Linda Sylvester is a singer, songwriter, and artist. Born and raised in Florida, her memories are full of sunshine, orange trees, beach life, and music.
Music has always been a part of Linda's life. As a child she was drawn to the rhythms and sounds of nature. Waves crashing on the beach shore like a tympani drum. Wind whistling through leaves. Rhythmic raindrops tapping on a tin roof and birds chirping their melodies into the breeze…these were all sounds that drew her attention, that were musical and connected with her in an unspoken way.
As a young adult, Linda started singing and writing songs, functioning in various groups as a female vocalist and songwriter. In 2008 new doors of opportunity opened and with that came the birth of her solo career and the beginnings of a solo project that had been developing in her heart and mind for a long time. Two years later, her solo album entitled "AWAKENINGS" was born.
Linda has said of her journey leading to the creation of her latest work, "There comes a turning point in life where we begin to touch a reality that we have yet to experience. Secret truths and hidden things suddenly come into view. Fragments are pieced together. Lies are chiseled away to expose the truth that is within. We awaken out of our dream state into a reality that fills every aspect of our being. We awaken to who we are. We awaken to what is real. We awaken to a brand new day. "AWAKENINGS" is a reflection of my life’s journey. It is a collection of original songs about love, letting go, forgiveness, growth, reality, illusion, and life - all experiences leading to an "awakening" to what is real, what is important, and what remains. What an honor it is to be able bring forth something that reaches into and touches the heart of another. God is good."
