Lin, who is half Icelandic and half Chinese, made her solo debut as a cellist with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, became a semi-finalist on The Voice Iceland, and made it to the finals of Iceland’s Got Talent — all when she was a young teenager. Lin is currently in her fourth semester at Berklee, where she’s studying with a Presidential scholarship. She recently released her first single “Street by Street,” which has reached 100,000 cross-platform plays, and her EP is set to be released this summer.

Lin will perform a short set including a song chosen by Boston.com readers on Instagram at 5 p.m. EDT and Facebook at 5:30 p.m. EDT on Thursday. You can vote below for your favorite before she goes live.
