| While living in Iliamna, Alaska, Lindsay demoed for an independent filming company at the age of five. Although this did not blossom into a career, it caused the musician in her blood to flow. Lindsay began to experiment with music on the family keyboard, and enjoyed singing herself to sleep with tunes from "The Little Mermaid". Her parents noticed her interest in music, and began recording her and her older brother in the family studio.
Perhaps the greatest decision that her family ever made for her was their journey to Spartanburg, where she enrolled in public school. Prior to this, she had been home-schooled by her mother. Landing several leading roles in elementary school plays, Lindsay began what has turned out to be the ride of her life in the world of entertainment. At the age of nine, she performed with her father, Joe Bennett of "Joe Bennett & The Sparkletones", at Spartanburg's West-Gate Mall during JB White's grand opening. By the time she was eleven, she had performed at the Asheville, North Carolina Civic Center at a rodeo event where she clogged to and sang "Cowboy Sweetheart", and performed a variety of songs at the annual Spartanburg Spring Fling. Lindsay also performed with her father at other venues. In 1998, her parents signed her up for what they thought to be "pop voice lessons" at the Converse College Pre-College program, where she began training in folk, Broadway, and Opera. Not only that, but Lindsay was only twelve at the time, and students under the age of fifteen were not allowed to enroll in private vocal lessons with her instructor, Dr. Valerie MacPhail. Oblivious to this policy, Lindsay continued her lessons, while her teacher thought she was atleast fifteen. When the discovery of her true age arose, Dr. MacPhail agreed upon continuing her lessons because Lindsay's voice was quite advanced for a twelve year-old.
At thirteen, she performed the National Anthem for the first time at the Flinthill National Rodeo, and will be performing for the fourth year in a row this coming August 2003. As a freshman in high school, Lindsay joined the show choir and chorus, and landed the leading role as Rosie Alvarez in "Bye Bye Birdie". That summer, she began recording Classical songs along with a Contemporary Christian single. At fifteen, she appeared in two music videos for recording artist, Ricky Moody, and filmed for British rock band J-39. She was also a quarter-finalist contestant on "Ed McMahon's Next Big Star Internet Music Video Contest", top 13 finalist on "Showtime at the Apollo" at the Greenville Peace Center, is Miss Teen Spartanburg 2002, Spartanburg County's Junior Miss 2003, and appeared as Liesl von Trapp in the Spartanburg Little Theater's 2003 production of "The Sound of Music". Lindsay is also a member of the Spartanburg Little Theater Traveling Cast, "Downstage Center", and has participated in performances in Spartanburg. She was recently cast as Maria in Ballet of Spartanburg's production of "Westside Story" to be performed April 16-17, 2004. Lindsay has also been busy doing auditions and performances in the south. She is a Contemporary Christian artist featured on LDSMUSICWORLD.com. She has demoed for composer and arranger, Sally DeFord, and has begun work on her very first album "What I Know", a Contemporary Christian album featuring songs by Sally Deford. Lindsay is an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and wishes to share her testimony of the Savior through song. She plans to attend college and continue her education in vocal performance. She also dreams of performing on Broadway and becoming a professional singer and actress.
