Lindsey Ann Ballato, better known as Lyn-Z, was born on May 22nd, 1979 in Connecticut. She moved to New York to study art. She studied for two years at Pratt Iinstitute in Brooklyn. Prior to joining MSI, she was in a punk Dolly Parton cover band. She then replaced Vanessa as the bassist in the band in 2001. She is currently working with HUNG, a traveling art exhibit based on various punk artists. In 2002 she was hospitalized for a collapsed lung, but that hasn't stopped her from her high energy stage performance. Along with artist Jorden Haley, Lyn-Z contributed to the You'll Rebel To Anything CD artwork. Lyn-Z's stage presence is noticably active, she is constantly moving around and keeping the audience riled up and entertained. Her now infamous backbend is a memorable part of the live performance- Lyn-Z often dresses in school girl unifroms, with a touch of her own personal style. She married Gerard Way on September 3rd, 2007,the lastest days of the project revolution.
