Provided by the compucert (November 6, 2007 – Los Angeles , Luthier Publicity) Commonalities between most modern artists in music often speak of hardships endured, including family conflict and inner struggle, but when you have an artist that was raised as a concert pianist by strict Mormons and values the grass-roots aspects of making music and sharing it with others, you create one of the hottest emerging artists in today’s music industry… Linda Strawberry.
By the age of 17, Strawberry had already received her first development deal with 50 songs already under her belt and by 22 had worked on records engineering and editing for Smashing Pumpkins, Zwan, The Dandy Warhols, Sarah McLachlan, and Marianne Faithfull. Shortly after, Linda Strawberry signed a publishing record deal with Chrysalis Music Publishing and then left to tour the world with Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins, Zwan) where she appeared on Jay Leno and Letterman.
Recently, Linda Strawberry has been asked to headline the Beverly Hills Film Festival and is working on a new video with director Justin Coloma. Strawberry’s latest efforts also include the launch of her record label, Lovely Chaos Records. She has released her latest EP The Lost Record . The EP contains the single “Thieves” and the songs from the recording will be included in her first full-length record due out in February, 2008.
Linda Strawberry’s chaotic, rebellious, and intelligent methods for making music and promoting to her audience are anything but orthodox, yet this striking artist is proving that it is perhaps her model for the music industry that should be brought to the attention of others. When asked about her motivation for taking things so far with her grass-roots approach she replies "It will be interesting to see what happens if a lot of artists take this opportunity to create their own unique sound free of major label influence. In that climate there's a better chance that great music will be made. It’s the labels that need the artists, not the other way around"
