Chelsea Lynn's dream of singing began when she was a young child listening to Shania Twain on the radio in the small town of Rock Hall, Maryland. After singing along to the radio for most of her youth, at twelve, she would set out to perform at her very first talent show, and win performing Leanne Rhymes "Blue". From there, she participated again in other talent shows, and joined local classic country band, The Bobby Kelly Band, with whom she sang lots of Patsy Cline and grew her love of the classics. In 2007, Chelsea auditioned for popular television show American Idol in Philadelphia, just a couple of years before heading off to attend Wesley College.

After achieving her bachelor's in business and starting her career, she jumped back into her love of music to audition in Philadelphia again, but this time for television show The Voice in February 2016. Later that year, she auditioned for local cover band, The Vigilantes, which dissolved. Shortly after, she teamed up with Chris Horne and Shawn Grove of The Vigilantes and together they formed a new acoustic trio, The  EVERAFTER.

In 2022, Chris and Chelsea tied the knot while continuing to grow the band and search for a fourth member. In The EVERAFTER Chelsea Lynn performs lead vocals, harmonies, and percussion covering songs from Janis Joplin and Stevie Nicks to Guns n Roses and Bruno Mars. She has performed 700+ shows and counting with The EVERAFTER in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and even Michigan.

In addition to singing her heart out every week with The EVERAFTER, she starting teaching vocal lessons online in 2021 and continues to teach today. She also loves to perform Christian music with her husband Chris and the praise band at Connection Community Church. Chelsea Lynn loves music and the joy that sharing her gift with others brings.
