and daughter that know and love him. This is a tale well-known in Nashville, a city home to a large community of dreamers, including musicians, songwriters and artists. The song is written not only for all of those dreamers, but also for the supporters who know the struggle invloved with having your very soul pulled so heavily toward a dream. Multi-platinum songwriter and Grammy winning producer Keith Stegall produced the track along with his daughter Jen, further bringing the story of “The Dreamer” full circle.

“’The Dreamer’ was written from a very personal place for myself and my co-writers Jen Stegall and Janelle Arthur,” expresses Lynn. “As dreamers, we see the sacrifices made by our loved ones allow us to chase something in our souls. What always surprises me is how a song that feels very specific and niche can end up conveying an emotion that is universally felt in one way or another. If you are a dreamer, if you’re the mother, lover or daughter of one, this song is for you.”

“The Dreamer” was written by Lynn with Jen Stegall (Farewell Angelina, Faren Rachels, Reverie Lane, Carter Faith)  and Janelle Arthur. The writers each found a connection with the song in their own way. Makayla moved from Nova Scotia to Nashville in pursuit of her dreams, leaving behind her home and family. American Idol alum Janelle Arthur has also been tested and tried by the so-called “ten year town”. Jen Stegall, the third generation Stegall in the music industry, used her own family as inspiration.

“The Dreamer” the song

He’ll love her like no other

But he can’t put her first

There’s a place inside his soul where a stronger fire burns

Some days he’ll be on top of the world

Some days he’s gonna need her

God Bless the Mother of the Dreamer

Multi-platinum songwriter and Grammy winning producer Keith Stegall produced the track along with his daughter Jen, further bringing the story of “The Dreamer” full circle. Her latest record, was a written collaboration with Jen Stegall. Releasing a record with Grammy Award-winner Keith Stegall and his co-producer/daughter, Jen Stegall, Makayla’s growth as a songwriter and music-maker through her young years has allowed her artistry to settle into its place in the world of Country/Americana storytellers, much like her influences.
