Lennix Amelia Flynn has spent the majority of her entire life in the spotlight. Born in Los Angeles, California in December to a well known plastic surgeon and a stay at home mom, Lennix came into the world with her twin sister Necole. The twins rounded out the family to make five. However, the twins would soon take over as the most well known Flynn family member. At six months old, the two had their first big break when they were cast in Full House as Michelle Tanner. Fame was something Fredrick never wanted for his children, but as the saying goes – happy wife, happy life. Matilda basked in the light of her children getting the spotlight and being the mother of “Michelle Tanner”.
Growing up in front of the camera would seem bizarre to others, but it seemed to be a normal life for the two. Their father made sure that if his children were going to be in the spotlight that they were going to be protected. He did his best to make them as normal as possible by giving them chores, going to school, and hanging out with their older brother. However, work continued to roll as the demand for the twins continued. With their father and a skilled entertainment lawyer, the two set up a production company for the twins and soon the company was producing films and television shows for young girls. It was these films and shows that ensured the twins worked and became some of the biggest child actors of their generation.
After 2004, the girls decided that they needed a break from acting and working with one another. Lennix loved her job, but she was craving a normal lifestyle – or whatever she thought that was. Acting was in her blood, but she wanted to figure out what life was when she wasn’t working all the time. Taking a step back, the 18 year old practically fell off the face of the earth as she did her best to figure out what it was like to not be “one half of the Flynn twins”.
During the four-year hiatus, Lennix decided it was time to pick up a guitar again. She had always loved music and now that she had time to focus on it. She found herself writing songs, recording demos in the house the twins had purchased earlier in the year and discovering what life was like as an independent adult – for the most part. After two years of fine tuning her craft, Lennix reached out to her manager knowing that she wanted to focus solely on music. It was risky with so many telling her that she would fail, but she pushed forward to signing a record deal with Capitol Records. Two years later she released her first album, One of the Boys, and the rest was history.
It was in the same year that Lennix realized she had feelings for her best friend, Braidan Grey. The two had met on the set of Full House as children and grew up together afterwards. At first she was terrified at the idea of falling for her best friend, but after seeing him potentional fall for someone else, she sucked it up and confessed her feelings. Needless to say it worked out in her favor and the two started dating shortly after. Things moved quickly and the two married in secret after being together only for a few months. While some thought it was a crazy idea, Lennix knew in her gut it was the right decision. It’s been over six years and the two are still crazy about one another. In fact, in April 2011, the two welcomed their first child into the world – a little boy named Knox Fredrick Grey.
Besides motherhood, music had become the girl’s life and after the success of her debut album she released Teenage Dream in 2010. It was this album that would solidify the girl into pip history. Needless to say with that much success, she realized the album Prism in 2013. However, as she was closing out her world tour in the beginning of 2015, Lennix realized she needed to take another hiatus. Besides wanting to take a break from the constant touring and singing, she wanted to focus on her child and being the best mom that she could be.
It doesn’t mean Lennix is done for good though as she plans to release more music in the near future.
