Born in Guangzhou, China, Shavvon Lin moved to Los Angeles at the age of 18 to study film and communications at UCLA. She made her film debut in the independent short, False Awakening (2014), and later went on to star in A Better World (2015), Alibi (2016), and Good Night Butterfly (2017). Hardly a novice to the music scene, Lin lent her vocal talents for a handful of songs featured in China's hit TV series, First Half of My Life, and furthered her musical efforts on a collaboration with rap group Straight Fire Gang for the song, "24 Years". As a solo artist, Lin's first official release was her 2020 single, "Love Me Later," an explosive future bass anthem that showcased a promising taste of what was to come from Shavvon Lin as a pop artist. The song was part one of an additional upcoming EDM trilogy EP releasing later this year. Apart from a thriving acting and singing career, Lin enjoys writing and is the co-editor and translator of the book series, New Wave of Acting. Written by Nicholas Buggs See less
