Liam Lynch (born September 5, 1970 in Kent, Ohio) is a musician, puppeteer, and director. He co-created, co-wrote, played the music for, directed, and produced the MTV show Sifl and Olly Show.
Lynch also made the album Fake Songs, released in 2002, produced by his own company, 111 Productions. This album featured the song " United States of Whatever", which charted in the Top 10 in the United Kingdom and Australia. It is one of the shortest songs to get to the Top 10 in both countries.
Lynch finished filming the film Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny in July 2005. Liam worked with Tenacious D on the video to the song "Tribute" their most popular hit.
When Lynch was three years old, he received a toy tape recorder, which he used to make his own shows. Ever since, he has two tape recorders with him at all times.
By age nine, his family moved to Hudson, Ohio, a 'small, preppy town' where he wound up rebelling against his confining surroundings. Liam was learning to play his first guitar and writing stories. This is also where Liam met his soon-to-be-partner Matt Crocco, who during that same year, moved to Hudson from New York.
When Liam was in fifth grade, a teacher came to test all the students for a new "gifted" student program that was starting. He was enrolled in the "REACH" program, where three days a week he left school to meet scientists, work at a TV studio, take poetry classes and visit art museums. He was also disgnosed with the following learning disabilities: colorblindness, dyslexia, attention deficit disorder (A.D.D.), sequential order deficiency, and binocularity of the eyes. This led him to describe himself later in life as a "watered-down idiot savant".
In tenth grade, Liam decided to record his own album. Saving money from odd jobs and garage sales, he used a local recording studio. This was a solo effort, he was working in recording studios writing, producing, and playing all the intruments for the solo album made of his own original songs. By the age of 17, he would produce another album, and used the money acquired from local gigs for starting a scholarship to help creative kids with learning disabilities get past their shortcomings and into art classes.
