About Me

Hi everyone!
I am Linda, a 25 year old woman. I'm a student / singer / photographer etcetera from the Netherlands.
In my daily life, I study History, and I hope to specialize in the Early Modern War and Society History. That's up to me, because I have to choose my classes carefully. I'm what you call a student forever, I don't want to work yet!
Besides my study, I tend sing a lot. I've sung since I was a little child, sang in a choir for a very, very long time until I moved to Utrecht and didn't have the time anymore.
Three years ago, I started taking singing lessons with Floor Jansen . She helped me to improve my technique, sound and interpretation. For that, I'm very very grateful.
I started singing in bands from 2001 on, and I currently sing in two bands.
Since September 2006 I'm a part of Android Soul , a symphonic progressive rock/metal band, which has sought to combine bombastic symphonic elements with firm power metal. We've signed a record contract with PMM Records in June 2007, and our album, Disappointing Paradise is scheduled for October/November 2007.
Icaros is my second band which I joined in August 2005. More powermetal than Android Soul, but evenso symphonic. We're (still) recording our first demo, which is going to be called Awaiting Seasons. Hopefully, the release is this fall!
I am also a concert photographer! I used to shoot a lot more pictures and recently, I've only taken pictures for a few bands and people, but it is still one of my biggest hobbies. Pictures of the most recent concerts can be found at http://www.frozenleaves.com/cpg !
Furthermore, I have a very sweet boyfriend, and a lovely cat who spends his day sleeping around. I'm pretty content. :)

My Blog

ICAROS kicked ass!!

Most definitely! Normally, I'm not this confident about a gig, but last was probably the best one ever! Everybody had a great time, Erik did a great job at his first time on stage. We're so happy to h...

Dear everyone,

I kindly want to ask you to not use my page as an advertisement for your music/pictures/cd's etcetera. I feel a little uncomfortable by being everyones spambuddy. Of course, if it's related to myself,...

Funny how I have grown in the last three studio weeks. I could never have imagined that we would get along so well for such a long time, but I believe we've developed a much closer connection with all...

My cat is weird

Definitely. He eats corn. I don't think that's very healthy for a cat.   Well, we'll find out tomorrow, I guess.

Gigging

You know, it's weird. I've stood on stage many times before (although only one time alone) . I love the stage. I love having a good performance to entertain my crowd. But when we we heard we play with...
