With
all the controversy surrounding the Middle East today, we never think
of that part of the world in terms of art, poetry: beauty itself
But Linda George, born in Baghdad, is a true living picture of that artistic
beauty. This songstress will take your thoughts to another level. Her
rhythmic, sultry voice will appeal to your soul, where art, poetry and
beauty live.
Linda has been singing since she was a little girl:
her career began at the tender age of five. She was
the church choir soloist in Baghdad, where she appeared
on national television.
Like many other Assyrians, she eventually moved to the
United States with her family. By that time, even as
a young girl, Linda was already established in the Assyrian
market.
Now living in California, with fourteen very successful
albums under her belt, including two Christian albums,
Linda feels she has reached her peak in the Assyrian
market and it is time to be expanding worldwide - and
lucky for us!
Linda has been inspired by singers like Anita Baker
and Barbara Streisand. Linda has pulled the soul of
Anita, clarity and strength of Barbara…. and added her
own unique flair. Powerful and smooth, her voice commands
attention.
Linda has worked with numerous respected musicians,
from renowned pianist Howard Levy, Big Mak, Craig Portiels,
performers from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, as well
as top Assyrian composers and musicians.
Linda has received international recognition for her
musical achievements. For her 10th anniversary as an
artist - and the first time in the history of Assyrian
music - Linda was awarded with a Golden Record. In Chicago,
the Assyrian American National Federation presented
her with the Golden Voice award for Best Assyrian Singer.
She was crowned in Sweden on November 29th, 1997 for
her outstanding performance.
Linda's also modelled in the past. She has modelled
for many salons and done catwalk modelling for top bridal
designers.
She enjoys horseback riding, box aerobics, and exercising
- which explains her endless energy!
Linda dreams to be recognised at The World Music in
Monte Carlo. She believes we are all God's children
and belong to one great world harmony. This is music,
where you find real peace.
