Liam Lynch

President of 111 Productions, Liam Lynch is the creator, co-writer, musician, actor, director, and executive producer of Mtv's Sifl and Olly Show. The daily show ran three seasons and was ranked among Mtv's top ten shows at the time. His surreal sock puppet show is still airing in countries around the world.

Lynch started the show while living in Liverpool, England. He was one of 40 musicians chosen from around the world to study at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, a small unique art institute founded by Sir Paul McCartney. Lynch was not only in the institute's first graduating class, but one of 5 musicians hand-picked by the ex-Beatle to work on a one-on-one basis.

Lynch as been writing stories and original music since age 12. He wrote, recorded, and produced his first album of original songs at age 15. By age 18, he was a published writer and poet. By the age of 21, Lynch was professionally touring, working in music publishing, and had landed recording deals with large studios in Nashville, TN. At 26, Lynch found himself working in recording studios in Liverpool with Sir George martin and attending lectures by Brian Eno.

While in England, Lynch produced local Liverpool bands, worked with writer/producer John Parish (best known for work with PJ Harvey), acted in television commercials, and was featured in three BBC documentaries and in publications around the world -- all before deciding to create his own television show and get it on the air worldwide.

Lynch also works as a consultant to leading software designers in the development and testing of new technologies, from video compression to robots.

Lynch has been busy working on many projects for Tenacious D, from short films to writing and directing their feature-length movie for New Line. He has also been writing music for television, writing comedy for television and film, and releasing his own albums and DVDs on his 111 Productions label.

With a recent radio hit for his song, "United States of Whatever," Lynch has also landed a record deal with Pumkinhead/S-Curve Records and a publishing deal with Deston Songs. Lynch is now working and recording with Mark Hudson and his second Beatle, Ringo Starr, who plays drums for Lynch on his new album.

While working on the album, Fake Songs (which also comes with a DVD full of his short films), Lynch somehow managed to find time to direct a music video for the Foo Fighters, work on DVDs for No Doubt and Tenacious D, and finish up composing music for the MTV animated series, Clone High.
