About Linda EPO

Queens native Linda EPO’s unique brand of Latin and Caribbean-infused Funk and R&B draws from the NYC melting pot she was born in, and from her Haitian/Mexican roots. She has toured with Grammy nominated Heritage Blues Orchestra, played at jazz festivals across Mexico as part of the Mexican-roots collective Nixtaband, and has supported soul rock band On the Sun on tours as backup vocalist and keyboardist. As a solo artist, Linda has brought her eclectic mix of jazz, funk, r&b, Caribbean, and Latin music to stages around the world. Having a reputation of leaving everything on stage when she performs, Linda is honest with her voice and unapologetic with her sound and stage presence. Each note she sings is filled with melancholic passion and natural melodic beauty every performance is filled with earnest passion and depth.
