About Linda

Born, Linda Marie Rodrigo, July 11, 1966, in New York, N.Y., Linda Marie Noyes, (pronounced “noise”), is an American Indie Pop-Rock-Soul musician, singer-songwriter, recording artist, composer, author, arranger, producer, and publisher.

Additional genres include Jazz/Soul Fusion, Dance, Funk, Electronic, Eclectic Film Score, Blues, Standards, R&B, Alternative, Adult Contemporary, and Classical. Linda is additionally branching out into sound designing and music score composing for film and television, comedic-character voice-over, narration, modeling, and acting.
According to family, Linda began singing Francis Lai’s, “Theme From A Man and A Woman” at age two, becoming so enthralled with the song, she would chase others down for singing it. She later fell in love with a waltz her older sister, (New York Visual Artist, Nancy Rodrigo), would practice, leading her to study classical piano just to learn it. The following year, at eight years old; Linda composed, arranged, and performed her first original song, (also a waltz), at her school’s musical recital. Three years later the sisters would perform in New York City’s, Central Park, with her sister on guitar/lead vocals and Linda singing harmony.
Although a move to Hollywood, Florida was a culture shock, she continued playing, composing, and singing. At age nineteen she joined musical forces with former United Artists Recording Artist, Roy Smith, forming Pop / R&B Duo, “Mirror, Mirror”.
In the spring of 1988 the boy/girl duo gained local popularity after a live performance and interview, along side Top 40 Pop Girl Trio, Company B., on a late night variety show called “Way Off Broadway”, aired on South Florida Cable Network Channel 33.
A few months later the duo’s manager, Jimmy Maples, booked them to perform up the southeastern U.S. Coast to Augusta, Georgia, where they stirred the interest of Soul music Legend, James Brown, who had planned to sign Ms. Noyes under his label with Scotti Bros. Records just prior to unforeseen circumstances. One year later Linda was contracted to play and sing back up for major recording artists, John Anderson and Chuck Leavell, in Albany, Georgia for The Annual National Celebrity Quail Association in her manager’s seven-piece band.
