Since Lenz's exit from Guiding Light she has completed a demo of original music.
Trained by the director of the Brooklyn College of Opera, Lenz plays the guitar and piano, and writes her own music.
Her first album, entitled Preincarnate, was released in October 2002.
She worked under the direction of director Garry Marshall and alongside musician Carole King on a new musical adapted from the series Happy Days.
She also took the opportunity to work in a public reading of a musical version of the novel The Outsiders directed by Arthur Allan Seidelman.

While working on One Tree Hill she continued to release new music.
In 2005, after recording "When the Stars Go Blue" with costar Tyler Hilton, the duo joined The Wreckers (Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp), and Gavin DeGraw for a 25-city North American One Tree Hill Tour that started in Vancouver.
Lenz and Hilton scored the No.
89 spot on February 2005's Billboard Pop 100 chart with the duet "When the Stars Go Blue".
While on tour, Lenz debuted her second independent record entitled, Come On Home, and filmed her first music video for "Songs in My Pockets" at Coney Island Beach and Astroland in Brooklyn, New York.

In 2006, alongside ex-American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi, Lenz co-wrote and recorded "Halo" which was released on the second volume of the One Tree Hill Soundtrack.
During this time, Lenz signed a deal with Sony Epic Records and worked with her producer, Ron Aniello (Lifehouse, Guster, Barenaked Ladies) to record original material.
In 2006, after changes within the company, Lenz left the label.
Despite this setback, Lenz traveled to Los Angeles to write and record several songs for the soundtrack for Ten Inch Hero in 2006.
Lenz's split with Epic allowed her to sign with the independent record label Hillasterion.

In 2008, Lenz formed the band Everly with her lifelong friend, Amber Sweeney.
Immediately after the duo was formed, they teamed up with musical act Angels & Airwaves, and Kate Voegele for a live USO concert event for military personnel.
This was filmed and formed the basis for a One Tree Hill episode, titled "Even Fairy Tale Characters Would Be Jealous".

In 2012, the Everly band split after four years of collaboration, the two artists preferring to focus on their solo careers.
In November of the same year, Lenz joined fellow One Tree Hill co-star Michael Grubbs of the band Wakey!Wakey!
and other singers at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City for the BTF Concerts: Rock The Schools 2012 concert.
She performed new songs and two duets with Grubbs entitled "I Know" and "Irresistible".
At the concert, she sold a 9-song CD entitled Then Slowly Grows.

During an interview with Shine On Media in May 2013, Lenz stated she was meeting with long-time friend and music producer Jeff Cohen to record an album.
On May 22, 2013, Lenz tweeted a picture of the recording studio.
The caption read, "Recording new music in #Nashville with old pal Jeff Cohen! #
LeavingTownAlive #CrazyGirls" On June 4, 2013, Lenz tweeted "Sneak peek at my new album..." and linked a video on WhoSay to a new song "Please".

During an interview with Mary Ann Albright in late July 2013, Lenz talked about her musical career plans.
She shared her intention to release her first full-length studio album, entitled Your Woman in the near future as an independent release on her blog.
Lenz went on to say, "The best way I can describe this album is Patsy Cline meets Paula Cole meets Sam Cooke."

On August 10, 2013, the song "Please" featuring Lenz was released on vibedeck and August 11 on iTunes for her fans after she had performed it at the Rock the Schools Concert in 2012.
On July 18, 2014, Lenz released "Calamity Jane" on iTunes.
The song was a teaser for her soon-to-be-released album.
Lenz stated: "While I'm reworking my album, here's a little teaser.
This song will sound totally different on the new record, but I thought you'd enjoy hearing this version."
On July 21, the song was on her WhoSay site and later on her SoundCloud site.

In November 2014, Lenz created a Kickstarter fundraising page for her new EP.
