Lynge has said that he had no formal schooling as a child, but worked as a shepherd and hunter, living in a village of fewer than 40 residents that was an hour's boat ride from the nearest town.

In 2008, Lynge played a concert in the Hollywood music venue Highland Grounds and impressed the producer Matt Forger (engineer on Michael Jackson's Thriller album), who suggested recording his songs.

Shortly afterwards, Lynge began the intensive series of recording sessions at Bright Orange Studios in Los Angeles that resulted in his debut album, The Future.

Lynge's songs have also featured on US television shows including Lie to Me and Brothers & Sisters and the film American Pie Presents: Beta House.

In February 2018, Lynge and long-time musical collaborator Richard Lobb isolated themselves in a house in Trallong, Wales, to record the album Deep Snow, later completed in Narcissus Studios in London.

He later announced his signing to Integrity Records and, following two singles Age of Distraction and Paper Thin, the album Deep Snow was released on 23 November 2018.
