In 2007, Lynch graduated from Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee with a B.S. degree in biology while also playing on the school's Men's Golf Team.

Although Lynch said he was interested in going to medical school, he decided to pursue a career in music.

Lynch said he started playing guitar when he was around 8 or 9 but soon abandoned it, and then picked it up again at 15.

When he was 16, he performed at the Bluebird Café in Nashville on an open mic night and was well received by the audience, so he decided to start a band.
