Linda Waterfall (her real name) is a Seattle singer-songwriter. She grew up in northern Illinois and studied piano beginning at the age of eight. Her parents (both musicians) discouraged her from a musical career. She graduated from Stanford University in 1971 with a degree in visual art.

Despite her parents' advice, she began a career in music. She moved to Seattle in 1975 and has toured nationally since 1983. [1]

In the 1960s, she spent several years as a student of Hari Das Baba and also studied Transcendental Meditation.

She is a breast cancer survivor.[2]
