Biography
Linda is a russian singer performing trip-hop with ethnic influences. She was born on April 29, 1975 in Kentau, Kazakhstan. Her real name is Svetlana Geyman. Linda’s family has later moved to Togliatti, then to Moscow, Russia.
1993: Linda releases her breakthrough debut album “Песни Тибетских Лам” (“Pesni Tibetskih Lam” - “Songs of Tibetan Lamas”), followed by a remix album “Dances of Tibetan Lamas”. She surpasses her debut with her next album (her biggest selling to date) - “Ворона” (“Vorona” - “Crow”). The album achieves unprecedented popularity in Russia and every single from “Vorona” reaches number 1 in Russian charts.
During the “Vorona” era, Linda maintains a mysterious and exotic public image . She tells the media about her mystic experiences, music and her attitude to food (“if I could, I wouldn’t eat at all”).
Linda achieves commercial success with her producer Maxim Fadeev, who will later record his own album, resembling his work with Linda.
1999: Linda’s third album, “Плацента” (“Placenta”), is released. The album is darker and more personal, as Linda describes in an interview. However, she is subsequently dropped by her record label and producer due to financial issues.
2001: Linda signs to a new label, BMG and releases her fourth album “Зрение” (“Zreniye” - “Vision” or “Sight”). The overall sound becomes more electronic, guitar-driven and with nonsense lyrics. Due to low sales, Linda gets dropped by her label again.
2003: Linda signs a record deal with Universal. The promo single “Цепи и Кольца” (“Chains and Rings”) is subsequently released, along with an English version. The single achieves moderate success, but does not match “Vorona“‘s sales.
