Lyric Hollar
Lead Vocalist & Songwriter
The lead vocalist and songwriter for Lyric Noel. She discovered her voice at just five years old and quickly stood out, earning a spot in regional a cappella choir during middle school as the only student in her district to make the cut. Soon after, she picked up guitar and began performing with a range of local bands, from metal to blues rock, sharpening her presence both on stage and in the studio.
​
In her late 20s, Lyric began her solo career with the support of her husband and creative partner, Russell Hollar, exploring hard rock, blues, and sync licensing. But her heart has always belonged to metal. She and Russell built a following by reimagining popular songs through a heavy lens, a move that fueled their rise online and ultimately led to something bigger: the solo project grew into the full band now known as Lyric Noel.

Today, Lyric's writing cuts deep - confronting mental illness, self-doubt, and the darker edges of the human experience; delivered with the power, vulnerability, and fire that define her voice.
