Thomas was born in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, on December 21, 1981. In 1984, Thomas made her first appearance on TV alongside her sister Alissa Thomas (Rosángel) on the Televisa's music contest Juguemos a Cantar. In 1986, Thomas launched a solo career, then in 1989, she took part in the TV singing contest Fantasía Musical featured in Siempre en Domingo. Soon after, following the advice of Raúl Velasco, she moved to Mexico City and was supported by her sister Alissa, Giorgio Moroder´s engineer Massimiliano "Max" Di Carlo, film score composer Tino Geizer and Carlos Lara, by then, her brother-in-law. The song "Cantemos Juntos", was released in 1989 under Melody records and later included on the LP compilation Los Triunfadores de Fantasía Musical.
In 1994, Thomas signed with EMI-Capitol. In 1995, at the age of 13, Thomas recorded her debut album Lynda, which was officially released in early 1996. It contained the single "Inseparables" and "Gira Que Gira", which became the commercial breakout of the album; the track charted in several countries during the spring of 1996, while the music video appeared on MTV and TeleHit. Soon after, Thomas released the single "Blue Jeans", which became a success throughout Latin America. She continued her studies during her early career.
