Linda Marie; Artist of the Year, Sweden 2015!

At an early age Linda Marie knew she wanted to sing and perform on stage and she was destined to have a music career. Born and raised in Degerfors, Sweden, Linda enjoyed nature, riding her horse in the woods, and getting out to perform every chance she could get.

Linda began writing songs and developing a style of her own, leaning toward a Pop/Country genre. Her early musical influences include the Bee Gees, Electric Light Orchestra, Rod Stewart , Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Gerry Rafferty. She remembers as a child dancing in their family living room, dreaming of being on a big stage somewhere, and she has worked hard to make her dream a reality.

After graduating from high-school Linda moved to Gothenburg; the 2nd largest city in Sweden, where she attended a Performing Arts School to study singing, dancing and acting for 3 years.

Some of Linda’s live performances include school events and local cabarées, as well as performing regularly on a cruise ship several weeks out of each month. Songwriting fulfilled the one thing Linda felt was missing in her life, satisfying her creative talent as an artist. She spent several years singing at cocktail- parties, weddings and bars, combined with day-time jobs to support herself.

Much sacrifice and several trips to Nashville has given Linda an excellent recording project as she completed an album of all original songs she penned with co-writers here in Music City USA, produced byGrammy nominee Kent Wells. She loved the experience and says, ”The creative energy is amazing, people are so talented and friendly and everything is about music- I love it!” Linda continues, ”My goal is to take my talent to the highest possible level; as a singer, songwriter and performing, recording artist. I love music and how it has the power to reach peoples hearts- I wanna be a part of that. Singing, songwriting and performing on stage is my life.”

Linda Marie is an excellent vocalist with an amazing range, she is a great songwriter, and a wonderful dancer!
