Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Lindy moved with her family to New York City at the age of two before settling in Central Florida four years later. As a child, Lindy felt an immediate connection to the spirit of song and, most importantly, the ability to move people with her creative voice; the trumpet. Under the Florida sun and an ocean backdrop, Lindy spent her teenage years fusing the sound of salsa, merengue and other tropical styles with the structure of classical training.
At the age of twenty, Lindy enlisted in the US Army Band program at the Military School of Music in Norfolk, Virginia where she furthered her training in voice, trumpet and piano. During her first national tour with the US Army Band, Lindy had the honor of performing with the 82nd Airborne Division's Jazz, Latin, Top 40 and Ceremonial bands at hundreds of concerts, military ceremonies and funerals.
After several years of service to her country, Lindy moved on to the global stage, attending the American College in London and playing in the band Passion. Unfortunately, at the height of her musical career, Lindy was forced to return to Central Florida due to great personal tragedy - the passing of her mother.
Out of that tragedy, however, has come a New Day, Lindy's debut CD on her independent record label, Amrak Records. It is an album with as unique a sound as her own life story.
"I try not to regret anything in life and do believe that all things happen for a reason. My mother was and is in spirit my greatest influence." Lindy says "New Day is dedicated in my mother's honor and the track "Angel in the Sky" is a musical tribute to her life."
Below is one of Lindy’s favorite prayers; it inspires and guides her to humbly create and perform musical compositions both lyrically and instrumentally.
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace.
Where there is hate, may I bring love;
Where offense, may I bring pardon;
May I bring union in place of discord;
Truth, replacing error;
Faith, where once there was doubt;
Hope, for despair;
Light, where was darkness;
Joy to replace sadness.
Make me not to so crave to be loved as to love.
Help me learn that in giving I may receive.
In forgetting self, I may find life eternal.
St. Francis of Assisi
