NIKESHA LINDO

BIO

Nikesha Lindo displays all the earmarks of one who will set new heights in the world of female
reggae artists. Her unique approach to writing means that no two songs sound the same. “I've
always loved writing because English was my favorite subject” she said, “I always used to write
poems from I was younger and what my dad used to do sometimes was to put a melody to my
poems. I have a lovers’ rock style of writing but I am versatile and write about different aspects
of love, and about other things as well, like culture and positive uplifting, feel good, type of
songs”.

Nikesha is also a songwriter, writing her own originals as well as songs for other artists.
Recently she has recorded a number of her originals for ace reggae producers - Flava McGregor
and Sly and Robbie amongst others. Some of these new releases such as “Love On The
Replay”, “Where The Heart Is” and “All My Love” featuring Sizzla. Her tracks have been getting
glowing reviews and air spins from respected industry players worldwide.

Nikesha’s interest in music just evolved naturally; in fact, she actually grew up in the recording
studio environment with her dad - Willie Lindo, who is a legend in reggae music as a musician
and producer. She did her first professional recording at age 8, voicing a Christmas song
‘’Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer” in combination with her older brother, the multitalented
Kashief Lindo. She subsequently released a solo album of Christmas songs when she was 12.
She explains, “Everyday I was at the studio after school, so it just seemed natural to see people
working; even when I started recording, it just seemed normal to be doing what I saw my dad do
with Kashief. What’s funny is, my dad has this recording of me singing “Super Woman” when I
was 3 years old. I would not believe it if I didn’t hear it. So, for me singing comes naturally, I just
do it, not even understanding the gravity of it”.

A business graduate who is now pursuing a degree in psychology, Nikesha approaches the
music with the same discipline. She has several musical projects in the works and has just
released a new single - a lovely cover of the Beatles “Yesterday”, produced by Willie Lindo; she
will be releasing her mix tape this spring, followed by a full length album later in the year. A
hard working artist in the studio and on stage, Nikesha does all her background vocals on her
recordings, and has done the same for many other artists. She has toured the east coast and
worked in Arizona, otherwise the South Florida talent mainly performs in the area.

On her down time she loves to watch a movie, chill out with her friends and listen to all kinds
of music. “ Two of my favorite singers are Beres Hammond and Marcia Griffiths, but I listen
to everything, music is just a vibe and I go with what I feel” she exclaimed, “ I would like
everybody to prosper because music on a whole would be better, and that’s why I love music
and I enjoy doing it.
