Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Lowndes began her acting career at a young age, appearing in various television shows and films before landing her breakout role as drug-addicted teen Adrianna Tate-Duncan on The CW TV series 90210. Originally written as a 3-episode arc, the character became a series regular on 90210 for five seasons.

Beyond acting, Lowndes has expanded her career into production, having executive produced eight projects, two of which she has written the scripts and music for, as well as starred in.

Lowndes is also a musician. She has self-released over 30 original songs and her single, Silicone in Stereo reached #11 on the Billboard charts in both the U.S. and Canada.

Lowndes starred alongside Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig in the Lifetime movie A Deadly Adoption (2015) and was the female lead in the action film The Prince (2014) , acting alongside Bruce Willis and John Cusack. In the past few years she has starred in over 15 projects with Lifetime Channel, Hallmark Channel, GAF and Tubi, many of which included original songs she wrote and performed for the projects. She wrote the original screenplay for Hallmark’s Over the Moon in Love and co-wrote/performed the hit song “Paradise” for the film which hit #1 on iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts. She also starred in the 2021 film Mix Up in the Mediterranean for Hallmark Channel. Her duet “Alive,” which she performed with her co-star Jeremy Jordan for the film, was in the top 15 on iTunes.

Lowndes both wrote and starred in Harmony from the Heart for GAF and Hulu, alongside Jesse Metcalfe. Additionally, she wrote and produced the film's original song "11:11," which reached #3 on the iTunes singer/songwriter chart.
