Biography

Lindsay's career as a singer began during classical training, progressing to an honours degree in drama & theatre arts (where she worked with people such as playwright David Edgar and playwright/director Terry Johnson) with options in music from University of Birmingham. Having subsequently trained as an actor at Guildford School of Acting, she then took on both acting and singing engagements. Although Lindsay's musical interests and experience were originally in musical theatre from an early age (Sondheim in particular), jazz, swing and big band were waiting to take hold and it wasn't long before she moved into this genre. Work with Cambridgeshire-based band Jazzamber followed before she decided to embark upon a solo career as a light jazz singer with her own band. Lindsay's music influences include: Laura Fygi, Stacey Kent, Jane Monheit, Ella Fitzgerald, Barbra Streisand, the Mamas & Papas, and Helen Shapiro, as well as latin jazz, and the music of Louis Jordan.
